Wow that's sweet.

Now if you had another plow,One on the other side of the bar you could really turn some dirt.
Wonder if it would pull 2 plows?
How's the power of that great machine?

Looks like it has enough weight on the drive wheels to pull 2.

The power was good I had it at half throttle.

Thanks guys, I have to thank you again ray for selling me the plow.

My pleasure, Jerome.

I'm glad to see you enjoying it and I used the money from the sale to by parts for my Ridemaster.
So it worked out well for the both of us.

Well, Jerome, after seeing the great videos, I guess I am now on the lookout for a plow for my Ridemaster.

Its nice to see that machine plowing. I like the way the geometry is setup so that it has to plow well.

Have any Pictures of your Ridemaster?

Jerome

I was looking at your photos again ( because they are nice ) and it just dawned on me that you're running the plow to full depth with out having any front wheel weights on.
..... I'm impressed !!

EricFromPa had made a comment about running two plows.
I would be willing to bet that you could do just that and it would handle it just fine.
At most, you might have to put on the wheel weights.

Have any Pictures of your Ridemaster?

Here are a couple of pics from the day I brought it home back in 2009. It came with the sickle bar mower, disc harrows, and wheel weights. I also now have the grader blade and trailer hitch that I got from Ray (jdcrawler).

It is a model 35AB01 from 1948, and has the original Wisconsin AKS engine. It runs great.



Had a little salt spray on it from trailering it across two states! I did clean that off later.

Nice to see it turning dirt!

It really does make a nice furrow doesn't it?

I was wondering, how's the ride? Are they any rougher with the sulky or is it better that way?

Thanks for sharing you play day with us, it was very cool.
