[AT] Unusual 2-way J.D. moldboard plow

[charlie hill]

I've seen plows like that.   It's just two left hand plows and 2 right hand 
plows mounted side by side on a wheel frame.
Drop one set going one way, turn around and drop the other set going back. 
The ones I've seen were only 1 bottom each
way but it must be about the same, just bigger and heavier.

It sure would make a nice museum piece!

Attention Dean & Other JD enthusiasts:
Show-Me Auction Co., Stover, MO has Edzards Estate Auction tomorrow, June 
29.   A huge collection of mostly no longer operatonal tractors, cars, 
trucks, and much farm equipment including a trailer type 2 bottom 2-way plow 
that “has John Deere stamped on main frame member” according to one of 
auction companies principals.  This implement has an estimated thousand lbs 
of extra framing, etc to accommodate the unusual method of operation of 
operating.   Instead of the normal roll-over method of operating, these two 
plows set alongside each other, and alternate dropping into the ground. 
Hope its future is in a stateside museum.  Herb
