Oliver Hydraulic Reset Plow

I'm going to look at an oliver 4 bottom semi mount hydraulic reset plow. I'd rather have a spring reset, but the guy only wants $1000 for it (I'm in NY, so everything is more expensive)
I know they plowed good, but are the reset systems a problem?
Thanks
Pete
 
The plates that support the cylinder mounts are weak and break. We had a 575 a long time ago and even with a Deere type variable pressure relief valve we would break plates. You would probably get along well enough in conditions where rocks are minimal and the soil does not harden like concrete.
 
They're a problem. Wait for a spring reset. You can't buy rebuild kits for those cylinders anymore.
 
Thanks guys - it's hill country in central NY, so there's plenty of heavy soil and rocks. I can find five bottom plows all day long, but the four bottoms are hard to find around here. A five bottom would be a little much for my 1755
Guess I'll hold out for a spring reset

Pete,

I know this is a long way from where you live but found this 4 bottom reasonably priced.

Hope this helps someone. Not mine and not associated.

I bought an Oliver spring loaded 3 bottom earlier this year for $250.00
 
Perhaps if you find a 5 bottom, you should look closely, because it might be a 4 bottom with an add on. As far as your 1755, it depends on whether the plow is 16 or 18 inch too. 4x18 would be a real nice choice. I had a 4x18 behind a 4020, and a 3x18 behind a 2520.
