Not here. It's about as big a plow as you see around here. I don't know if the ground is just harder or what, but that's the preferred setup for 99% of the farmers here. I've seen pictures of very wide plows like they use out in the mid west, I don't think they would work that well here. I've seen a big JD pull the 3 point off the frame of a six bottom plow just like the one in the picture while plowing up a field that had been in alfalfa for years. Remember, this is the middle of the desert not ideal farm country.

Last guy I worked for we used a couple of 14 bottom plows and I can't even remember how many heads there were on that planter but it stretched out into the sunset. At harvest time the 24 row corn head came out on the big Cat Combine. Three semi's and four gravity wagons and we still couldn't keep up with that combine.
