[AJD] Plow

[Dean VP]

Duane:

I cannot think of any reason why a reasonably good running JD R would not
comfortably pull a 3 x 16" plow in any of the soil conditions you describe.
A JD plow would be nicer to have though. 

The advantage of the JD R over any I/H tractor would be that you could also
drop the plow into the ground too!  :-)

Been keeping my eyes open for a plow to go behind my R. Was looking for a
3-14, as the ground around here is mostly pretty heavy clay and what my
grandfather called "black gumbo." Ran across a 3-16 IH plow that is priced
fairly reasonable and does not appear to be worn out. Would this be too much
plow in the soil conditions here? I know that the R is rated at 4 or 5
fourteen inch bottoms, but that is really optimistic, at least in this part
of the country.

Thanks,

Duane
