2240 JD problem while plowing

Posted by MarkinMo on October 30, 2005 at 16:42:19 from (69.19.14.34):

Yesterday I was plowing with a 3 bottom Dearborn plow using my JD 2240 MFWD tractor. Once when I raised the plow out of the ground at the end of the field the shaft where the left lower lift arm pivots from broke completely off. I"ve ordered a new one from ytmag parts but am wondering if this tractor is big enough for what I"m trying to do or if the shaft had been stressed or cracked previously. Anyone ever broke one of these before? Any opinions on whether or not a 2240 should be able to handle a 3 bottom, 16" plow?
