I have seen a 4-16 rollover plow sell here for 3500 I saw a couple jd rollover plows here I n Indiana on tractor house a 3-16 and a 4-16 modle F835 both of them and wanted 1500 and 2000. I just can't justify that kind of money on a plow. I spent 550$ on my 5 bottom Oliver plow, I took off one bottom and I set it on 18in then reset on 16in I can pull it on 5-16 ok 4-18 is ok a bit better then 4-16 I can pull in any ground no matter what. So I left it set as a 4-16. [Reply]  [No Email]

Another neighbor pulled a similar plow with a 5088 FWA and it appeared to be a good match. I worked for a farmer who had a pair of IH 3-bottom rollovers and put one on a 4030 (80hp) and the other on a 4010 with a ~90hp 4020-sized engine. In either case it was about all the tractor wanted.
