Last week we were able to get all our plowing done with our two 8070s one with a 5 bottom and the other with a 6 bottom. Nothing funnier then plowing.

Does look like fun, one thing for sure, you shouldn't have had any shortage of power.

| Are you plowing now because you weren't able to finish before frost came,or is it normal to spring plow in your area.What type of soil is that ,conditions look excellent.What gear or what speed were you driving,how many acres would both tractors plow in a normal day.Are the tractors both powershift or power director.They look good. |

| Well we always spring plow and id say we are the only ones that plow anymore in this area. We have heavy clay here. The one 8070 is a power director which we go 4th gear low side and the other is 8070 power shift in 4th low gear which is about 5MPH. THe power director does not have rear weights like the power shift one. I suppose if you went all day you could plow 50 acres a day. This ground had not been plowed for two years since dad was sick and we rented it out. Looks like a garden now lol. Glad you guys like the pics |

Thanks for posting the pics. We never see plows like that in this country, those that plow use spinner (two way) plows to make irrigation easier.

The power shift has a little over 4000 hrs on it and the power director has 3900 hrs on it. Ya we are old school we still pick corn in the ear and shell it with a MM sheller. Michael i am going to Durand WI to get parts how far is it from you? Thanks for the comments i need to post pics of our 7030 disking bean stubble. Shameless they never plugged up once which is nice

| Shameless: If it is a later toggle trip (no springs on top) the normal reset procedure is to back up with the plow still in the ground. I have a 710 4 bottom toggle trip semi mount. Automatic resets (with springs) should automatically reset (obviously). The 710s and 720s were generally thought of as great plows. |

| THey would be 2000 Series. We just started looking for parts for ours since they are getting worn. We had a 2000 5 bottom that we used for some parts. I see shoup has some parts too. I might have to visit you Wisconsin boys and get some parts. Dad just bought a really nice 2000 series 4 bottom that i plan to put with my 8010 FWA next year. THe 8000 series is a very nice tractor to run. Hope to put more weight on the 8070 PD and add another bottom to it to make it a six bottom. |

| I see you have the buster bars on these units. They really make a nice addition to plows. I grew up plowing with a 7000 and 4 bottom 2000 plow and buster bar, it really breaks up the lumps and saves trips with a disk later. Nice machines, kind of jealous. |

Were white-wall car tires standard equipment on Allis plows? *grin* Our 4-16 9000 plow has a white-wall tail wheel also. Nice looking rigs. We're all no-till here, but there sure is something therapeutic about plowing - especially in a climate-controlled 8000 series with tunes on the radio! ------------- The innovators offer what others will imitate. |

| russ i just bought a 8010, is yours a powershift?? The one i just bought is a 1985, two years ago they split it becaue it would slowly move forward in neutral found some broke plates they spent over 7000 to get that fixd, Needs a new cab interior though. I know you really like urs |

Yes, powershift. A little under-powered for it's weight (or overweight/overbuilt), especially when you consider that new 110 hp tractors are 4-5000 lbs lighter. ------------- The innovators offer what others will imitate. |

You'll have to take the beams and trips apart. I had to on my 2000 Monoframe. They wouldn't trip at all. You should be able to, with the plow in transport, lift the toggle and trip the bottom by hand if all is free and working right. It was quite a job to do to take all apart. Required heat and a BFH. Then my front bottom tripped all the time but it just took adding a washer under the toggle spring to cure that. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

good looking tractor, and plow rigs, i have been looking for a good set of 4 bottom plows for my 6060, but the best i have come up with so far is a 3 bottom set of fergusons model 82 high clearance, hoping to come up with the bolt on forth, like your tractors this 3x16 set is just a lite workout for the allis  ------------- i like old tractors of all colors |
