In Reply to: 2N And Chisel Plow? posted by Bryce Frazier on July 11, 2015 at 20:25:40:
Bryce, those implements were called a tiller when Ferguson brought them out in 39 for the 9N tractor, they were avaible in both a 7 and 9 shank version. There is not enough ground glearance for ant trash on top a nd not enough for cultivating anny crop. That is where the modern chisel plow developed from. Now as for power if you could get it to depth you WILL NOT have enough power. You depending on your soil if easy working then you might pull it at 4" deep but 3" would be more like it. And 2-14" is too much plow for that tractor. My 1944 2N bought new by Dad in May of 44 he bought the plow with it (I still have both), they brought out a 14" plow with the tractor and tried to get the outfit started, they after they tried making 2 rounds loaded up that 14" plow and took it back and brought out a 12" plow and that was used for years with no problems. I have that Ferguson tiller in the 9 shank model and we pulled it with a Ford 4000 with the 38" rear wheels rated at 52 horse, your N is 23 horse and the fergey is 29 horse. That 4000 was rebored, that model does not use sleeves, twice so that much overbore and put out 60 horse on the dyno. In the easier highly eroadable working soil in bean stubble with no residue on top worked OK with that 4000 but the 44 2N would not have budged it. And you are not supposed to use that in low gear but in intermediate as they depend on speed to do the fracturing of the soil. If you are pulling a moldboard in low gear you have too big of a plow on them as they are also designed for intermediate and full wide oppen throttle. And there is no way they will tear out any plants. That is why field cultivators run sweep type shovels instead of those double point shovels. Use that plow and as soon as the condition of the soil is right for disking do that, do not go acording to plant size. Then for later weed control get the sweeps for that tiller and before ground gets hard work every time weeds start to show up. And go cross ways for each consectuitive pass, You might just want to put a drag behind it to level it off enough so you can actually drive at speed needed and still stay on the tractor and not be bounced off. If your soil is type they plant the potatoes in it is easier worrking type but you say you are a few miles from the potato area so it is not likely to be the easier working soil.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
