Hello All,
So I today I was very pleased to get another opportunity to put my MH 55 to work again. A feller that's in the local machinery club with me had roughly 13 acres of hay ground he was wanting plowed up so he could replant it. First plow I hooked onto was a Oliver 2 bottom hydraulic lift and then switched to a 3 bottom trip type plow (unsure of make and model). The 2 bottom Oliver plow pulled nicely behind my 55 and I also found out that my hydraulics work great! The 3 bottom gave my tractor a real workout. The ground we was in was clay and was very hard in some places, even stopped me in my tracks a couple of times. Never ran out of power just traction. That 3 bottom plow was all that 55 wanted, but it pulled nicely and man did it make her bark! Didn't break anything this time and only issues I really had was getting the 3 bottom set and for whatever reason kept getting choked up. But nonetheless I helped finished the field and the lineup for today was: my MH 55, an Oliver 77 w/Oliver 2 bottom plow, Case 1070 w/Oliver 5 bottom plow, Ford w/ Ford 2 bottom 3pt plow and a 180 AC pulling a 10ft disc.
