The area I started farming was the kind of soil that you could pull a plow out of a fence row and two rounds latter it was shined up like a new one. The farm I own now you better have the bottoms better than yours before you even drive past the field you want to plow.LOL I rarely plow anymore but your pics make want to do some. Thanks for posting. Tom
 
This clay does a pretty nice job of shining up the plow bottoms but this plow hasn?t plowed in 20 years and that was to cut a fire break and it sat In an stack yard for a long time before that
 
Might look like chrome,but that is just steel. Usually three different layers, wear resistant,tough to with stand rocks or other shock loads, forgot the third.
 
You need to go down to the dollar store and get a can of cheap spray paint so you still have some polish on them in 20 years for the next fire break.
 
I use graphite paint on moldboards. It loves to stick to rust. I have plowed sticky gumbo, it slips right off the graphite. By the time it wears off the moldboards are shined up.
 
Still got about 5 more acres to plow then I use paint
from bomgarrs made to scour off easily and I?ll paint
them . I don?t do much one way plowing anymore
but I really wanted to shine this one up it?s kind of
my antique it looks pretty good on the 3020

I use the paint made for plow bottoms not sure what it is but I painted some moldboards last January in 18 degree weather and it stuck . It polishes off in about 10 feet in though
 
This was the last time I plowed taken on 2015 I only plow every 5 years or more here these days,, used to plow every spring,, as you can see my ground shines them up so you can shave in them lol this field had gotten packed down hard by running cattle in it so i had to loosen her up,, the 60 acres is in strips now days along with the rest of the 120 acre field I took these in

Only if it was a special display model. It would not hold up in use and would be so expencive the plow could have never been bought new.
