My son just started milking cows here about 6 weeks ago and we are already planning on plowing and reseeding at least one field next spring. So I'll be hooking unto the old 575 and giving it some use next spring. I originally was pulling my 575 with a 1650 and Pop had a 4020 with the JD 4 bottom, and he could just barely make that 5th pass to my 4 to keep up with me. Of course when the going got muddy, the 4020 couln't begin the keep up with the 1650 4WD. If you put a 3020 on the JD plow it wouldn't even be close. And then I bought the 1955 and plowed with that. 5 16's behind a 1955. Certainly wasn' lacking for giddy-up go.

All the experts not-withstanding there is still something to be said for a good moldboard (meaning OLIVER or WHITE) plow.
