ibskot 37 #1 Posted October 9, 2014 I have one that has a single hole. I have not tried it. I was thinking about getting one that I could expect to have more control. There is another one on CL that is like this. The holes but they are offset. Should I use what I have or try to upgrade? Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollingflat 123 #2 Posted October 9, 2014 I have been plowing w a 8" plow w only one slot hole for two days now and it is working great. had it for a while but did not have a slot hitch until I made one last weekend. Worked great. It is leaving a small " land " between furrows but am going to make a three hole slot end to replace the single one, should take care of the gap problem.

ibskot 37 #3 Posted October 9, 2014 I thought about doing this. Does it stay straight when you left it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catmanii 36 #5 Posted October 9, 2014 I thought about doing this. Does it stay straight when you left it? Yes it will stay straight (The one in the picture) when lifted, you just need the clevis hitch that Rollingflat is showing you. Works great. Not sure exactly what you have with a single hole, but long as the plow is not to big it can most likely be modified if needed. I try not to buy anything different untill I run out of ideas on how to modify what I already have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ibskot 37 #8 Posted October 10, 2014 Seems like the moral of the story is I need to learn to weld. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ibskot 37 #10 Posted October 10, 2014 Appreciate the breakdown....but I don't have a welder. I am going to get one one day for stuff like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollingflat 123 #11 Posted October 10, 2014 I would try the one hole plow before upgrading... it will probably work fine. Does it look similar to mine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollingflat 123 #12 Posted October 10, 2014 If you dont have a welder you can get the sleeve hitch on e-bay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Helps to be able to just make it yourself. Edited October 15, 2014 by Catmanii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
