I'm wanting to plow about ten acres and don't have a plow. The tractor options is my IH H or IH 454. I have plowed with the H before with 2 12s but I was wondering if the 454 at almost 40hp would pull 2 14s on 3pt hitch. My friend has either that I can borrow.
 
The 454 and the h weigh about the same and should both handle 2x14 plows , however if weighted the 454 May handle a 3rd bottom as it does have the power to pull it.
 

10 acres will keep you busy for a FULL day, with 3x14"..

With a 2x14, expect to take 2 days..(the "H" would be more fun).!

(Maybe ONE day, if ya want to put in about 15 hours or so)..

You didn't mention what is on the field you are going to plough down.I remember pulling a IH ace bottom 3 11"
with spring hitch, did a great job , so long as there was no trash on the field. If there was trash to bury ,
, I would be plugged often.So if the plough for the 454 has more clearance and you have trash , that is how
I would go.

I looked at friends 2 14's and I like the looks of them but has no back wheel(It's 3 pt). He sez you have to have them set just right and maybe with a sway bar. He plowed garden with them and looked good.
 
It does not take near that long to 10 acres. I have pulled a 2-14 with my old ford 4000 and it did take some time but not all day. a good after noon. I can plow twice that much with my 3-14 and farmall 656 in an afternoon no problem.
 


You use NO "sway Bar" when plowing...

But you might need a Gauge wheel to control plowing depth..

Some tractors need them..JD 60 is a good example.

A Gauge wheel can be made with not a lot of work, if you do need one..
