Hello,
I am restoring a Super 55 tractor and would like to find a plow for it. I actually want to learn how to use the plow, but want to use it for show too. I found a lisitng for an Oliver 3point 2 bottom trip beam plow. I know the "3point" and "2bottom", but what does "trip beam" mean? Thanks. I saw a good discussion on learning how to plow listed below and I would like to try it.

Make shure that the plow will fit, That is, if the tractor has a catagorie 1 hitch the plow has the same, Oliver plows are good

The first tractor plows had a release mechanism on the hitch so when you hit a rock it would release from the tractor and not break anything. Later wheel type and 3 point plows were a little different. When you hit a rock instead of the plow unhooking, the bottom or bottoms that hit the rock would trip and pivot backwards. The plow beam would trip instead of the hitch to keep from breaking something, especially the farmers teeth on the steering wheel.

Thanks Fudd. I still have my teeth and want to keep them. I'll have to check into that plow. It's an Oliver and I don't see many around here. But this plow is in Edmonton, Alberta and I'm in Vancouver, BC.
