I'm getting this International single bottom trailer plow. The thing is, it's 15 feet long, has a 30 inch moldboard, weighs about 3500 pounds, and makes an IH 706 work hard. The says it was made in Canada. Could I get some more info on this plow? The owner is in Minnesota. None of my books say about this collosus. Can I get a book from Canada about International and this plow?

Did you buy the one on ebay? I was looking at that one. In our area, Duluth MN, they were used to clear brush and small trees back in the 20's and 30's. Grandpa had a guy come in with a dozer and use one to clear some of the land we farm. I was told that they weren't pulled very deep, just used to clear trash and expose soil. I have seen pictures of old 22-36's pulling smaller ones.

All the main line companies built breaker ploughs up to about 1960 and then stopped because there was no demand for them. What you are probably looking at is a model 459 or 461 and I would be very surprised if the share was more than 26 inches which is still big. Remeber the maximum power they had was either a Super WD-9 or a TD-9. There are still specialty companies in the southern states that build these things and they are mostly to rip up dryland or to bury blown sand. They certainly are a specialized item these days.

Holy PLOW, Batman! Probably was designed for use in muck land where the depth of the soil was several feet. Remember seeing one of those plows featured on a film at a John Deere day program when I was a kid. Was being pulled by a crawler tractor.

Saw an article in a magazine about a guy in Saskachewan, I think, who was pulled a plow like that with a Cat D8 in the fifties through peat soil to make it farmable. Still some plows like that around up there today, pulled by Cat Challengers and CaseIH QuadTracs according to article.
