Key Features
- Moldboard frame pivots with the bottoms
- Safety-trip standards available to save time
- Plastic moldboard and steel shins
- Rear gauge wheel
Features
All 975 Moldboard Plows use only one set of bottoms.
The moldboards are reversed laterally by a hydraulic cylinder that is standard equipment. There are several advantages of this design over traditional two-way rollover plows with two sets of bottoms:
- Requires less 3-point hitch capacity
- Requires less ballasting of the tractor front end
- Eliminates initial cost and service requirements for one complete set of standards and bottoms
The reversing pin is positioned at a 13.5-degree angle, instead of being straight up, for even plowing in both directions. The reversing pin does not require adjustments by the operator.
The V-style mainframe is made of 152-mm x 102-mm (6-in. x 4-in.) welded tubular steel to handle the stress of tough plowing and reversing action as well as tight turns:
- 5-mm (3/16-in.) thick on three-bottom plows
- 8-mm (5/16-in.) thick on four- and five-bottom plows
Compatible with tractors equipped with Quik-Coupler, the integral hitch offers unexcelled maneuverability in turns and when parking in tight areas:
- Tractor rockshaft lever controls the raising and lowering of the plow
- Maximum plowing depth is 356 mm (14 in.)
The width of cut on all 975 Moldboard Plows can be set at 406 mm or 457 mm (16 in. or 18 in.) by moving the standards to different bolt holes in order to:
- Match the tractor horsepower to the soil conditions
- Improve the residue-handling ability
- Improve productivity
- Maximize fuel efficiency
The underframe clearance is 813 mm (32 in.) to allow excellent material flow through the plow.
All 975 Moldboard Plows come with a rear gauge wheel included in standard equipment. The rear gauge wheel provides the following features:
- Controls the plowing depth of the rear of the plow in rolling terrain
- Stabilizes rear of the plow in soft soils
- Adjustable through a full range of plowing depths
- Designed for easy turnbuckle adjustment
- Equipped with 6.70-15 tire to eliminate bulldozing in soft soils

Accessories and Attachments
Bottoms
Steel shins are available as a field-installed option only.
The frog is pre-drilled at the factory to accept this attachment.
With this attachment, the steel shins will allow longer wear life when soil first comes into contact with the plow, but still offers the option of a plastic moldboard for sticky soil conditions.

Wheels and Tires
A rear gauge wheel can be ordered for plows not so equipped.
Rear gauge wheels:
- Control the plowing depth of the rear of the plow in rolling terrain
- Stabilize the rear of the plow in soft soils
- Provide easier turnbuckle adjustment
- Are adjustable through a full range of plowing depths
- Come with 6.70-15 tire to eliminate bulldozing in soft soils
