plow

As far as what to look for, I would make sure the plow had useable shares and having the tail wheel or furrow wheel is a must have.

The jointers or coulters are not a necessity unless you are breaking new sod.

If you need to replace the shares the old "fish hook" type are available but very pricey so if you can find a plow with decent sharp points on the shares that are still useable, that is a plus.

If you have to keep the plow "original" you will find vendors that have "NOS" plow points available that will cost you more than you will likely pay for the plow.

There are a lot of Dearborn and Ferguson Plows for sale so don"t be in a big rush to buy the first one you run across.

You can also buy original and repro manuals for both Dearborns and Fergusons online.

HTH--good luck--you will have fun plowing.

The 3-12" plow set is a load for the little Fergy. I would get either 2-12" or 2-14" plows for the tractor. If you can find a set of plows that have the auto trip, good chance they will not be sprung as they trip, if you hit a rock or root and do not tear up the plow.

I also like the field cultivator plow that ferguson made, I have one and it's a great plow as it leaves the land flat, no plow furrows.

You may have to turn your Carburetor power fuel adjustment out about 1/2 round when you start plowing. You do not want any hesitation as plows enter ground.

This old plow listed on ebay looks just like my 3-12" set only with the third plow off. Note it has all the options, wing extentions, colter scraps and trail wheel.

Note item called Ferguson Tiller, this is what I have for breaking up soil, will not turn over dirt, but its like a small Chisel plow, works great, I use it most of the time, then disc behind it.

Good luck, will need good points on plow to get it to suck into dirt,
