Planters, Grain Drills, Faulty Plows, oh my!

I have a Ford 641.
I want to plant soybeans, corn, and possibly wheat on 10 acres near my home.

Is a planter or grain drill better?
What are the pros and cons with a 1950s tractor with each?

I have a two-bottom plow. It's a Ford-Dearborn (I think) and is missing a coulter and a land.The other land is bent. I will be plowing sod.

Are lands essential?
Are coulters essential?

Thank you in advance for your tried and true reliable help!!!!

For 10 acres,your 641 is quite adequet.You will
need both drill and planter.Drill for
wheat,oats,barlet(grains).A planter for corn and
beans.Coulters in my opinion are not completely
nessasary,but do help to do a cleaner job.Not sure
what you mean by "lands"?You're gonna need a
disk,harrow,cultivators.....Once it is grown,how
will you harvest?

Ok. I will look into the drills and planters. Now, I have a John Deere LA with cultivators so that should be taken care of. I will look into a coulter...I would like a nicer job. The problem with buying those coutlers is only the actual disc part comes with it, and my newly-bought plow needs the whole apparatus.

The lands. Ok so my Grandfather inspected the plow and there is a length of a thick sheet of metal that runs along the base of the actual plow called the "land". It's purpose is to make the cut and bottom of your furrow straight and clean. The land that is off completely is the plow who will have the second plow's furrow ride over it. The second bottom's land, who's cut you'll be actually able to see is just bent.



In this photo you can see the piece of straight metal that is bolted on. That, my Grandfather says, is the land, which are bent and have broken on my plow. (That plow is not mine!! It's a stock photo lol!!)

Now, I don't have the capabilities to get harvest equipment, so we're looking at a local farmer doing it for us. Many 1,000+, 200 year old legacy farms are around our small piece of land 45 minutes from home, so I'm sure one of them will have the capabilities.

Does this all make sense?!?! Sometimes I make things to complex! Thank you in advance

Here's a clearer pic. Is what the arrows are pointing to not called the land?!?!?

This may be of help
Moldboard Plow Information

I call that the landside.Yes,they need to be
there.Maintains correct 'draft'.Only the rear is
long,all others are short.The landside helps keep
the plow straight behind,lack of(or worn out) the
plow pulls hard to the left.Correct adjustment(of
entire plow) is critical.
