(quoted from post at 16:59:24 03/22/13) Of the two plows in the pictures, the upper mold board plow
doesn't work well here as it is very moisture dependent in this
Houston Black Clay. If the clay gets any kind of moisture, which
it normally has, it will gum up and you just have a big mess.
The disc "one way" plow works perfectly and at two bottoms for
30 ish hp tractors it fits well. For the larger tractors, JD makes
one ways out to 16 or so discs.

(quoted from post at 16:19:13 03/22/13) I have both the Ferguson 2 disc plow and a Massey #62 2-14"
moldboard plow. I pull both of them with my Ferguson TO20. I
prefer using the disc plow. It pulls much easier than a
moldboard plow,and it will plow most anything. [b:c9107bf607]As far as the
disc's as long as you get a Ferguson or the later Massey
version you can still get new discs for them.[/b:c9107bf607]
(quoted from post at 17:06:09 03/23/13) bret:
the trail guide wheel is very important in making a disc plow work, or pull straight.
the disc blades push the plow to the left, the trail guide wheel must be angled enough to push back and keep the plow running straight.
most old disc plows were put in the fence row when the rear trail wheel disc blade (straight blade like a plow coulter blade worn down and could no longer bite in enough to keep the plow running straight.
my friend and I have two ferguson disc plows, picture attached is the other disc plow, both work great: I had to replace the rear trail guide blade on both of them first thing.
I bought a flat plow coulter blade 18" I think, laid the old blade over the new one and used my torch, blew the mount holes into the new blade,
worked like a charm.
again: you must be able to adjust the rear guide wheel and it must have enough bite to it, to keep the plow going straight.
otherwise, a disc plow will not work.
on the plow disc blades themselves, you can take your 4 1/2" disc grinder and sharpen the edges of the main plow blades, if necessary.
