All happy and go lucky smiling with the B pulling the 2 Furrow Oliver 100 plow in an old garden patch that I was hired out to do. The old B sure does good on small plots like this, easy to maneuver and get around with. Fine and dandy until I hit the section that was thick with wire grass and that stuff stopped me dead. Good lord that stuff is tuff to break open, those roots run deep and thick!
Need to mount up the Plow that Brett is snagging for me to go back and finish. Hopefully that will do the trick!

I plowed the garden with a 700 Versatile and a three bottom plow one time, my friends thought I was nuts. lol The next year I used a 1206 IHC and the same three bottom plow. I use what I had in the lot for sale. LMAO

I have all the weight on it I have (Front/Rear), weighs in at 2500 lbs. I need to load up the tires next :-)
Well I think the plow is a bit much for it in the hard stuff. I wish I had the D-17 done

Sod busting w/ a B can be a lot of fun, even if you are using the mounted plow and lots of weight. What makes it even more fun is doing it with a hand lift plow, and hand brakes! BTDT LOL

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance. Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise. |

I'll see your wire grass and raise you a field full of 2" sumac: It's hard to see here, but it was everywhere! No fluid, and no weights other than the heavy steel wheel centers and the 1000 lb Athens disc plow. Edited by BrettPhillips - 08 Mar 2012 at 11:55am |

Ah, the things I have to look forward to! Charlie175, let us know how the mounted plow works out. I haven't plowed with my B yet but I'm afraid I'll have to add some weight... hopefully the Minneapolis Moline wheel weights we have sitting around will fit.

I was turning our garden plot with a little Cub Cadet garden tractor and a single-twelve Brinley... the 109 features a very healthy 12hp, 23x10.50-12's full of fluid, Titan ag-tread tires full of propylene glycol, and two 40lb iron weights on each wheel. We'd just purchased the place, and the garden had been let go for about 15 years. Amidst that task, I found a trumpeter vine, an old log chain, two pieces of abandoned 10' satellite dish wire, a dog cable, and a cedar stump. The trumpeter vine was the worst...
