Yard Plows
 

How well do plows hold up to rocks in the yard? I don't mean golf ball size. I know I have some what of a rocky yard with some 6" plus sizes.. Do you come to a stop when these kinda rocks come along? What happens? :bigthink:

I would guess, it would depend on how the rock contacts the plow.

What's a "yard plow"? :bigthink:

If the rocks are on top, this will push them,,,,,,,,

If they are buried, and the ground is dry, this will not move them,,,,,

Show us your yard plow,,,,,,,,, :bigthink:

Ha ha ha, I know that is not the right name for it.. But with winter here, I didn't want the confusion. I guess I should have said garden blade.. What ever it is called. my bad.. I feel like jackwagon!! And no I don't have a yard plow.

Maybe this?? :bigthink:

this would be the one!!! The pics where fun, I got a chuckle CAD.. So, about the rocks!! How does this guy do? I am a little nervous. I know tryin to dig a hole for a tree was pretty rough.

Do I want to know what the last one is for???lol

That is a VERY dangerous woodsplitter!! :bigeyes:

I owned it 3 days, and it had to go on CL!! :bigthink:

:biggrin2:

I have a "Stickler" on the PTO of my Ferguson, haven't used it in a couple of years. Gotta be really careful using it.

trying to figure out if this is gonna be right for my yard or not,..

this guy!!

Depends on how big a rock, where it hits.... Good way to break one.

That is called a moldboard plow.

If there were 6" rocks, I would be pulling that S L O W !!:bigthink:

Is it just me, or do others think of the gubber-mint when they see that type of splitter?:bigthink:

LMAO, never associated the two before, but yeah, I really kinda do. I'll never look at that splitter the same way again.

Yes I can see that. Now I am going to look at myself as a poor, innocent piece of wood for the rest of my days! :biggrin2:

The 6 bottom plow we used had spring loaded latches. The bottoms were held in place by spring tension. When you hit a big enough rock the bottom would pivot back and up going over the rock. Backing up reset the bottom.

I have never seen this on a small plow. The smaller a tractor the less chance there is of busting something when you do catch a rock. Maybe drive with you foot on the clutch, if you are quick you might be able to keep it from killing the engine.

On the other hand if you are into fabrication it might be a fun thing to make and have. Maybe even used some bits from a junked plow headed for the scrap.

:Shhhh: I should have read what my fingers said.

Thanks guys, this was fun and informative all at the same time.. I will remember to keep my root off the clutch also.. I got a big yard, but it ant that big!!:ROTF2::ExtremeFunny:
