Found this plow on craigslist, wanted to get any thoughts/opinions for this on an H. Looks like it would need some metal clean up.

get it cheap enough, clean it up and paint it any color you want, if it fits, who's to know the difference. what c-l did you find it, don't know where you live.

My only comment it looks like there is no safety-trip (break-away) standard. My old plow has that feature, and it sure has come in real handy with my H; there is an occassional big rock here in SW MO. My plow breaks and trips, and I just back up to click it back int place, and go.
Somebody brought this up last week, about no ROPS on H's.

It looks as if there is 1 piece points on that plow and where I live they are real hard to find. It also looks like it is for Cat.1 3Pt. That will work as long as you don't have a Cat.2 3 Pt.

Just how are you going to get the furrow wheel on the H to track in the furrow. That plow is a piece of junk homemade and the 3-pt on the H is not made for a plow unless you are just plowing a garden and dont care what kind of a job it does. When the front of the tractor goes up the plow will go down and when the front goes down the plow comes up.
$50 would be too much for that plow. It's an abused, worn-out orphan.
I'm sure the owner thinks it's worth $400-$500.
The add-on 3pt on an H was never intended to be used with a plow. It's going to take some skill, and VERY consistent stone-free ground, to get decent results from a 3pt hitch plow on an H.
There's a video on youtube that details how to set up a 3pt hitch plow. You need to have the wheel width correct on the tractor, so the right rear wheel runs in the furrow, and the first bottom takes a full cut. You need to have the plow leveled front-to-back, and side-to-side when the tractor is in the furrow.
Youtube will also show you a LOT of people "plowing" and just totally making a mess of things!

You mayb be right, I was planning on getting botha plow and a disc, I had a discussion with someone who was saying weeds are better controlled if you get the soil turned over first.

Yeah, Roundup is great for killing plants before working the soil, but you get less weeds when plowing first. I don"t want to use Roundup half way through the grown season

Yeah, you've convinced me that it is a mess. By the way, the owner emailed me today and said he could let it go for $350.

Round-up for a burndown and then disking should be just as effective as Round-up then plowing. If you were really concerned you could spray it, wait a week, disc it, let things germ, disc it, and plant it. This is similar to what the organic people do (w/o the Round-up :lol: )

That actually looked like a decent plow. Around here, 2 bottom 3 point hitch plows go from anywhere from $300-$450. I don't see where $300 is out of line for it. The only thing I see that it needs (and its really up to you) are new shares where the old ones have a little wear. I'm not sure, but to me it looks like it might be a factory made plow with some reinforcement modifications. Although, when one sees something in person, it can be a whole different story.

Looks to me like an early Ferguson 3-point plow. Don't know what the story is on the added angle iron. If somebody went to the trouble of stripping the paint off the data plate . . .
