sshell 8 #1 Posted October 30, 2008 Hey gents, Picked up a 10" plow and had to try it out. I did not have a slot hitch on the GT-1142 so I stole the hitch and cable off my mortaly wounded 702 and presto works like a charm Here are a couple of pics. hope you all like them. I put a little weight on it to help out till I can get the adjuster freed up Not bad for $25 Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duff 206 #3 Posted October 30, 2008 Not bad for $25? Yeah, I'd say you got a great deal there! That looks like some good soil you got there! Micah, whatcha think? Duff :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rideawaysenior 25 #4 Posted October 30, 2008 Sshell, I picked up the same type of plow this year at the show in PA. Mine also needed to have some weight added to it to help is dig. I see the three point models from Brinley coming out with a factory added weight. I used a 312-H with the Eaton 1100 hydro to pull mine. It worked hard mostly because of the engine and trans combo but did the job well. I tried the last few passes with a C125 and you would not have known that the plow was even there. I've got a three acre plot down the street from me that I am farming next year and I decided to till it up and see the soil condition. I tell you it was fun. After I plowed, I broke the furrows with my D160 and the 50in tiller. It also did a fantastic job. If my Farmall H or JohnDeere B had feelings, I'd bet they would have been hurt LOL.

sshell 8 #5 Posted October 30, 2008 Thanks Gents. I used 6-12 tires on the back, all I had, and they hardly even spun at all. Old girl showed me a thing or two and never got tired. I have to admit that it was a blast :horseplay: The soil here is real good, original Kankakee river bottom area. My sons and nephew took a turn at it as well, can tell the differance between my 275lbs and there 100lbs here is another pic. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaineDad 85 #6 Posted October 30, 2008 Steve, That looks like great soil! Nice job on the plow. Those 6x12 tires are a big help when it comes to traction. Make sure the landslide is riding straight and nearly flat in the furrow to get maximum soil flip. Did you disc it after? Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I finished up at dark so I will disc Thursday when i get home from work. the 6-12's worked great, I thought they would be to narow, live and learn. I also picked up a spike tooth harrow and will try it out tomarow as well. I'll take more pics Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
