Thats a huge plow tip. What did you use to dig it up? A backhoe?

 

[Old River]

I was sure wishing I had a backhoe. I used a short handle round point shovel. I wish I would have at least had an axe to cut the roots loose. It was tought digging.

That had to have been an extreme overload hit. You are the man for digging something that MASSIVE!

Keep up the great posts, bud!

THATS HUGE!!!!. I usually ignore the signals that are more that a few inches long. They always end up being beer cans. WTG> May want to invest in some tractor impiments.

I had to carry it a little over a quater of a mile. Yes it was heavy. That was my last dig for the day. LOL

Having followed a pair of mules for about 40,000 miles in my youth, I would say that was from a 2 horse, John Blue turning plow, the smaller piece is the part that they replaced after about 1000 miles or so in a furrow, the other is the wing.

Additionally the arrow shaped piece is from a separate plow altogether, usually found on the tip of a fertilizer distributor where you could get close to the plant a insert the fertilizer 2 inches to the side of the plant and 2 inches below ground. It is from a one horse outfit. Gee up mule, now haw haw a little.

Actually the small piece is a hand tool. It had a handle in it like a shovel. Part of the wood is still in it. The smaller plow was used on a one horse plow. They called them back on the farm in Mississippi a turning plow, half shovel. The big one is definitely a two mule plow. I felt like one of them when I got out of those woods with it.
