I am near La Crosse WI or Western WI. The soils here change a lot. Lower flats can have really nice soils you see here. Hillsides and even ridge tops can have some pretty nice soils in one area and heavy clay in another. I was on a ridgetop triangle field like that last night. Nice crumbly soil in one spot and in a few feet really heavy clay. The clay is pretty wet yet but it is June and it has to go if at all possible.
There is a lot of strip farming in this area due to the slops. The roll-over plow is perfect for that. It all needs to be plowed uphill. In this area the roll-over plow is thought of a strip farming tool. People don't equate it to the super flat surface irrigated fields many of you are familiar with. A roll-over plow is pretty rare around here because not much plowing is done any more and I suppose when plowing was in use the roll-over plow was to expensive for farmers.
There are springs coming out of the hillsides and ridge tops due to being so wet. I don't understand the underground hydraulics but water can be forced to the surface in the most unlikely places. I found one on that very field in the picture.
Wow, I would of liked to see that JD Semi-mount roll-over plow. I think I have seen a picture of one once before in a JD Brochure.

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
