(quoted from post at 19:11:54 07/12/17) I am on the hunt for an MF plow for my MF 135, I want either a 2 furrow or a 3-12" furrow unit, can someone tell me what model I should be looking for to match the 1970 vintage of my tractor? Just doing gardens and small plots with it, I have another plow on my 1135 for the bigger jobs.
I'd like to stay in the same vintage as the tractor just because I'm that way.
You certainly don't need a 3 bottom. That is the max for your tractor when new, in perfect soil and conditions. No matter what the salesroom and stickers said 50 years ago...
If you have small projects, small plots, and never plowed before, a one bottom would be best. To learn how to set and adjust everything to your tractor- tire size and track, etc. The top link, leveling box, coulter depth if you bother with it, there is so much to learn and practice, i am still doing it- 45 years later... I've seen people take a 3 bottom, chew up a patch of ground like a herd of pigs, and be so proud of the mess! Check the archives on this forum and Harry Ferguson, check out what other people do- right or wrong, on you tube. There are videos from the UK where judges are measuring the depth width and angles of the furrow... those videos show you what the results 'are suppose to ' look like. And just start slow. You are too late for most veggies, so don't rush. And show us pictures. Good luck.
