New old plow in action (pics)

Here's some pics of the plow...

I've never plowed before and I'm loving it.

Plow, Plow, Plow

Very cool, great pics and I really like your web-site! Nice job of blending Green and Orange. Looks like that plow does a fine job, you got those moldboards shined right up!

Looks like you're catching on quick! I've worn out a few plows over the years and it's STILL the most fun thing to do on a tractor.

I have a quick question about plowing since I have never plowed either. Is their a rule of thumb on how big vs hp and is hp ptohp or engine hp? thanks

I use a 3-14 plow on a JD 5200 2-wd that is 45 hp (40 pto hp) and it pulls ok and I have heavy clay soils. If you stay around 15 pto hp per bottom or chisel plow shank, you should be okay depending on what kind of soil you are in.

Nice job, I like the straight furrows and REALLY clean/organized shop!!

You need more toys (tools), you have WAY too much room in the shop.

Looks GREAT!!

Here is an old farmer joke:

"What did the tractor say to the plow? Come closer, John Deere..."

Nice job on the plowing.

Looking good! I guess you've already figured this out, it's addictive!

Hey Kevin looks like you have that plowing business under control. And to think that Thundra could pull that trailer and plow home for you, wow.

Okay, why is that? I agree completely, but I don't understand it. I'm new to tractors (3 years) and even newer to plowing (1/2 year). I've got all the typical toys a weekend tractor warrior might have: FEL, rotary cutter, box blade, potato digger, disk etc. But, after finding a cheap used 2 bottom plow last fall, plowing is the most fun thing I've done. I don't understand the appeal, but it is very gratifying.

I wish I had more to plow.
