I have a 47 A and I am looking for a plow to work up some pasture grass and cleared out grove area. It hasn't been worked in decades I'm sure so the ground is very hard. I am going to install a 3pt on the tractor so this may expand my plow options. What should I be looking for? 2-16? 3-14? Pull type? 3PT? Model? Someone told me Ford has some good 2 bottom plows that hitch to the 3pt...any ideas? I need to go shopping!!!

Thanks!

If it were me doing this I would look for a 3-14 or 2-16 pull type plow. I plowed thousands of acres with a set up like that. When we converted to a 3-point on the old A and bought a 3-point plow, it just didn't work as well. Had to add a lot of weight to the front, tough spots would throw the tractor around, harder to plow at a consistent depth, etc. I think for your application a pull plow would make you much happier and will cost less also.

My two cents...

Depends on how heavy your ground is, but my 2-16's plowed real heavy in some CRP acres that I had to break for a food plot. It was an old Case trip lift, but once I got it set at least it plowed decent. I paid $40 for it, and have a 44 JD that I got for $35, so the older plows are still out there for good dollars.

Our ground in east central South Dakota is heavy, so the rest of you might be ok with a 3 bottom. My 50 A could probably do justice to a 3-14 in a nice stubble field...

Happy plowing!

Doc
