Lot of difference between a rollover then a mounted or semi mounted Most and again i say most I H plows were based on a three bottom BUT there were a couple that were made as a four bottom and that is what your stuck with as if you try and drop a bottom they will Draft sideways . Just about like a five bottom onland plum sucks but the same plow in a 6-8 bottom is better and pulls easier . If you can handle five in the furrow then you can handle 6 onland just as easy if not easier at the same gear with better ground speed. Like when i first started farming on my own i had a Farmall 450 D and bought a set of 311 's in 3x14 while my buddy had a set of 540in 4x14's semi mounts with a harrow mounted on the plow . Both of us in the same field and me pulling one less bottom i should have walked all over him , not so we were both in third gear and i could not gain on him . One day i hooked to his plow just to see if my 450 had what his had the 540's pulled that much easier that i could pull the 4 bottoms in the same gear at the same depth as i was pulling the three bottom mounted . The 311's took a ride and i found a set of 540's with super chef bottoms where his plow had the Plow Chef bottoms adde a harrow and we cut our disking down to dead furrows and head lands for corn ground. Never went back to a mounted plow after that.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family’s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w ... [Read Article]
