[AT] Moldboard plow w/ a PTO?????

[Danny Tabor]

     A terracing plow makes sense. I've never seen
such a thing, so you can imagine my thoughts at first
glance seeing a PTO coming out the front of it.
     I know it was much to large to be for Gravely but
I'd like to see one of those too.
      I do wish I went on and bid it up a little
higher bur as auctions go...who knows where it would
have stopped. It did go high enough that I'm certain
the scrap pile is not in in its future.
       Thanks again for the responses.
