Subject: Re: plowing sod



If you're only going to be plowing a few acres you can do it without coulters but I would recomend them if you're going to be plowing several acres. Like others have said they will save the shins. We always set the coulters about 1" above the point of the share & slightly to the land side.

Agree with others, IH 710/720 plows are the best. 720 has a little more clearance as the trip mechanism was moved to the top of the beam on them compared to below the beam on the 710s.

Severak years ago I plowed up an old pasture. Even with a 710 there was more pieces of sod left on top than I cared for. I took a disc & disced the sod then plowed it. Turned over like a garden with no chunks of sod on top.
