I have an opportunity to buy a good used one way, but have never used one. I usually use a 3 bottom plow.
What is the difference between these two styles of plows? In what situation is a one way better....worse...
Thanks

One way disc plows were made by many companies in different sizes. Drag type and 3 point. Many of them were used in the wheat growing plains areas and were pulled in gangs, hooking several together. You plow around in a CCW direction and then go back and work the corners. Using one in very wet ground will pack the ground. Many stopped using them because when used too often they slick the ground off too much causing wind and water erosion. They are great for working in stubble and getting big weeds down and for throwing out volunteer crop. Some were even used with mounted planter boxes. If you got a MM one way I have some manuals for them.

Hi Glen,

Where are you Texas?? I'm up at Stratford in the top of the Panhandle...

What sort of MM plow manuals do you have??

Do you mean a true one-way or the old MM "sodbuster" disc plow??

I've got a big MM plow that looks a lot like a one-way, but is more like a breaking plow with disc blades - each blade is on a separate frog... I'd like to find a manual for it!

Thanks,
Howard Henderson

Between your post and Kevin's I get a picture of 2 different plows. I think of a Disk plow as independent disks with separate bearings mounted to a common plow beam. its used like a bottom plow.
I think of a "one-way" as more of 1/4 of a disk: a row of disks on a common shaft that is mounted in 2 or more bearings.
Actually, I've never seen one-way plows around here. The disk plow is (was, before no-till) used around this area in NC for rocky areas that will give a bottom plow fits if the feet don't trip. The disks have a greater tendancy to roll over (or sometimes around) rocks.

A disc plow works better on trashy soil and is for chopping up roots too.
