Another nice picture of a good looking tractor and plow!! Tractor must be in good condition to pull 4-12's in fourth gear. Don't think mine would do that.

Might be sandy loam in that area. It looks like the Christchurch area which is alpine runoff high in sand. Is that where you're plowing D2Mova? Nice picture either way. We have the same soil in this area so I'm keen to get a 4 bottom for my 5U

Nice! Nothing better than shiny pads and moldboards. Very nifty setup. I might have to bring my D2 4U out of hiding and give 'er a workout. Thanks for sharing. JM
