Plow size question??

[jb2010]

I'm looking to buy a plow for my 2wd ym2220. I am wondering if it will pull a 2 x 12" bottom turning plow. If it will do it without causing traction problems then I'm all over it but I have no clue. I just don't want to get it and my tractor spin out and get me nowhere. Any advice would be much appreciated. I'm getting it in excellent condition for 175.00. It does not have the disc on it. Does that make a difference? Thx in advance.

You would probably be better off with a single bottom plow. Most people figure 20HP per bottom and your tractor has 25HP. Of course, soil conditions have to be taken into consideration.

2WD is also going to be an issue as the plow tries to turn the tractor. The tractor photo in the avatar doesn't have a FEL (for weight) or front ballast so that will make it even more difficult to keep the tractor in the furrow.

Coulters (the disks in front of the moldboard) are not essential but make pllowing sod much cleaner.

However, a plow in excellent condition for $175 is hard to pass up. You don't mention the model of the plow so it is not known whether it can be converted to a single bottom.
