plow for Kubota

[Anonymous Poster]

I have a Kubota B2100 and am thinking of buying a single bottom 14 inch plow from TSC. Will the 21 horse tractor be able to pull this plow in snail mode. It is just to plow a small garden - not commercial use.

I have used a single bottom plow successfully with my B7100D (16hp/ gear drive/ 4wd / Ag tires). I'd say that you will have no problems if you have AG tires and may be okay even with turf tires.

dacus1, it's going to depend to a great extent on what kind of soil you have, moisture content, and depth you set the plow to. It may go very easily, or you may find that you cannot plow as deep as you wanted to.

Dacus,
As Bird said it will depend on what you have to work with with soil. As an example I've got a JD 4600 MFWD and I couldn't pull my two bottom plow with it to plow some pasture ground that I have and it's 43 hp. I had to use my Massey Super 90. On the other hand it will pull it in ground that has already been worked.

I just purchased a 12" single for my 7500DT. Power is no problem but the tractor is just not heavy enough. I have the industrial R4 tires. I think if I add fluid in the back suitcase weights on the front and ag tires I'd be fine. But if I would have known I was going to have to spend all that, I may have waited till I could afford the tiller. Live and learn.

I am running a L2500 (27hp) and have no trouble with my 12" bottom plow. My turf tires are filled. The Howse plow weights 214# and is recommended for tractors with 15 to 25 HP.

I have a B2100 and pull a 14" single plow with turf tires and FEL. Last fall I plowed about an acre that wasn't plowed for more than 25 years. My only problem was I could not get the sod to lay completely over it kinda stood on its side. My gorund is very very rocky but it did a good job considering all the rocks and it made for easier roto-tilling.

Isn't the solution for that to run faster if you can?

A friend offered his two bottom plow if I ever needed it. He cautioned though that it doesn't have (forget the name), an extra wing or blade above the main blade that gets the soil to layover. I do recall seeing these features on the big ag plows and they do a nice job of completely turning the soil over. Hope this helps /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Should be no problem. I previously had a Yanmar 240 (24 hp) with a single bottom plow (before the B2100 I have now with a tiller). Even with turfs and 2wd it would turn over any ground I attempted to work. Take your time and experiment, that is the fun of this work.

dacus; I have a L2350 that pulls a 12" two bottom. Has no problem at all. My ground has alot of clay in it. First time I plowed it with sod on it. I plowed in low range high gear. Now I can plow in high range second gear. I think you will be ok just take your time and have fun./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
I do have ags,and there not filled.

I have done some more experimenting with my 7500DT and 12" FarmStar plow. I set the depth stop on the three point to take the guess work out of it. It took some trial and error but I got a good compromise on depth, and was able to plow without near as many hangups. My ground has a considerable amount of clay which is most of the problem. I plow as fast as the tractor can so it throws the sod over better. When I had my old Massey 50 and two bottom I had a lot of trouble with sod flipping back over. But this little plow from TSC does a heck of a job on my bota when it isn't hanging the tractor. I should mention that hanging the tractor mostly occurs when breaking new ground. If I'm plowing ground that was worked the previous year I can cook right along. I still want a tiller, but I think now I'll keep my plow even if/when I get the tiller. Oh one more thing... the old Massey (MF-50) would get hung some too.

A plow for breaking sod has a different moleboard [ it will turn the sod over ] than one used on previously tilled land.
