My New Plow.

[70ds]

I got a Minneapolis Moline 5 bottom plow given to me by my Dad's boss. They were going to scrap it so I saved it.

always a good thing saving something from the scrap pile!

is that a grill guard on the car in the first pic?

[70ds]

Lol, yes. That is my Dad's old work car. He has hit 5 deer with it. He bought a better one and gave that one to my brother. So we got bored one day and build a grill guard for it. The front end is trashed and we needed something to mount the lights on. Since all the factory stuff was mangled. It has tractor lights wired in for headlights.

Nice plow! Our 3bottom John Deere is doing a good job. Nice buy, certainly don't see many Minneapolis Moline implements nowadays.

Hmmm... not the plow I have on my mind right now, we are in the middle of getting 8-10" of snow ...

I would take some snow. It is so dry here any kind of moisture is ok with me.

we have a 4 bottom minneapolis Moline 2 point that my dad saved from the scrap man too. the farmer who owned it said that in the tornado of 08 it picked up the plow threw it 100 yards on to his brand new stalk chopper. it didnt hurt the plow a bit but it totaled the chopper

Looks like a pretty good score. I love rescuing things like that from the scrap man (though usually automotive related in my case). So now the question becomes are you gonna use it or just paint it up and look at it?

[70ds]

I will use it. We don't do much plowing. I will most likely plow some terraces with it this spring. If we would get some moisture I might plow a small field. Right now it is so dry I am not going to be doing any plowing.
