Rex: What size of tractor are you going to use? Those spring cushion in the pull beam do a good job with the SC, 200 and 230, as they will give good protection for the traction and power at hand. Not sure this would still be the case with a 300, 350, etc. or larger tractor. Also unless you are getting into a lot of higher speed plowing , I'm not sure you will be pleased with Plow Chief or Super Chief bottoms with trip beams. They were engineered for higher speeds, thus don't plow as well as the older Ace and General Purpose bottoms in garden or small plot situation where speeds are often slower. The old Ace bottoms do a great job with most tractors in first gear, but they don't stand up to speed very well. Even spring trip hitches on trailer plows or the cushion spring didn't protect them very well if speed was involved. I have broken the end off an Ace plow point with Super A in 1st gear, on a 2x12 plow. A lot depends on your plans, if you are doing less than 5 acres per year plowing I would stick with the older plows. If I were going to plow 10, 20 or 50 acres per year I would head right for the Super Chief with trip beams. The Plow Chief in my opinion should have been forgotten. They have a reputation of coming loose and falling apart.

I started my farming days with a Little Genius No.8 with 2x14 Ace bottoms, I have had 3 Ace bottom 2x12 SA, 130 type plows, a No 60 trailer 4x16 with Plow Chief bottoms, a No 60 - 3x16, a No 60 - 4x16 and a 510 semi-mount 5x16 all the last three were Super Chief bottoms. That No 60 with Plow Chief bottoms didn't stay around very long. It kept falling apart and you know where the parts end up.

I find here in Canada the very best source for plow bottom and coulter parts is TSC stores. You have a part and get the number from it, they can get it in days. I always take the old part with me. I may have a bit better situation than some as the manager here is an old IH parts guy. That does help.
