Never had any luck plowing 2 times in a season. Most especially sod. It only plugs up the plow & makes a mess the second time. 'Round here you plow in fall, let winter mellow the lumps, disk & harrow it in spring. Today with the bigger tractors & clearance, a field cultivator with a harrow bar is the only secondary tillage used - much better than a disk 90% of the time. Might not find a usable one for a small tractor tho. Not typical on a pasture, but he might have a hardpan - esp if this is clay soil. That is the only time it's a help to go real deep in the ground, and then with a ripper of some sort, and then only every few years. Hardpan is a compacted layer an inch or 2 thick that roots, water, or nothing can penetrate, it forms about 8 inches deep where clay particles settle in the ground & about cement themselves. It is often the line between topsoil & subsoil. Heavy traffic i wet soil or always plowing to the same level will form it moreso. --->Paul
