    James, a few questions for you;
    What shape is it in? I guess it is in working order, if you used it last year? This is a single bottom plow, moldboard plow? How big is the bottom?

    What size horses did you use it with? What type of soil did you plow with it? i.e. sandy, loamy or clay?

    Anybody have any ideas what it would cost to ship something like that 1/2 way across the country?

    it is an oliver # 23 You plow with one side at a time and you can switch sides . we have belguim drafts and nice sandy loam about 2 feet thick
    as far as shipping it would probably be around 150.00 where are you located?

    For that price it should be like brand new. Here in N.Y. good useable two way sulkies sell for $150 unless they are something special. Oliver made a good plow but I wonder if you have something special or if you didn’t check prices. Good Luck with your sale but your prices seem steep to me.

    James,

    I am in Texas. I have never seen a sulky plow for sell down here, so didn’t know what the prices run. In fact I have never seen one down here period.

    I was curious about the soil, because mostly what I would have to plow is fairly heavy black clay and I am skeptical that a team could pull a moldboard through that stuff. Which may explain why most of the land near me was never farmed until after tractors were being used.

    The plow has some parts that we repaired last season but it is ready to go. We had 2 of them ,the other oliver was a little beefier it sold for $700.00 cash. I will accept a reasonable cash offer. I believe a walk behind plow is selling for between 100.00 -150.00 This one could use some paint but it is ready to go.. Thank You James
