Hi LA, The ground there isn't to heavy, it has a fair amount of sand in it and is within half a mile of the Cedar river. "Muck" might have been to severe a description of it. The wheels left deep imprints without breaking the edge of the bar pattern when driven over while not plowing. The farm is a organic farm. Don't know what difference that makes but the man that owns it plows the clover down in a two year rotation for different fields. Seems to work for him.
I have the very old style bottoms on this particular plow. New landsides. Old shares (QA style). No way to get them sharpened so far. I think it pulls fairly easy. It looks like it trails OK. It leaves a clean furrow wall at about 6" depth. Only problem I had was the depth lever was all the way down and it was plowing at 6". That plow must be set up to plow very deep! Or the tires are to short. I'm not one to just drag an implement around and hope for the best. I'm trying for the best furrows possible.
About the 4 bottom. I gotta try it as soon as I get the belly pump rebuilt! It's a all hydraulic plow, not a conversion. It might not be a #8. but the beam #'s are the same I think , I'll have to double check that statement. I have to know for sure that It's to much. Then I'll have a reason to sell it. It has plow chief bottoms on it.
My tractor has a muffler but it sounds good and runs very good. This wasn't a lecture it was pretty helpful. Thanks for the reply! ...Randy

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
