Of the two plows in the pictures, the upper mold board plow doesn't work well here as it is very moisture dependent in this Houston Black Clay. If the clay gets any kind of moisture, which it normally has, it will gum up and you just have a big mess.
The disc "one way" plow works perfectly and at two bottoms for 30 ish hp tractors it fits well. For the larger tractors, JD makes one ways out to 16 or so discs.
Mostly what is used here is a disc harrow used as a plow for repeat tendering year to year, and a deep running chisel for new acreage or a periodic plow pan breakup for actively managed soil. For the MF 35 a 6' wide, 20 disc harrow (in two V shaped rows) works fine. The harrow will turn under surface vegitation but leaves the soil much smoother than a moldboard, especially if you drag a spike tooth or other type smoothing harrow behind it.
