I am starting to look for a 3-16 or 4-14 trailer plow, and I would like to know what kind to get, but I haven't seen many work. In the past, two conditions have made it really hard for me to plow: hard ground so the plow won't go in; and heavy matter, so the plow plugs. I had an Oliver 3-16 trailer plow that I tried to plow heavy canary grass sod with, and it plugged so badly I could barely make a plow length before it was stuffed full again. I went to the same field with a newer John Deere 5-16 semi mounted (reset version of a 145) and it plowed fine--no plugging. The angle of the frame on the newer plow is steeper, so the bottoms are farther apart. I have a 2-16 Oliver plow for my A, and last summer it would not go in the ground, while the 5-16 trailer plow behind the 80 did. So......
I would like to hear people's opinions on
1) What make or model of plow goes in hard ground the best?
2) What make or model of plow has the most clearance between its bottoms?
Keep in mind this is a 3-16 or a 4-14 trailer plow. I will be pulling it behind a D.
Thanks everyone.
