I have been looking for a good 3 bottom pull plow.
I have found three plows all in good shape same price. John deere 3- 14s model 555, case 3-16 no model number, International 3-16 model 60. What plow is better? Any ideas? Scotty

Never plowed with a JD.
Case sucks.
The IHC #60 is a good plow.

I say the John Deere, that is the latest model made and a lot of the parts are the same for the 145 series 4-5 bottom semi mount and it should have the throw away shares and trip beams and they hold the ground as good or better than most other brands with all kinds of parts avaible, IHC depends on bottom if parts are avaible and does it have trip bottoms? Case would be probably blacksmith sharpen shares and no trip bottom and older, Around here anything Case forget it, no parts or service

All are decent plows in my opinion, if you have brand bias go with your favorite. Otherwise first scratch off your list any that do not have throwaway shares as they are generaly not availible or very expensive. Then check the wear parts and go with the one(s) in the best condition, even if the MFg has discontinued service parts throwaway type shares are very easy to adapt to differing frogs, just drill holes in the correct places. Then given the choice of trip or hydraulic go the hydraulic route. If your not yet down to one plow go with the best rubber. I am heavily Allis biased but own plows of many Mfg and truthfully find little differance in power requirements or the work done by properly adjusted plows.

Of those 3, I think I'd vote for the IH.

Condition is everything. Hard to beat an IH plow-plus parts are very available & less expensive.

I would go for the Deere, parts are easy to get. Not sure about the others. Deere made a decent plow too.

Is the Case on hydraulic? And does it have box beams or the old curved ones? If the Case has factory hydraulic it would be a very good plow provided it is in good shape they are heavy made and work nicely. The others should be good plows as well. The Deere 555 is a lighter duty plow but they work fine as well. One thing about the 555 is you can problably still get plow bottom parts from Deere. I admit to being biast as I am a Case man pretty near all the way ;>) R Wyler

Don't know which is better but I would think parts for the JD would be easy to get but not sure about the other 2

I would get the deere, or look for a set of olivers. Deere and oliver made the BEST plows.

I've always heard around here in our black gumbo Oliver and IH pulled best, MM pulled hard but did a nice job and JD, Case and Allis were all right but pulled hard. I'd go with IH if you've got enough tractor for the 3 16's.

Nobody will agree with me but we had all JD plows growing up and they all pulled sidewise on a hard pull. I liked the neighbors IH a lot better and later pulled a Case that pulled nice too.
