Hi all,
I've been looking for a 4-5 furrow trail plow to pull with my Massey 555 in my area for some time (very loose sandy soil, flat ground, so I think the 555 would handle 5 just fine). Nothing's come up yet, but someone not far away is selling a Massey 880 trail plow: six furrows, with a two-furrow extension to make 8 furrows.
I haven't looked at it yet, but I'm wondering if there's anything holding me back from shortening it to 4/5 furrows without compromising the ability to add the others back on without significant modifications if I want to use it to do some legitimate land-breaking with a larger tractor.
Obviously getting it down to 6 is no problem, but not sure if the modifications to get it to 4/5 would mean some cutting/re-welding to get it to pull properly. I've only ever used semi/full mount plows before, so don't know what might have to be changed to get it tracking right. I'm thinking the 4/5 furrow would be ideal for having fun with the Massey, and the 8 would certainly help me break up land faster for the odd time I need to.
Thanks,
Daniel
