horsedrawn plow

[kinelbor]

Someone in my town is selling a horsedrawn plow. Its pretty small. It has just the moldboard and a long arm that could be bolted to the drawbar. Maybe with a little modifaction/fabrication. I figured just use a chain from the plow to the rear lift arm and it would raise and lower just fine. Think this would work?

Nik:

They use these kinds of plows for all kinds of mods to mount up to tractors where I live. Necessity if the mother of invention. How good a job it will do depends entirely on who does the modification work and what it is going to be used for...

Look for a Cub-193 first..

[Rick Prentice]

Yep, I agree with Rudi's statement completely. I take it the handles are missing, so you'll have to adapt the mounting so the plow doesn't fall over from side to side. Piece of cake for your talent, Nik. Another fun project Send on the pics soon!

I sure wish I was close to you I have 7 Cub plows and a horse drawn plow is worth a lot more money here for yard ornament than a Cub plow is.

I think it would probably partially work. As Rudi said, "Necessity is the mother of invention. How good a job it will do depends entirely on who does the modification work". I've never used this one, but it bolts to the drawbar with 3 bolts to keep it from leaning left or right and has a hole in the rear upright to hook a chain to lift it. I'm sure if the 3 bolts were too tight though, it wouldn't lift out of the ground, just pull against the drawbar. If you put a pivot in the beam, it would probably just skim on top of the ground. This one is on my heap. The point is though, things can be modified to suit your purpose. I modified a horse drawn sweep by welding a cultivator shank to the beam. After I work my garden using the gee whiz or hillers, I put the sweep under the tractor and sweep the rows back up.

Hey Nik...I believe your BEST BET (if you want a plow for your Cub) is to look for and buy a CUB 193 moldboard plow with a coulter and a deapth control lever, or a two-way plow and lever. These will give you the BEST RESULTS from your Cub (although they won't be as much fun as tryin' to fabricate or modify a plow that WASN'T made for a Cub). If the PRICE IS RIGHT on the horse-drawn plow...why not buy it and SWAP for the Cub plow and lever you NEED?

Yes David I agree the yard ornament is what these were intended for, I too have my hours loged in on following a horse and plow.

Our mules were Maude and Jenny... very large as mules go. Maude was black and Jenny was white. They were easy to tell apart! I was glad when they were replaced with a team of Belgians, Jack and Jim. Jack dropped dead while pulling the hay wagon and loader. He was replaced by Carny (Carnation), a Percheron.

Pop was breaking new ground with the mules pulling the walking plow. He had the lines tied together behind his back when the plow struck a root and the doubletree broke. He ended up with a few broken ribs.
