Keep in mind that the CCO is not stock, and has a Kabota diesel in it

The Red cub has a 15 horsepower Kubota diesel in it.
The Orginal has a 20 horsepower Kohler gas motor in it.

Not to sound negative. But I have a question on the 2 bottom plow. I have been wanting to get either a plow and disc's or a tiller so I can do my garden. Do or can our cubs pull a 2 bottom fast and deep enough to be effective?

That is exactly what I am wondering - if they are (which the 782D in the picture shows), I think it would be cool to have one. I have never seen any on the web except for the pictures just posted - they have all been 1 furrow plows. I was really thinking if you could get the traction with duals on both sides, you could likely pull a 3 or 4 furrow "on land" plow. The articulating tractor that is on extreme motor works site, with the duals all the way around should be able to. Throw some ags on it instead of turfs, hook up a 4 furrow on land plow and you would be away to the races! Imagine showing up at a plow day with that unit, there would be a lot of heads turning and head scratching over it!

The Orginal was pulling the plow in 2nd gear most of the day.....until the trans locked up.
Both plows have 8 inch wide bottoms. Normal plow depth is half the plow width which means they are only plowing 4 to 5 inches deep. I will plow a 10 inch wide section 5 to 6 inches deep with my single bottom 10 inch plow. Most times I need to plow deeper than 4 inches. My tiller will go 4 inches deep when using it.
I have a friend that has a JD 430 that pulls two 10 inch plows. This tractor has around 35 horsepower in it and a 2 speed locking diff in the rear. This tractor weighs 1500 pounds. He has problems pulling that plow at a plow day in my area. The power is there...traction is not. The articulating tractor that is on extreme motor works site, with the duals all the way around will have traction problems with some ags on it. Weight seems to be the problem.
