My dad started farming with an IH BN tractor with a 1 bottom trail plow.
Never heard much about it except that it was hard to finish out a land
with only 1 bottom. This was in 1945 or 46 (before I was born). I don't
know how much wear was on it because by 1950 he had traded for a C with
a mounted 2-12" plow. Not the best plow as it pulled from the middle of
the tractor. The beam went from the rear forward under the tractor and
attached to a bracket bolted to the bellhousing and to the torque tube.
Because it pulled from so far forward it kept pulling the front of the
tractor to the right. In fact, we still have 2 or 3 old brake bands
hanging in the old shed that he wore out trying to keep the tractor
straight.
