Plows

[G6 at Snook, TX]

Who sells new two bottom, or one, plows that could fit behind our 8n? I have been watching for Dearborn or Ferguson plow for awhile and have not hit on one worth purchasing.

Would this work with our 8n?

Try posting for Ken Sweet, he hangs out on the implement forum, I think he sells both new and used plows...seems like a good person

Tomball isn't too far away. And it looks like you can remove one of the bottoms if three's too many.

Just went to the link. Think there is something wrong with that company. 2 bottom plow with working width of 40" would mean a 20" bottom, on the single bottom it says 33" working width that would mean a 33" bottom and never heard of anything like that, 20" on some of the new adjustable giant plows and they only go up to 22". The frame design would keep me away even if not for what looks like a poorly designed bottom that they should be calling a 12" or 14" bottom with a working width on 2 bottom of 24" or 28" and no mention of coulters or I think no replacement parts.

It may be a stupid question, but how hard is it to get parts, plow shears and such for a Ferguson? We have a good parts house in the area, but I have yet to approach them for information.

Also, the two bottom play in New Waverly, is that a Dearborn, or can you tell from the picture?

Lastly, when going to buy used plow, what should I look for to make sure it is not messed up?

Google Lowry Plow, Boaz, Ala. A local N. Ga. Dealer quoted me a new 2-12 plow for less than $500.00 and colters for $50.00 each. I'm going to give it a try. I will report back in the spring.

got to understand the jap codes,they are probably talking about the width as veiwed from the side.LOL.Ive looked at these plows,not bad for the money.Coulters cost extra on most i think.If i were to buy new for a 8n i wouldnt look any farther.Simply because i wouldnt have to pay shipping.Of course you and i know the coulters dont help steering any,fellow who wrote the reveiw needs to adjust his plow.Believe it or not,thats a pretty standard frame nowdays.and in one way its better.if you bend a beam or whatever you simply replace the part thats bent or broke.

I am a rookie at plowing. Will the plow I posted from TSC work well enough with the 8n to bust up the ground for a garden? It is virgin ground never busted. I am trying to get a consensus.

For a garden, is it better to rent a rototiller or the the light disk?

Thanks

On that I see too many places it is designed in that it would want to catch trash and clog. To me it just looks like something I would look further for a plow. And I have both a 9N & 2N and the plow Dad bought new with the 2N in May of 1944

How big is your garden, and how accessible for an 8N with implements?

If it's the typical family garden that you could rototill in an hour or less, that's how I'd go.

If you plow, you'll need to then disc, and will still have lumps and clumps of grass, etc. You actually should have done this last fall - if you do it now, your rotting grass, etc. will make the soil pretty 'hot' to try to grow a garden in this spring.

Add to that the fact that you'll be sorting how how to run your plow and all, and that would tip the scales more in favor of tilling in my opinion. Find another (adjacent?) piece of ground to practice your plowing on this spring or fall, and plant something in it next year.

On the other hand, if all you have is the plow and disc, go for it! You'll still be able to plant a garden, it just won't be as nice to work as if you tilled it.

What I had planned on doing was getting a simple two bottom plow. The hesitation I with going for a dearborn or Ferguson is the availability of repair parts. It seems it might be a problem, if I a wrong please correct me.

I would rent the rototiller to put behind a JD 990 I have as well. I know the 8n can't go slow enough to do the deed. There is plenty of room to plant the garden and it would be somewhat large.
