Another Plowing Question

Good luck

As long as the ground is worked up now, I too would think about spraying it with Roundup, then disk it until the lumps are gone.

If you don't want to spray, I'd disk it to break up the lumps level it out, hope for some rain & time to make it solid ground again, & then plow it if it works. However, if it is still loose & lumpy in a month, you will quit plowing real quick, as it just plugs up on the old lumps!

I have been using a friend's for some time and finally located one for myself (see previous posts). Got some red-necking to do to make it functional for my use.

My moldboard plow is being reserved for "clean" ground meaning little or no buried stump materials. Generally use this for the garden spot and the U-Pick operation.

I have spoke with several older gents and the general assumption is that the disk plows were largely responsible for the Okla. Dust Bowl days due to deep cutting. Moldboard plows were less invasive and now in today's world we have "No-Till", "Strip-Till" etc. that even less invasive.

Lack of these in the market is probably due to the fact that they were replaced almost entirely by moldboard plows and balance of them were put under the scrap iron torch.
