A 2000 is a great plow but an Oliver will pull even easier and throw a level field like no other plow........ well that's my opinion anyhow.
Hmmmm BTW, not trying to take anything away from the post. A 2000 is still a great plow and that 185 makes it just that much better.

I've never plowed with an Oliver bigger than a 2 bottom, but based on my experiences with it and from what I've heard other guys say about the big ones, I couldn't agree with you more! Never heard a bad comment on an Oliver plow.

It is rediculously loud, you can't run it without ear protection. I am seriously considering taking it back off and putting the muffler back on. A xt with a turbo and straight pipes is much quieter compared to my 185.

Always heard nothing but praise for an Oliver. Very long time ago when we had "big tractor" problems, dad got a 3-14 oliver trailer plow so the smaller tractor could pull it. But things got fixed and we have NEVER pulled it. I got a Ford last fall, which some said was an Oliver design. I was excited to give it a try. Well, you can't get parts for it, and the hitch is sprung, so no joy. I really only bought it for the coulters though, so getting 3 like new coulters and one used one for $125 wasn't a bad deal.

Great pictures. Looks like you have a nice tractor and plow. I like the dual too. I found a set of duals for my 185, but haven't tried putting them on yet.

Thanks for your thoughts on the straight pipe. Everyone keeps talking the Oliver plow,but IMO,the WHITE predecessor (508), would be hard to beat and their parts should be easier to obtain than ALLIS plows?

Good looking tractor and plow. Looks like you're doing a good job to me. Nice flat field and good soil too. I don't blame you about the muffler, I hate a loud tractor, motorcycle, car, or anything else as far as that goes.

Ranse you definitely would not like an XT lol. A beautiful sound to me from the 301 turbo coming out that straight pipe....just like my Harley. Some like them quiet, others like the sound of sweet music.

Great pictures! Thanks! You old "plow operators" like me know that there's nothing like the smell of freshly plowed soil. I've told other people this, and they look at me like I'm crazy?!? And if your lights work, plowing after dark with that cherry red WD-45 muffler ... kinda like a little piece of heaven on earth.

Thanks for the pictures. You are doing a beautiful job with beautiful machinery.Takes me back to 1992 when I got the opportunity to start my own part time operation with a 180 diesel and a 4 bottom Ford plow with a packer. That 180 turned me on to Allis, it was all I could afford at the time and was a great tractor. I have been no tilling for a while now really miss the smell of the fresh soil as others have mentioned.

AC720Man, if there is on way to quieten an XT down then you are probably right. We had a guy in are bass club that had a Mercury outboard on his boat so loud I don't see how he ever caught a fish. Harleys make a wonderful sound, I can't understand why most people ruin it by installing loud pipes. It ain't music to me, but like you said, that's the difference in people.

A turbo does muffle a lot of noise so you can straight pipe a turbo engine but not a NA engine. Now you will just have to find an xt to fit your pipe.
