There are two basic types of plows, fast turn, or stubble bottoms, and slow turn, or sod bottoms. the stubble bottoms have the share at a more aggresive angle to the ground, and the molboard is shorter with less curve, this configuration lets you travel faster, the material being turned is thrown to the gound harder and more straight down having a shattering effect which makes for less after tilling. I have a four sixteen Oliver plow with stubble bottoms that I pull with ease at six plus miles per hour in stubble and it does an excelant job,[the soil here is sandy clay, and I use an 806]. In sod, this plow pulls like a cat by the tail across the carpet, [just an expression],and the best speed is about four mph. Sod bottoms have a flatter share and a longer more curving molboard. Traveling too fast with these will toss the furrow too far instead of turning it over and laying it flat. These plows are patterned after the bigger and heavyer breaking plows. Their designs are very much the same because they cut roots and have to turn an unbroken strip of material. Of course all plows are not created exactly alike, and there are lots of differnt designs, the two types mentioned are more notably the extremes in designe with lots af variations in between. Hope I haven't confused or discouraged you in any way, this was not my intent .The plow is one piece of farm machinery that is probably the most missunderstood. Properly hitched with sharp shares and used for the conditions it was designed does not pull hard at all, but the extra power you might have is not at all detrimental, better too much than not enough. wishing you every success in your new indeavers G.
