I think I need a bigger tractor

[JohnL48]

I couldn't resist. The disc and plow for 375.00 now wether the tractor will pull it is another story

Them bottom plows are awesome but it does take a hoss of a tractor to pull 'em.

Original owner said he pulled with a ford 9n without issue

Maybe. My New Holland 1920 won't pull one though. 31 hp I think. Stands it up in the front.

Yeah. I have my doubts but couldn't pass up the price

I pull a 2 bottom (not set real deep....just enough to turn the dirt over) with my JD790 (roughly 30hp). I have course soil with very little clay and I know that helps. Good luck...... If I set it to go as deep as it can....it's like a parking brake!

They used to pull them with a horse. Sometimes two, so 2 horsepower ought to do it.

Don’t we all!

After I plowed my old Hay field the first time, the soil has stayed mellow enough to only need the disk each year. The oldest clover plot (3.5yrs) gets sprayed and just disked to switch to corn. Haven't used the plow (3-bottom) in 12 or 13 years.

The problem with sub compact tractors is not horse power, but can they hook up the power to the ground without spinning the wheels. With turf tires,I'd bet no.

Regardless, I wouldn't have passed it up.

I see an opportunity to buy a larger tractor !

You might be surprised that some older tractors can be reasonably priced. My 42 Farmall H would easily handle this equipment. I bought mine 25 years ago for a song. It does everything I need to do.

The Leinbach that made that plow is one of my relatives, so it's got to be a good one, just needs a little paint. But, like some of the others, I don't plow anymore. The weeds can be handled by other means

My mama told me that I talked too much, I guess I ain't out growed it !

Agreed! At that price I'd have picked it up regardless. I'm waiting on THE LLC to drop his asking price on that cultipacker he has on his farm.

Went up today to bring up my disc and cut the grass. I keep having overheating issues when cutting over an hr with the brush hog. On my 2nd new thermostat. Any suggestions ? Is it possible its too much for this tractor ? Kubota B1550

 

[Weasel]

No new tractor for me. I want to buy a seeder like this Kasco my buddy lent me and it costs almost what I paid for my tractor
