I've never seen a plow like that in person here in Alabama. Yea, we are rednecks down here and behind the times.

Was wondering how the heck it works. What flips it? Hudraulics?

Would love to see some pictures when you use it.

Hi Jerry,

Yes, it is turned by one hydraulic cylinder setting up front between the hitch of the plow and the frame.

I got 'er married to the tractor tonight and spun it a couple of times just to make sure it worked, but it was too dark to take any pictures. Had to swap it over from CAT III to CAT II (prior owner pulled it with a 160 horse JD)and had to change the cylinder from John Deere fittings to IH.

It sure looks a lot smaller since it is mounted; kind of an optical illusion thing going on, I guess.

I'll go out there in the morning and take a sequence of shots from behind so that you can see 'er turn over on her back. :>)

It is the only kind of plow I've ever known other than the old tumble plows. They work kinda like a hydro-swing swather only in a 'plow' version swapping top for bottom instead of side to side. :>)

Thanks for the hollar,

Allan

I'm a small kind of hobby farmer but I readily see the benefit of these type plows. The smaller the area you need to plow, the bigger headaches you have trying to do it conventionally.

I think I would like to have one but doubt they come in 3 X 14. That's about all my MF255 could pull comfortably in this hard soil here.

I really like the looks of the plow.

Hi Jerry,

Like Roy says, they come in all sizes and all makes. Out here in the irrigated country, these things are layin' around all over the place and can be had at farm sales for as little as $150 for the smaller ones.

Even on larger acreages, they are just a killer plow. There is no wasted time; out of the ground around and right back in.

Allan

I don"t know as I am in UK but here you can get them in all sizes, 2X12 up to well, whatever you like really 7 plows + and 20" cut if you want
Kverneland is the plow maker that is most repected here. I had a 3 furrow that you could adjust the plow bodies / angle of the beam to take a 12,14 or 16 inch furrow. You would love it in hard soil because the bodies that are "up in the air" act as weights.

Have a little browse around that site. It might give you an indication of what's going on in Europe where plows are concerned.

At a local flea market a couple of weeks ago a fellow had a Allis Chalmers 2 bottom 2 way plow for sale. Nice looking little unit, although my simple mind couldn't figure how the thing turned over. No hydraulics...just a chain system.
