Coulters. cutoffs.

Saw a Ford plow advertized . Ad said no coulters. What are the coulters for?? Also, I have read many tractor ads that mention cutoff wheels. What are those?? Not a farmer, just curious.

Coulters are the round disks that cut the sod so the plow can lay over a nice furrow

Cutoffs is a common term used to describe rear tractor wheels that were once steel lugs but have had the steel spokes cut off and welded to rims for rubber tires.

Also useful for cutting through corn stalks or other trash, so it doesn't plug up the plow.

Yeah, sometimes coulters can be a hastle. like the guys said, stalks, root balls, misc. trash, they are suppose to cut it, so the shin of the plow will make a clean straight edge. In places where the soil will keep a an edge. Where you are, the soil and most crops won't bother you turning ground, so -especially in the hard sunbaked years, coulters will actually keep you from doing a good plowing job. cool looking if you are showing off the plow, and not using it but don't worry about 'needing' them.
