had to plow a garden in some 20 year old sod, took back plowshare off my 1939 Ford plow, front only kept plugging, took coulter off and plugging stopped, except for those tree roots and too many stones the plow then worked great

why do they put coulters on?

Try plowing cornstalks sometime without.... Heavy trash & you need them. In clay soils it makes the plow pull a little easier as well. If yours is worn way down, then it is more trouble than it is worth. Should be able to cut the full 7-8 inches deep to really work for you, 18-20 inch coulter. Most old used plows have a worn out useless coulter on them....

There are times it's better to take them off, as you found.

You will find other times you really need them.

How high off the point should the coulters run? I just plowed a couple of greenfields that had been bush hogged down and they clogged badly and rode the plow out of the ground. After getting on and off 6-8 times started running real shallow, say about 3-4 inches and did fine. It was a 3 X 14 Massey Harris plow. Wondered if they were set too low making the swivel on the coulters get down in that loose grass. Figured I might have been better off not to have bush hogged it first?

the disc is only the size of a Mrs. Smiths pie plate, might buy a full sized one, grind off the rivits and get it back to spec

thanks for the info
