I'd like to till some land. I have an AC D-14 which runs great. What size of plow could it handle? Also how are the lift arms used? I know how a 3 point hitch system works, but what about the set-up on the D-14? Can it lift a plow? (I'm obviously new to this)

D14 is a good match for a 2-16 plow in most soils. Lighter soils you might pull 3-14 mounted, but the tractor is light, and rear wheels are only 26". Snap-Coupler plow fits, not hard to find for 100-200 dollars.

Thanks. Ok, now to really display my ignorance. I will visit an implement yard soon and see more firsthand, but what do the designations mean? 2-16, 3-24? I've seen some disc type with 6 or so rows. Some are point type, some look spring loaded. I need to turn previously tilled good black soil that has overgrown for a year and will be mowed first. Do appreciate the help.

2-16 and 3-14, etc. refer to MOLDBOARD, not disc plows. First number is how many bottoms, or moldboards, it has, second number is the width of cut in inches, of each bottom. Multiply them to get total cutting width of a plow. Disc plows cut fewer inches per disc, so a WD45 Allis that normally runs a 3-16 moldboard will run a 4-disc plow. Each disc cuts about 12 inches.

I don't know much about AC, but if you search for 'snap coupler' I think that is what they called their version. You would want an AC plow; or convert your tractor to 3-point - or get a trailing type on wheels.

Thanks. The snap coupler itself with hydraulics are all there and seem to work.. I want to see what the AC set-up will offer before considering a 3 pt. conversion (they're about $350 around here) plus I already have a pull type King Kutter.
