M & W offered a curved coulter . First i ran them was way back when i first started on my first plow and that was a 311 I H fast hitch , they worked great to stop the plugging when plowing down corn stalks , when i bought my 540 semi mounts i found one more and took the three off the 311's and installed them on my new to me 540s , the 540's had two cover boards the one above and in the shank and one on the end of the moldboard . . One thing about metal cover boards is that unless they are as shiny as the moldboard our dirt will stick like glue and cause plugging problems more with a low clearance plow . Next is Speed if you are not plowing at the wright speed or the soil is to wet it does not roll wright Now i am no expert on all the plows made as i have only ever owned I H plows and on them you had High speed bottoms and low speed bottoms , the older plows were mostly low speed bottoms and did a fine job at 3-4 MPH and the high speed bottom worked better at speed of 4-6 mph if ya had the pony power to haul them . If you are dragging the plow then your not getting the soil to flip like you want it to but if you can RUN with the plow it will roll the dirt far better . Then there is getting your plow set for your tractor and leveled . In our soil type with the soil just wright meaning not to dry and not to wet when the speed was wright along wwith the harrow i had mounted on my semi mounts the only thing needed discing was the dead furrow and the head lands and it was fit to plant . Moving up from the 450 D to a 706 gasser going from 3 rd. gear in second year corn ground with the 450 to 1st high on the 706 with the same plow made it even better. In sod most times it was 2n with the 450 and still first high with the 706 and a far better job of cover .
