Plowing with a GC2300

[67PLY]

Anybody ever try pulling a single bottom garden plow with a GC series tractor ?

 

[Dieseltech]

Have a 10" single bottom on MF 14 garden tractor and a homemade 2 bottom 10" I use on MF 205 compact diesel at garden tractor plow days. Used to have a single on 205, hardly knew it was back there. Not ready yet but also have a 3 bottom 8" orchard plow for the 205, need to get the hitch done first. Have a plow day Sat April 14 schedualed weather permitting.

I don't see why you shouldn't give it a try... depending on the soil conditions, ag tires might be advantageous...
In other word, lack of traction, not power, will potentially be an issue.

I tried pulling a old Massey Harris 2 furrow 12" plow the other day, could only put it in the ground about 5 inches before the tires spun. I have turf tires so I think I should be able to pull a single furrow pretty easily.

I do have a Brinly plow from an old JD ..... maybe I'll make a 3pt hitch adapter and try that.

I was going to cut up my plow to make a single furrow 3PH but some offered to by the plow from me so I can just buy a 3ph one.

Found a new one for subcompacts .........

12" Narrow Hitch, Low Profile One Bottom Tractor Plow, Model 19-12 Category 1, 3 Point Hitch Hookup

Made a 3pth plow out of a old single horse/ox plough for the GC 2300 it works good.The pic shows it working in a old un worked garden and it worked pretty good.

Is that a DL100 loader on your tractor?

I have an old David Bradley plow that I purchased off E-bay. I modified it to fit my GC2400. It's an 8 or 9 inch IIRC. Worked well for what it is.

I pulled it fine with turfs, but my wife didn't like the results of the plow, and the one row cultivator.............so I bought a tiller.

Want to buy the plow?

No I don't. I don't even have a way to take pics since my son moved out.

Found a used plow. It is a Brinley PP-1200 ..... single bottom 12 inch for compact tractors w/Cat 1 hitch. It has a FORD id tag and is painted the factory blue - Ford Model 100. Apparenty Ford had Brinley make them for their smaller tractors. I'll get a pic soon.

Had a '68 Satellite ragtop ...... sold it to finish the '67. Mine is a 318 automatic. We live is western PA and the winter salt killed most of the good mopars.

Pic of my Ford/Brinly - 3 pt. sub compact plow.

Today we had snow .... April 23rd - wrong kind of plow.

I'm using the same size brinly plow on my JD4110. Plowed an acre or so last fall. Worked great.

My neighbor used it last week. He has an older Kubota 4x4 sub compact with a 2 cyl deisel. Once he got the proper adjustments on his three point hitch figured out - it worked good.

i have a 10" Brinly that I had used as a sleeve hitch for my Craftsman tractor. Going to modify it to fit the 3 pt on the Massey.
