U-C Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Back in the old country we had Swiss made rollover or two way plows made by the OTT bro company, the best new plows on the market that are like that are Poettinger and Kerveland and Kuhn too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZG6E Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I’ve only ever used rollover plows and currently have an IH 145 that I use to plow alfalfa under although I’m working my way more towards no till where I can.  Besides leaving a dead furrow I always thought it looked like a person would waste a lot of time driving around without the plow in the ground with a one way plow.  Usually one cultimultcher pass with the teeth all the way buried leaves a nice seedbed here but sometimes it needs two passes depending on what kind of slabs I pull up.  No pictures of the plow on this phone but here is one of the cultimulcher. With the teeth buried in plowed ground it makes my 5488 sweat at 7-8 mph. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly Mel is more into track layers/machines.

He is tuning on a WD-6 for the plow day. Waiting on fuel filters now he said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyIH Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 I have located a Oliver 6342, are they a decent plow or should I hold out for a 140 or 145? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with Oliver roll-over plows very nice plow but you want a trip plow if you have rocks or you could end up with a bent plow look it over really good before you buy I take a long straight edge and make sure none of the beams are bent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyIH Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 Was it an option on the 6342 to have spring trips? I have only seen pictures and there are no springs visible. Did some have a shear bolt or were they mounted solid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagan Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 This is quite a unique plow. It was made for the days of the D6 7 and 8 Cat. If you look close the roll over design is just extra large one as compared to a 642 IH mechanism https://www.bigiron.com/Lots/AtlasSD416SpinnerPlow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyIH Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 I have located a Mf 570 4-18 in furrow and a Ford 4-16 on land. Any thoughts or experience with these plows? How about parts availability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
