I was looking at the "Implements for Sale" and begin to wonder if every time these guys find one of those tow type plows in the weeds behind someone�s barn do they think they've found a way to put their kids through college.
I well understand a mans right to ask whatever he wants for what he has but these things can nearly be gotten for asking at dealers in this area. Local auctions do well to get a bid on them at all and are generally sold for scrape metal prices. Its not like they are rare or are antiques. Maybe they are just checking to see which hand will get full 1st.

Hey guys thanks for the comments. I certainly wasn�t questioning the use of moldboard plows but just the range of prices I�d noticed on sale items. I grew up with trailer plows and happen to like them but they are so cheap locally that I just wondered what some people had in mind when they priced them here. Granted many of those available locally are worn out but some are like new and they all go for about the same prices. If you are going to use it for a lawn ornament I suppose it makes no difference.

Every location is different.

Around here, a 1,2, or 3 bottom plow will sell for $200 - 700.

You can buy a dozen JD 145 semi-mount (or similar from other colors) 4-5 bottom plows for $100 each.

Hey Paul,

The more I delve back into this farming thing, the more I'm a believer in the derned plow.

Just learned tonight that alfalfa on alfalfa is a no-no fer at least a year. Sure, everyone knows that.

UNLESS, it is planted in behind a plowed down crop. Then, the wait is only for one month.

I like plows! :>)

I live in a 40 mile nitche of land that needs heavy tillage. Very wet springs, very cold winters, very deep snow, very little daylight sun, very deep frost, very heavy yellow clay subsoil about 120 feet deep.

For those that try notill, they find 'here' that it is June before the soil warms enough & dries enough to put the corn seed in the ground.

Many folks in other climates don't believe that, but a person or 2 reproves it every fw years around here.

Wish it weren't so, would love to save the fuel & time spent on tillage.

Bt, I do like plowing, other than the cost. :)

A lot of things don"t make sence. I looked at 2 row planters that were in poor condition for 5-8 hundred. Instead I bought a IH #56 4 row in very good condition for $400.00.

I also looked forever for a usable trailer plow with no luck until I spoted a McCormick no.16 in a scrap yard which I bought at scrap price. I put air in the tires and they have held for two months now, and I did have to buy new shins.

I have figured out not to buy from people who have stuff for sale but rather from thoses with stuff sitting around.

Well Bob, read the posts and you will see the problem. Unfortunately the "gotta have it now" crowd go throwing money at things and once the word gets around that some guy in the next county got a mint for his then every guy with a rusty piece of junk gets out his rattle can and marks up the price on his "restored" plow. Patience gets a good one eventually. I would say the $250 price quoted below is not much out of line for a quality implement.

To each his own bro Dave. When I have a task to do I don't want to wait till I can find what I need at a giveaway price. If I can wait all that long, I must not need it very badly, hence no need for the purchase.

Here in N. Texas, competetion for farming equipment is keen. In the county where I live, there are more "farms" than in any county in the USA. Tell you anything?

With a good operator they do the prettiest job of plowing. As good as a semi-mount and much better than a 3 pt

Just a few years ago I would have agreed with you, couldn't hardly give those plows away at an auction. It's a totally different story today, a plow that would only bring $5 a few years ago will now bring $150 or better. There are very few GOOD plows to be found, and no one is building them anymore. When it comes to trailer type plows, it is a sellers market, if you want to buy one, you will have to pay for it, and if you are lucky enough to find one that is ready to plow, no additional work needed, be prepared to shell out several hundred dollars.

Sort of depends on the plow, I have 3 I'd love to sell 2 of them but not going to give them away either. But I also don't think $200-250 is to much for one of them.
