I have a 2 bottom oliver trailer plow that we bought for our Farmall H. It has been in the weeds for years and I finally wannna get it out tomorrow and see what all it needs. The guy used it on his Case and he had it hooked up for up as well as down pressure. My question is, Do I need down pressure for this plow? I think that if I put a vent in it and just use up pressure I think that the plow would dig in itself? What do you guys think? Well I hope to be plowin up the garden with it next year! Thanks in advance!!!

I have several trip plows (2 Olivers) that I play with on occasion. I have found that a little time spent on the moldboards (9" grinder with a 100 grit sanding disc) saves a lot of aggrivation once in the field!

Some old-timers (I hope I'm too young?) would consider that a bit aggressive & might put scratches in the wrong direction...

The old way was to take a bucket of wood ashes & a gunny sack & rub a while. Polishes it up, but more work than your way.

I've only been around 40 some odd years, but I've never heard of a plow requiring down pressure. All this would amount to is picking up the wheels. I would guess someone may have had trouble getting it to go in the ground due to a combination of dull shares and hard ground. Likely, this plow does not have "throw-away" shares, and they need to be sharpened. This used to be done by local blacksmiths i.e. welder/torch guys, don't think of it as grinding an edge. I would think you wouldn't want to invest much for plowing a garden, and your biggest challenge would be getting the moldboards to scour if it's been outside for a long time. Bottom line is, single-acting cylinder should be fine.
