Was wondering about the strengths and weaknesses of these plows as they are pretty rare in my neck of the woods. My main question would be if they are a decent plow in heavy corn stalks.

I think these were the same as 2600 only variable width. Plowed 10 years with these plows They plowed alot of cornstalks straight and did a good job. Very good plow Denny [Reply]  [No Email]

It is convertable from 18 to 20 inch bottoms. My buddy has a 4 bottom behind his 4020 with m&w turbo. That is the best plowing plow I have ever used. I tend to agree that jd plow and heavy corn stalks don't mix, but the 2600 plow is the exception. I have only ever plugged it up once, but it lifts so high that the stuff falls out the bottom. If you are in the market for a plow, buy that one. You won't be dissapointed! Tim [Reply]  [No Email]

So many JD pulled 720 IH plows. For better results, get a White 548. Less maintenance, better furrow. I've run both at the same time, hands down, the White lays a better furrow. I could drive by my fields while the kids were plowing, and tell which plow was where. JD never had much for tillage equipment. [Reply]  [No Email]
