T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,654 #6 Posted April 5, 2023 Nice machines. Tell us more about the pull behind 2 bottom plow. Nice D in the background of the first image, 2nd post. I seen a youtube video from a few months back where there was a plow day that just had D's, about 40 of them, that was plowing. The D, if I remember correctly, was made for 30 years or something like that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is fully adjustable just like the big plows. Uses 10” Brinly moldboards. Hydraulic lift. The D was at a show in Edgar, WI. I just happened to setup next to it. The owner was very nice. I did see the “D” plow day on fb, cool watching them plow. Some closer pics of the plow. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J854D 141 #12 Posted April 5, 2023 That pull type plow has an amazing likeness to the full size 44H John Deere plow! A farmer I worked for had one that we fixed up and he would take it to plow events and use it behind his John Deere A and B. His 44H was a 14” & 16” adjustable plow. -JD- 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old School 92 0 #15 Posted yesterday at 08:53 PM Hi Streetrodchev. I am considering getting a Deere 318 myself. You have an awesome build. Has the 318 ever let you down when it comes to working your garden? Also, I know you have the 3 point hitch, but do you know anything about using a sleeve hitch on a 318 instead? I ask because I would want to get implements from Brinley, but all of their stuff is for sleeve hitch, and not 3 point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ask because I would want to get implements from Brinley, but all of their stuff is for sleeve hitch, and not 3 point. Brinly had 3 point implements before. The 318 would have a category zero 3 point, and there are category zero implements out there. There is also an adapter you can make or buy that would convert a tractor's 3 point hitch to a sleeve (Deere calls it integral) hitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only time my 318 let me down, was the ignition module on the P218 Onan. I use an adapter for the 3 point to use sleeve hitch attachments. My first couple of years plowing was with a sleeve hitch plow. Edited 2 hours ago by Streetrodchev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
