Daron1965 644 #1 Posted March 16, 2019 Came across a unique plow, it appears that this is a 2 bottom plow. Owner says it's a dearborn plow. Can you tell if it's missing anything? Value? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,116 #2 Posted March 16, 2019 I do not see the second plow share. Two bottom plows are popular at auctions around here. Used for feed plots and by some hobby farmers. Would look right with a Ford 8N. With the clay/rock mix here it would work the 8N. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,464 #3 Posted March 16, 2019 As the two plow shares are headed in opposite directions I presume this is set up to allow one plow to be raised while the other cuts a furrow. When the end of the field is reached you lower the other one and plow back using the same furrow avoiding having a dead furrow. Sort off like this one.

pfrederi 17,116 #4 Posted March 16, 2019 Those are also know as roll over plows...My eyes are not as good as Richards I do not even see the second plow share. The coulters are in line and parallel do not think they would be on a roll over reversible plow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daron1965 644 #5 Posted March 16, 2019 There is two shares. One looks as if it turns sod over to left when pulled, the other to the right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,464 #6 Posted March 16, 2019 This one isn't a roll over plow, looks like one would be lifted while the other is turning soil. Perhaps our expert plow dogs can help. @PeacemakerJack, @WHX22, @Achto, how about it, can you help out here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how you would use it. If you dropped both at once you could make a nice trench for drainage etc.... In any event you aren't pulling this with a Wheel Horse .

Daron1965 644 #8 Posted March 17, 2019 No plans on pulling with a wheelhorse. I just thought it was an unique piece of farming history. Did some research, found this: 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
