- 1993 NH 2120 (the best), 1974 MF 135 (sold, but solid), 1947 Farmall A (bought, sold, bought back, sold again), 1956 MH50 lbt (sold, in 1980, darn it)
I have a Ford 2120 on Ag tires, 7109 loader, with an old Fisher pa plow welded to the QA plate, so it sticks way out front. Maybe 5500 lbs loaded. The plow pins where it would on a truck, and the top a-frame is on there with the old chain. Float via the chain, but no down pressure. If it's not scraping my mostly gravel drive clean, I raise the loader arms to raise the pin pivot point and it digs better. Lower the loader and the plow will bump over minor obstructions like froze-in rocks better.
Aside from the awkwardness of the length (haven't hit MUCH) this setup does not push the tractor around too bad. When it does I straighten the blade and keep pushing. Not sure why others have trouble keeping straight, but it doesn't happen to everyone.
