You could always get a trailer plow. They still work good. Around my area of NY unless it is a JD they go pretty cheap.

Tim: I'd think long and hard about that one. You will never do it for the price 3 bottom plows go for. You might cut a 4, 5 or 6 bottom down to 3. Make sure you get your engineering right.

If you talking fabrication of a plow frame forget it.

I heartily agree with the suggestion of cutting down a larger plow. Around here, they sit in droves all over in the 4-5 bottom variety. The larger ones can be had for scrap iron price in most cases where a 2-3 bottom plow will bring $300-350.

I'm going to a consignment auction in Wooster, Ohio this weekend and hoping to pick up a 2-3 bottom 14" three point plow for a decent price. Used equipment dealers seem to want 200-300 dollars for them.

I think you'd be far better off finding one rather than building. One all together is worth less than the sum of the parts.

Well unless you have a good bit of real heavy iron around you will find that you will spend 2 or 3 time more money on one then finding one at and auction. I've been to auctions where one will go for $10 one time and the next time one will go for $500. One of those things where you need to be in the right place at the right time.

I agree with Old around here those plows usually don't bring many dollars.
Where are you located? I could keep my eyes if it not to far to transport.

I've noticed that small plows bring as much as a five bottom. Buy a bigger one and cut it down. Plows are going cheap because of the fuel they need. Round Up ready crops are making them obsolete.

Plows of any kind are lawn ornaments, should be able to find one for scrap value. Why build one???
