I am assuming that hydro lift means that it is hooked to the hydraulic arms so that it can be lifted completely up as opposed to the old style that could only be pulled behind the tractor and not lifted up after the end of the row. Since we don't use any moldboard plows due to the rock ground here, I really don't know the value there....Looks like it is decently taken care of...

Do you know what the wheel is for? Granted all of this is new to me, but I don't ever recall seeing a small plow like this with a wheel before.

Doing a little more research on the international plow forsale a few posts back. It's the craziest plow I ever seen. I'n not even sure how it would work, but it apparently does.

The wheel is for transport when the plow is in the "up" position. You "drop" the boards for plowing and the wheel rides along

Thank you @FarmerJamie . You have probably more experience and knowledge of it. I hadn't been back on here but as soon as I saw the question a few minutes ago, I was going to post just what you said. Many implements that are heavy and cumbersome, will have transport type wheels. It is for safety, and stability and takes the pressure off the hydraulics as well. Again, there are few moldboard plows in this area due to our rock and ledge. You will see them more in the eastern part of Va.

Oh come on... Ask me what a VLB is.

 

[farmerjan]

Since I have no qualms about appearing stupid.... What is VLB
