I think some of you took my earlier post of "Farmall MD VS Oliver 77" the wrong way. It was not a test or to put any tractor brand down. H*ll, we have JD, Farmall, and Oliver. And I love them all.
I was trying to find out why the Oliver was digging itself in and not plowing. I know that the 77 is more than capable of this 3 bottom plow. I also know that the Oliver has a slight disadvantage because of skinnier rubber. BUT..... I didn't think it would be that much of a difference. Our 77 has pulled this plow many times before. I also spent much of the day adjusting the plow to trail right, and try to get it as level as I could. For the most part I can adjust a trailer plow to work good, but I'm still green with trailer plows. For every adjustment, there is a reaction. I have alot to learn about using them.
I know that there is many variables in plowing, I was just trying to get some info that maybe I was overlooking. For me to post everything I adjusted or tried would have made for a LONG post. How high the drawbar is, drawbar offset, depth of plow, etc, all makes a difference. All I was looking to get out of my post was some helpful hints on how to set it up. Like what works better, high or low drawbar, and things like that.
Sorry if I came across as making it a test of unfairness. I just wanted some help seting it up. I just tried to give the basic info on each tractor. Thanks, Doug

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
