What is a good sized plow for the 170-175? AC 2000 monframe or similar? We have tougher soil thru this area.Thanks, Tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

| I run a 2 bottom 3 point Allis of the generation before the monoframe. Started life as a 3 bottom but it was too much for it when fighting rocks in old pasture ground. |

I wouldn't put anything bigger than a 3 bottom 16" on it, particularly in hilly terrain. We had a D-19 with a semi mounted 4 bottom, it would pull it, but it was always burying itself in swales, or coming partially out on the crown areas... As luck would have it, I happen to have a 3 point Allis 16" setup plow, 70 series, I believe, for sale, here in MD. PM me for details, if you are interested... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee.

| A "Monoframe" plow places its front bottom almost in the same place as a fully mounted 3-bottom plows rear bottom is located. Length is your enemy for how difficult it pulls. 3 x 16's in a mono design would work, but you NEED good rear tires full of fluid (minimum), probably 400-500 lbs on the nose and a working Traction Booster system. Second gear or third gear on the low side. |
