Dear Mack, The reason we have not answered is we need to be sure what you mean. The word plow means several things: a moldboard turning plow with "bottoms", or a multi disk plow with cup shaped rolling cutters that flip the dirt over and are ganged similar to the mold board plow, or a chisel plow with multiple shanks that penetrate the ground (maybe 7-9")in a pattern and tear up the soil with direct action of the chisel points. Most other tillage equip. is a field cultivator, which is like a chisel plow but has sweeps on the shanks and usually is pulled shallower than a chisel plow, or a disk harrow. A disk Harrow has gangs of cup shaped disks arranged (usually) so that two gangs are in front throwing soil a bit outward, and two gangs in the rear throwing soil a bit inward. If a moldboard, it pulls what is called a 2-14plow If a Disk plow, 2-16" disks is all it will pull. If a chisel plow, it will do 5-6' (about 10 shanks) at modest depth. If a field cultivator, it will handle 6-7' of shanks at modest depth. If a disk harrow 8' is all it will want to pull. The opinions on the above info are for medium soils that have been tilled in the past. In sod, or heavy clay, they are optomistic. Others may have differing opinions, but I use Hs and now that were new when I was born in 1949. our soil is medium loam, and in some fields, blue/yellow clay. I hope this helps. JimN

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
