I have a 23hp that pulls a one bottom just fine. I'm sure you could pull it with 28, problem is one bottoms are not cheap.

 

THATS GOOD TO HEAR. THANKS. EVERYDAY ON MY WAY TO WORK I DRIVE BY A HOME THAT HAS 2 SMALLER OLDER SINGLE BOTTOM PLOWS FOR SALE AND I HAVE BEEN DEBATING TO STOP AND LOOK AT AND FIND A PRICE ON. BUT WAS NEVER SURE IF I COULD PULL ONE AND HAVE IT WORK PROPERLY. THEY ARENT SET UP FOR A 3PT HITCH THOUGH. LOOKS TO BE A PULL BEHIND. BUT I CAN WELD A FRAME UP FOR IT. SO FOR NOW I JUST USE MY TILLER AND OR A SET OF GANG DISCS AND HARROWS. TILLER WORKS GREAT BUT LOTS OF ROCK WHERE IM AT IN STEUBEN

THERE ARE SO MANY ROCKS HERE IT IS UNREAL. IT WORKS THE TILLER PRETTY HARD. PLUS THE SOIL IS LIKE CLAY HERE, ITS NICE WHEN MOIST BUT HARDER THAN HELL WHEN DRY. IM GUESSING ITS SHALE OR SLATE .. THINNER, WIDER ROCK AND LOTS OF IT. BUT SEED GROWS WELL, SO I WONT COMPLAIN ANYMORE. HAHA. THIS YEAR HAS BEEN KINDA WIERD THOUGH, I DONT KNOW IF ITS THE MOISTURE THIS YEAR BUT IN MY PLOTS WHERE IT USUALLY DIDNT GROW THE BEST IS GROWING GREAT AND WHERE IT USUALLY GROWS AWESOME ISNT GROWING WELL AT ALL. THINKING MYABE ITS LACKING NUTRIENTS? IM NOT SURE..

It's not the set that's been on 333 just west of Campbell is it ?

I wouldn't be surprised if your 28 horse deisel would pull a plow..

My ancient Ford 9N pulls a 2 bottom with no problem..Heavy SOD makes her grunt a little, though...LOL..

TELL me about rocks in Steuben County..On the hills, rocks and hardpan clay are the name of the game. The LUCKY guys are the ones with river/creek bottom...

10-15HP per bottom..your 28 should pull a. 12in-14in 2Bottom no problem.. can buy used for 100 a bottom pretty regular. or buy a 3bottom and remove one. A tiller in the ground hear is only asking fro broken tines/shear pins Clay and shale here in alleagany/Catt county.

Im very thankful for our clean soil. Honestly, after we tilled 4 plots this year, I walked all of them and couldnt find a single rock if I wanted to. My biggest chore was picking chunks of root balls from the bushes that used to be in a couple of them.

 

I hate you...

NO THIS SET IS ON 371 OUTSIDE OF COHOCTON. SMALL 2 BOTTOM.

 

MY ONLY WORRY WAS BEING HYDROSTATIC..

I PICKED UP A 7" SET OF PULL BEHIND DISCS (2 ROWS FRONT 2 IN BACK) AND IT PULLS IT GOOD, EVEN WITH THE R4 TIRES

 

I DONT HAVE ANY PLOTS LACKING ROCKS.. LUCKY ME

 

TIME TO HIRE SOME PICKERS THIS SPRING.. BEER BBQ AND BONFIRE USUALLY PAYS WELL :) HAHA

I HAVE YET TO BREAK ANY TINES ON THE TILLER BUT I KNOW ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. KNOCK ON WOOD. LUCKILY I FOUND (3) SETS OF DISCS  (5) HARROW DRAGS THIS PASS SPRING, SOMEONE WAS GOING TO SCRAP.. 150$ BOUGHT THEM ALL AND MOST OF THEM ARE IN WORKING CONDITION. THEY SAVE THE TRACTOR SOME WEAR AND TEAR.
