I've seen 710 plows with and without auto reset.

What does auto reset do? Is it worth the extra money?

In the soil we have and with the rocks we have I couldn't get by without auto reset. I have a White plow w/ resets and it works well. If I didn't have it I would have to reset the plow about 20 times per hour. There are spots where they are reseting about 50 times per pass. Auto resets sure have saved me alot of backing up, which is hard on a tractor too.

Michael: All IH plows after the mid 1960 have trip bottoms. On most of the early ones you had to reset them. There a few with shear bolts, very few, they didn't catch on. There was also a spring latch, worked very well, and was probably most common. To reset you had to back the tractor and plow with plow down until it latched. There was a toggle trip that worked similar to the spring trip. Then the automatic reset controlled by hydraulics, when one plow bottom tripped you don't even need to stop. After the plow passes the obstacle that it to trip, it automatically resets. I have seen these work but never used one. The advise we were getting back in the 60s and 70s, is if plowing in your soil conditions only tripped bottoms a dozen or less times per day, the extra money for auto reset wasn't worth it. I just forget exact amount now but it added quite a bit to cost of a new plow. How costly they have been to maintain I couldn't tell you. There are guys on here that use them. I was lucky, I have plowed all day without tripping a bottom.
