I thought guys would like to see the 2 bottom plow that Halfscale and his dad built for me.They pattern it from jd plow.They came over to my house friday afternoon to make sure everthing was right before they paint it.Later Josh
Looks like two 8" bottoms to me. I like the distance between the tractor and the first bottom, it should help with the trash build up problems that a shorter gap would have. Any plans to run coulters ?
Ron we are not planning on putting coulters on the plow.It has 6in plow shears.It is not to often that I will be plowing sod.My tractor has been in furrow already and dirtyHaha.Thanks for all compliments Halfscale and his dad did a great job on it.They are great friends too.
Josh, that's a great looking plow. Very nice fabrication. I'm looking forward to see how it does at plow day. I'm sure there will be lots of photos taken of that rig.
Thanks for posting the pics Josh. I know that Dan and Jim do some WONDERFUL work. They are some fine folks.Looking forward to seeing your plow when it's finished.
Nice plow! Got some questions though. What is the total width cut by the plow? Can the plows be adjusted individually? What is the HP and drive train (hydro or gear) of the tractor you are using?
16hp Yanmar 3 cylinder diesel coupled to hydrostatic trans. Plow are two 6" plows, for a total cut of 12". That tractor will pull these with ease. Typically you run a plow around 1/2 as deep as the width of cut, but Josh can pull these to around 5" deep I'd say.
Very very very cool set up you have there. Should do really well in the dirt. I sure wish PA was a lot closer to MO than it is. There is a antique 2-cylinder club around here that does a plowday, but I don't know of any around here for gt's.
Hey old buzzard and ducky that will make your tractors grunt.The reason that I went with 2 six inch shears was so I can go to the half century of progress next year I can plow in that soil out there.The soil is different every were you go.I would not build a custum plow that you cann't use every where I can plow.That is just my opinion.Thanks Guys for all the compliments.Halfscale is thinking about make them for other people.If interested in a plow give him a pm.Later Josh
Heh, heh....thought I'd start a little "Color War"
Shucks, on one of the Antique Tractor forums I go to, 1/2 the fun is making fun of the various brands, and giving the other tractors factious names.
IH vs JD vs Oliver vs Allis vs ...
For instance
Farmall = Farmalittle
John Deer = Jack Sheep
Oliver = Oilallover
Ford = Dorf
