Which plow JD F145 4-16 or AC model 2000 4-16 would be a better plow for my JD 3020 in sandy soil. Will one perform better in cornstalk trash. To be honest I have not been hearing a lot of great things about JD plows -- am I getting bad advice?

Thanks for any advice

IH 710 would be the way to go. Much better clearance for plowing corn stalks. Should be able to find a good 710 4-16's for $500 to $1000. Will plow circles around either of the plows you mentioned.

I prefer hooking John Deere attachments to John Deere tractors, but a John Deere plow wouldn't be my first choice plowing corn stalks under, at least the ones made in the late sixties that I plowed with, not enough clearance. It's really a pain in the a$$ to have the back two plows plugged up every 100 yards or so. We used Oliver and White plows later on and they seemed to work better for that application. I wouldn't go as far as to say that Deere plows are generally inferior to the other brands, that's a pretty strong statement. John Deere plows sure do pull good.HJ

I agree with TP on the Deere plow The best is IH than Ford, White, Oliver & Case ( they were made by the same Co. at one time

Don't let some fool tell you a John Deere is a poor plow. John Deere is the best plow! The F145 is made to work with your 3020. It will also look right. AC and IH had a vary poor plow. Oliver and Case are good.

I have used JD, Case, Oliver, and IH plows and have always rated IH and Oliver tied for first, Case coming in second, and JD bringing up the rear. I have never used A/C plows so I can't comment on them. I never could get a set of JD plows to do a decent job and they always seemed to plug up in corn stubble. We currently have a 3-14" IH #60 trailer plow and a 4-14" #540 IH semi mounted plow. Both plow exceptionally nice and leave a nice level field when you are done. I would look for a set of 4-16 IH 540's, seems they sell cheap anymore. Everyone is pulling out the chisel instead of the plow now days.

Heck, if you really got the $$$ to spend go for a set of IH 700 4-16 Automatics! Talk about a nice plow!

The 540 International plows are good plows, I have also plowed with a 145 5-16 and I thought it did a great job of plowing, but the International I think plugged up less in corn stalks
