Found this pic while surfing the net. Big ol monster must need a hugh rig to pull it along. I thought the common consensus now was no-till. This monster would remove hard pan and all in one pass it looks like. Second trip around the field and you may be down into molten rock. I am guessing depth at around 50".

Just curious.

Especially Hugh and Father Earth. I have now learned yet another interesting aspect of land development. I always assumed that land clearing of that magnitude was done a century ago or in current day done with a dozer. I can say this - when I saw the size of this plow I was in AWE and could only imagine the rig used to pull it!

To all the rest, thanks for the history lesson on the ETD. It must have really been something to see that rig in action! I can only relish in your memories. Thanks for continuing to share the ETD heritage with us that have not have the fortune to experience it first hand!! Grins from FL :)

PS - I have looked all over the internet for pics of the ETD. I guess due to the sensitive nature of it and potential for US domination of the world's agricultural economy the collectivist gobment and multi-national cyber police have removed all references. Should I happen across a pic in a remote place I will be sure to share ;)

Hope the owner keeps it in the family. The grandchildren can use it to break up the subdivisions and parking lots across America when the good land is all gone. Probably pull it with a pick-up if the HP continues to grow each year since diesels were introduced into the farm fleets.
Looks like a Keeper!!!

Saw one down in the trees not to far from here. Soon as I get the Catagory 27 3 point mounted on my '47 JD B I'm gonna pull it out.

Shep: What you have there is a breaking plow, designed for plowing new land with a lot of trash on surface. Plow probably only plows 12-18 inches deep. The clearence is for plowing down bushes and small trees. It takes huge clearence to keep this material flowing through plow beams.

The plow is 3 point, One of the 300 hp articulated tractors or crawlers. I have pulled a two bottom version with two wheel drive 1066. It cut a 24" furrow and plowed about 12" deep. Like I said before clearence looks monsterous, it takes that to handle trash. Kind of like plowing corn stalks with 16" bottoms.

We use 'em out here to warm up for tractor pulls. That is if you own a "Red" one.

Neighbor used to have one. Did a great job plowing two feet deep. Used to pull it behind a 1550 Oliver but his kid got it in to road gear one day and totally destroyed the plow.

That is no plow! That is the right gang for a cultivator for an Essex Tri Directional! The left and two centers as well as the front gangs are missing. Probably salvaged for use in heavy construction or as metal for tanks or artillary barrels durring the War.

I think that was for the Hi Crop Vegetable Special ETD, wasn't it? Looks a little light in it's loafers for the Row Crop version.

I think you and CJ are both right! It's good to see real tractor historians contributing to the general knowledge which benefits all of us.

My neighbors have a new (nearly) John Deere plow built virtually identicalto this. It operates as a "two way" and can do so because of the shape of the shares and moldboards. They go through one way and while they are turning at the end, the hydraulics are mocing everything to the opposite direction and they return down the same furrow. They pull it with an 8200 JD Mfwd. Does a nice job.
