Is this plow for me?

For the money there's not much to lose and you will have a unique plough!

That's a great price - I never see plows in decent shape around here. Was that a Big-E score? Let me know if you get it and decide you don't want it. I'll give you even money, so no risk for you if you decide to buy. Messing around with a turning plow has been high on my to-do list for awhile.

Here is a qoute from the above about the Scotch plow:

"The 10" Scotch bottom showm in figure 18. has a soft center laminated steel moldboard and cast steel shares.
This type of bottom is designed to stand the furrow slice on edge, rather than invert it.
It is well adapted to fall plowing where the land is to be left rough through the winter, or for control of wind and water errosion."

I read something similar, but it didn't make sense. This makes sense of it. Thanks.

Yes, I agree.

Hey Jim,

No, nothing to do with Big-E. I have your email, so if I buy and don't like, I'll be in touch.

Thanks, and keep us posted, whatever way you go, as this thread has consolidated a lot of plow information/resources into one place.
Best of luck,
