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.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
