| I remember that seeing that tractor. I thought it was odd that a fairly modern tractor was pulling a pull type plow with a mechanical lift. It was doing a good job though, and a nice looking tractor. I enjoyed seeing all the tractors plowing. The soil is amazing, it looks like potting soil you have to buy around here. I wished I had picked up a few clods and brought them home. I could have potted a plant or two. |

They used an old pull type plow so they could pull a 2 bottom with the 160 . Kinda hard to find 2 bottom 3 pt AC plow . They wanted all the 100 series tractors to pull AC plows and a 3 bottom might have been too much for the 160 ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

Ground looks a bit dry this year. I guess Creston didn't get stuck? ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

Three point works fine. Original plan was a three point 2 bottom but owner was unable to bring it so we went with the backup plan. ------------- 220 3-190XT 2-D19d D19g 5-D17 UC 3-WC 2-WD 3-WD45 CA C H3 7-AllCrops 14-plows 3-Gleaners Lawnmowers SC-equipment |
