Some may recall i recently bought a 300 rowcrop. Well i put her to the test today at a local plow day. Boy was i suprised! I had it hooked to my 3-14s JD pull type, and if i was a betting man, my wallet would be bigger tonight. Something must be done to the engine is this tractor because it handled that plow well in hard corn ground 6-7 inches deep. Yes i was in 2nd gear all day but its a factory TA delete. That being said a couple times i did wish i had a TA, on the end rows where the grain cart drove mainly. But i lapped a 60 and a 620 JD, one had a two bottom and the other had a three bottom. Both those old boys said they would get out the way for the 300 beings i was having to stop and wait for them. I will say that my plow is an easy pulling one, but i have it set right and have new wear parts on it. Also set the tractor up by the book, but i could have used a little more weight. I only had one set of wheel weights on it. I think i will put a total of three on the land wheel and add one to the furrow wheel. Some guys today said that there is no way a factory 300 would handle a 3-14s in hard ground, let alone a distillate model like mine. After today i know it has to have had work done to it, just nothing that meets the eye. One thing is for certain, as i am typing this, i can still hear the sweet sound of that governor opening up on a tough spot! I think i may add another hundred series to my herd, maybe a 400? Have to see! I guess i just wanted to say that the 300 made me proud today. Thanks for reading.
