Plow question

[Mearntain]

I'm in need of getting a plow for use around the property, and was browsing Agrisupply's website tonight. When looking at their plows, I found 2 similar plows, but they're extremely different in price. I'm new to the tractor world and not familiar with all the ins and outs yet. Could someone explain what the difference in these are to me and what the benefits of both would be? I thought moldboard plow was just a different name for a bottom plow, but maybe I was wrong about that? I've got a ford 2000 3 cyl gasser and plan doing some small amounts of plowing in the 3-4 acre range.

I bet that's a typo I didn't see that a year ago when I was looking as to the difference the 900$ one looks like it's built better but I imagine you would be happy with either with the small amount your talking about working.

You can find an older good used plow for $300 all day

I agree. There are tons of them on Craigslist in my area for around $225-$275. I actually just picked up a John Deere 2 bottom from there last week for $140.

While I agree that an older plow is the best choice, finding an operable one for $300 "all day" requires some verification.

Might be one around that requires a substantial rebuild but that would have to be figured into the price.

I have been looking around some to try to find a decent used one for a fair price, but haven't had any luck yet. All I've seen so far have either been just as much as a brand new one or in very questionable shape.

I don't think it's a typo cause they have the same thing going on with the single plows. They've got one for 289 that has holes in the plows like the cheaper of the doubles that I posted, and then they have another single plow that's for 589. I'm really interested I what the differences are, but the make it hard to tell as only the cheaper of the plows has a product description, while the more expensive of the plows doesn't have a description.

I'm almost thinking if I can get a double plow that's a decent quality one brand new for 489, I'd almost rather do that. But the real question is how well made thsee are.

. I better hang on to it. I'm waiting for the ground to dry up so I can try it out.

If you have tree roots and or rocks under the surface, well if your tractor is strong enough, it might break a lighter type plow. I lucked out several years back when I spotted a John Deere two bottom plow being used as yard art!!!! I ask about it, left them my number and a couple weeks they called and just gave it to me. Blessings indeed..
