New lathes, shins and boards for this guy on the way.

Sure hope that 5488 will pull it. :>)

Lathe? :?: :?:

Shares for you young guys. :>)

Must be a regional thing. Because they were shares here long before you were born.

Brown Swiss · Mar 11, 2015

Darn people, they put the model number on upside down! LOL

pete 23 · Mar 11, 2015

To me it's a plow lay or share.

wilamayb · Mar 11, 2015

Shares is actually a fairly old word. The 1611 KJV Bible uses it. Maybe shares is for the older crowd rather than the younger

fixerupper · Mar 11, 2015

We've called them lays for as long as I remember.

We did not have any plows like that in our area when I was a kid. I did see pictures of them, I just could not see what they were for. Packing all that steel in the air just did not compute.

What's the chain for? To keep it from flipping while in transport? Thanks, True Son

Didn't the 5488 get a rebuild too??

That square tube is the hitch for pulling a packer if need be. The chain helps even up the drift from the pulling a packer by basically making it a two point hitch.

vscummins · Mar 12, 2015

Do you pull the packer with a chain or how does roll over

olddog · Mar 12, 2015

It's so they won't get lost. Out where Alan is, they start out in the morning, go east 7 miles, turn around and drop in the same furrow and follow it back to the house for lunch. Repeat after lunch. wink.wink

You have it backwards. Always west in AM and East in PM or the sun is in your eyes both ways, LOL.

Alan: How many acres on average do you get on a set of shares? We sold some Oliver roll over plows and those guys got a lot more acres on a set than what the people who owner regular plows did.

Anonymous-0 · Mar 12, 2015

Yeah! we had a garden aboot that size, until we made it bigger.

Mike M · Mar 12, 2015

Is that the same as plow points ? I think most call them that around here.

Allan in NE · Mar 12, 2015

Yeah, because the bottoms are only working half the time.

Dunno, I measure 'em in "years". Run the silly things down until they are "nubs". :>)

Gonna run 'er across 170 acres this year if all goes according to plan, as the weeds are really getting out of hand.

Allan in NE · Mar 12, 2015

Yep,

Gonna go check on that thing this morning. Had a bad planetary and trackin' down parts, the last I heard.

I'm sure it will pull it. The real question is how much weight will you need on the front of the tractor to hold it down.

Paul

Allan in NE · Mar 12, 2015

Ain't that the truth!

Got room for 2K lbs out front, but think 1K will do the trick.

Before I started this project, was thinking about asking my neighbor if he'd sell the eight bottom. I just don't like those silly dead furrows though.

Allan

DeltaRed · Mar 12, 2015

I have the same plow on my 1256. 1000 pounds is plenty.

chuck from neb · Mar 12, 2015

Pulled a Deere 4 bottom rollover with a4320 no problems ....but had 1000 pounds front weights
