I just acquired a three point hitch disc plow. I could use some tips or pointers on the proper way to use it. Heard the old timers call it a one way plow. Will be using it to disc an old hay pasture.

We had a different system of naming them. You have a disc plough, fine. The one way we are familiar with is called a discer on the Prairies, some called them a disc tiller, some called them a one-way disc harrow. The disc plough usually has the same number of discs as the number of furrows you would pull with a mouldboard plough, whereas a one way, usually had something like a 24 inch disc cutting six inches wide and maybe three or four inches deep, just to fl;ip the top over and take the weeds like thistles with it.

Here are a few things:
Make sure you have plenty of front end weight, a disc plow will turn you around in a heartbeat if it hangs into something. Make sure you get it level fore and aft and side to side, otherwise it'll make steering tough and you will have a hard time plowing straight. Take it easy at first, feel it out, disc plows are sometimes harder to pull than moldboard plows of the same cut. They also leave the ground rougher. They do not cause hardpan as easily, and best of all, they don't choke up in vines and heavy trash. My $.02. Karl
