Thanks for the info. Looks like I need to start shopping for one now. If anyone else has some more to add, I'd be glad to hear it.

Chris, I saw a photo you posted on the Oliver Gang site of your Dad's competition 4240. I noticed some wire below and parallel to the frame. What is the purpose of this? I had an old timer tell me about doing something similar to his Oliver plows in heavy residue. Will it work for other brands? It looks to me like it would cause them to plug up more.

Our soils scour pretty easily and I don't think they are heavy, but they are certainly heavier than sandy soils.

What would be the Deere equivilant to a 770? When were they produced? How many H.P. and what do they weigh?

Thanks,
IFB
