Modification To Tile Plow Bossts Performance
We've sold tile plows to many FARM SHOW readers and thought they might be interested in an idea one of our customers recently came up with to boost performance of his plow. Mike Toussaint bought a plow with a set of wheels and tiled going across bean rows. The problem was that his laser went up and down.
  Over the winter, he got to thinking that he had a walking beam on an old manure spreader that he was going to scrap. He mounted the walking beam on his plow and went over the same ground again. This time the laser was much more stable.
  When we heard about what he did, we decided to offer a walking beam as an option on our plow. Each beam works independent of the other, allowing the boot to stay on grade and "walking" over uneven ground. There are four new spindles and hubs, and the size tires they use are 18.4 by 26. The walking beam is made so it will bolt onto the original dolly.
  Everyone who has tried our tile plow this way with lasers says they can lay tile precisely on grade. (Don Wurdinger, Farm Drainage Plows, Inc., 909 4th St. N.W., Waverly, Iowa 50677 ph 319 352-3911).
