I saw the thing on Friday afternoon and I called them today to go get it, but someone bought it on Saturday. I had prior commitment otherwise I would have bought it. It had straight steel, two coulters, and so on. It was a real peach.   [Reply]  [No Email]

It teamed perfectly with my 52 8N. Of course, I live on a sand hill so did not encounter any clay but it pulled really well. I even experimented and was successful in plowing in 4th gear. Not that I recommend it but I just tore through that weed patch I was plowing up.   [Reply]  [No Email]

You have to consider engine power: worn out or fresh rebuild. Traction: loaded tires with little wear or smooth empty tires (or no weights). Soil type: sand, sandy loam, clay. And moisture content: Clay turns easier with some (but not too much) moisture.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I break up the soil,then disc until I get a good soft,and clean bed. lha   [Reply]  [No Email]

Most of the time in 2nd but sometimes I get into 3rd in really lite soil conditions. Rick   [Reply]  [No Email]

Also, I don't have to use the 8n to break the ground the first time. This would be for a garden. On the plow model I gave, I thought that combination of number showed it to be a 2-14. If not, when I go to pay for it, how then do I measure it to be sure of the size?   [Reply]  [No Email]

In my area an 8N would not handle a 2-16 shoot it is all my 841 wants to pull it. Now if it is say a 2-12 yes it may do ok if your soil is not like it is in this part of Missouri where you have 95% clay if you have soil or you have lots of rocks   [Reply]  [No Email]
