A couple questions if you will Loren? About how many acres do you plow each year, and how long, or how many acres can you do before having to change some major iron on your plows? I wouldn't mind maybe getting back to plowing some of our farm ground, but dang, last time I checked, moldboards, points, frogs, cover boards, etc, are all pretty expensive. If I had to take a rough guess, I would think you would have $200-250 a bottom in a plow. That wouldn't be too bad if you could get 300 acres or more out of it, but soil saver teeth are pretty cheap, and I flip them halfway through ripping and can get a season out of a set of them.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
