back in 1954 dad needed another tractor local AC dealer real good fellow kept saying how good wd 45 would plow in our heavy ground. dealer brough 3 bottom wd 45 down.

They traded plows as 3 was usless to us and 2 bottom too small for him. Having all the big tractors plowing and one extra man to work 2 bottom was put on our now wd45. maybe 2 rounds, hit tough spot, front came up so high it stood up over center and had to stand on plow push on front hood to get it to fall fordward. needless to say that ended ANY attempt to plow in out tougher ground. I did see the plowed ground John T was talking about, sand and really easy plowing. Good patch to scour plow bottoms!!
