Home-Built Miniature 4-Bottom Moldboard Plow
 ✖  |
I built this patriotic, miniature 4-bottom moldboard plow from scratch. It makes an excellent parade item but actually does a good job of plowing, too. It’s equipped with four 6 1/2-in. tall moldboards off an old David Bradley moldboard plow. The moldboards were individual units when I got them, so I welded together a frame to mount them on.
The moldboards are raised and lowered by a hydraulic cylinder that operates off a self-contained, 12-volt hydraulic lift system that I mounted on my Cub Farmall tractor. The back side of the moldboards is painted blue and the front side a soft black protective paint, which scours to a shiny surface when plowing. I used sheet metal to build notched coulters. I had a lot of fun building it. (Don Nelson, 635 Esmond St., Hildreth, Neb. 68947; mary_n@charter.net)
