Ray: I wouldn't cut those prongs trying to modify. That mounted plow will pull side ways a lot worse than trailer. If I were you and the age technology you are using, I would go for a rubber tired 3 x 14 trailer plow with hydraulic lift. Try and find one with trip bottoms as oposed to trip hitch. In most parts of North America they go for a song. There are lots people with Super C's, 200's and 230's would love to have that fast hitch plow. I will admit to some prejudice, I am big on trailer plows. I owned 4 of them in my lifetime; a No.8- 2x14, No 60- 3x16 and 2 No. 60- 4x16. I have also had 3- 1 point 2x12. and a 510- 5x16 semi-mount. If you wish to have high quality championship caliber plowing go trailer The semi-mounts will give trailers a hard run for quality. With the semi-mount you have the best of both. There were some IH 3 bottom semi-mounts built in their first models. I forget just how those model numbers ran. I think it was 530, 540, 550 and 560, being 3, 4, 5, and 6 bottom models I am currently looking for 1 of those 530 or 540. I intend to cut it down and make a two bottom, single point, fast hitch, semi- mount for my Farmall 130. My new neighbors around here have been encouraging me to get into antique championship plowing. I would like to do that. I spent last year looking over the competiton. Not satisfied that I as yet have the necessary equipment to make a respectable showing. The Farmall 130 being a 1957, I understand just comes of age this year to enter their competition.
