I have a Ford 3600 with a diesel engine. What do you suggest for heavy clay soil.I would like one with coulters. I've looked for something with replacement parts that are easy to find. I'm thinking one should have three pieces that can be easily replaced. Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm finding some local without coulters. A Dearborn 10-1 no coulters for 250 but believe any parts are hard to find. An Oliver 514a in Ohio for 700 didn't check shipping price. Picture of the Oliver looks good with good coulters. The Dearborn only needs coulters. But it is the prior plow not the economy model.

I use to use a 3600 diesel with a 2 bottom in red clay. 2 was all it wanted.

I have used a number of plows over the years.

I like the Ford 101 plow, not to say its the best,

a 14" or 16" plow will have more throat height than a 12" plow, the more throat height you have allows the debris to flow through and not get choked. when looking at a plow setting on the ground there appears to be plenty of throat area on a 12" plow, but remember when its in the ground you have to reduce that number by 6-8 inches.

just my humble opinion, also replacement parts is a critical issue if you hit something and break a part. picture of a ford 101 16" plow with auto kick back, would be a good fit for your tractor,

your tractor would rock and roll with this plow,

Another option
If you cannot find a set of 2 Ford 101 plows 14" or 16"

There maybe more sets of 3 plows out there for sale, you can always take the center plow off an reconnect plow 1 and 3 back together, giving you a set of two plows with spare parts,

If you go this route, most folks do take the center plow off,

Thanks, I'm finding most don't have coulters. Do you know if coulters are interchangeable? I found new ones at 170 each plus shipping. Tractorhouse has an Oliver 514a for 700 plus shipping. Looks refurbished with coulters. Local a Dearborn 10-1 without coulters for 225. I'll go with the Dearborn although parts are hard to find. I have hard clay but no rocks. Only doing gardens. Even without coulters should be ok behind my 3600.

It is the brackets that are not interchangable, not the coulters or shanks. It is the way the bracket bolts on the beams. And a prior model Dearborn has the blacksmith sharpen shares. And used coulters are not that hard to find. Implement parting place at North Hampton, Ohio has had loads of them from the 4 bottom and up plows they have parted out. That Dearborn is also small clearance. For that to get it to work you would need the Yetter concave dist blade type of coulter because of the trash.

For that tractor some will say it should handle a 3 bottom, in light soil and 12" bottoms yes but not in heavy soil. Look for a 14" or 16" bottom in a 2 bottom plow and yes make sure it has good coulters.

...just to add ...I believe Oliver made the best plowing and easiest pulling mounted plows and easy to add a bottom if you wanted later. Don't know what number they were called but made in the '60,s and had trip realease shanks to fold back if hitting a rock. Stay with 2-16,s.
