I bought a '59 Farmall 240 and am looking for a plow to use with it. I have a small garden area I would like to plow, it is currently pasture. What type of plow should I be looking for?
Any advise is welcome.

Thanks
Thud

If you're talking small I would say a middle buster, unless you just want the expense of more equipment.
If you don't have clay ground you can tear it up like last years sow's bed, and when you get used to it you can hill up your rows good with the middlebuster.

Ok, What is a Middlebuster? does it have a Fast hitch hookup? The 240 Farmall has a 2point fast hitch. The ground I want to plow and plant does have clay, but it also has some good topsoil,
for Georgia anyway.

The middle buster is a single breaking plow. If you've been around where someone is pulling a ditch to bury a water line or something simular, they probly were using a middle buster. Some folks use it to dig taters. I have a single and a double middlebuster, I like to use the double to tear up a spot that's too small to use a turning plow. You can also change the points and use the double for a lay off plow hiller and also as a cultivator. If you could find an old set of disc it would be wonderful to disc after you plow, but it's not mandantory.
You can put them onto a quick hitch hook up just fine.
At equipment auctions around here they usually go for about $50-$75 for a good used one. A brand new is usually bour $150. A small disc brings $200 or so used and a new disc is about $600.

Thanks for the information, I have seen what they
call potatoe plows, and that might do the trick.
I do have a Harrow that i can use after.

Awright, if you have a harrow already, you're almost there. Let me know how the maters and green onions come along. Merry Christmas and hope you have the best of luck with the new garden.
