looking for a plow

Yes Sir, that stop would be a sorta/maybe makeshift draft control. The thing is you want to plow consistently. I grew up farming and then farmed comercially for many years. Ive plowed thousands of acres but never with anything less than a 5 bottom and up to 12 bottoms at most. Back here they had plowing contests at farm festivals, and the consistent winners had everything dialed in. It all depends what kind of plow you have as to the hitch setup you need. My bigger plows pulled from the drawbar and raised and lowered hydraulically via wheels. The smaller 5 and 6 bottom pulled from the lift arms (2 point) and raised and lowered with those and a hydraulic ram on the tail wheel. I would think your 1 bottom would need a 3 point to do the lifting. One more thing, a coulter makes a nicer furrow but I seldom used them as theyd promote plugging in heavy residue.

Thank you so much for your thoughts. Yes the 1 bottom plow will be hooked up via the 3pt. The plow weighs 479 lbs. I had heard also that the coulter works great in virgin soil which this is however very few manufactures make a 1 bottom plow with a coulte.

I have a few emails out to the dealer where I bought the used tractor. I did not get a top link so it’s kinda hard hooking it up … lol

I very well may have to go buy one thinking that the guy who had it before took it off to put the back hoe on and forgot to put it on when trading it in. Have to wait what they say.

A generic CAT1 top link , 3/4" eyes, 20-30" range is about $50 CDN, more or less. Mine are bolted to implements(adjusted once ),save the pain of 'dialing in' every time I change implements.
