Roll over plow or semi- mount plow?

I currently have a JD 3 bottom 18" mold board plow. All my fields surrounded by fences, and it gets real tight alot of the time. I have found a JD 3 bottom mounted roll over plow. All I have ever used is a semi-mount how do the two compare on plowing. I am really tired of having to plow one side of the field and then go to the other side and plow takes up alot of time and diesel. Also hate the huge valley you get in the middle of the field when your done, and then I have to take more time to fill the valley in by going the oppisite way and ending up with two small furrows that I can fill in with the disk. I am pulling it with a kubota 9540 4x4.
 
I use a rollover.We flood irrigate.A rollover will leave a 'flat' field.Start on one side,go back and forth.No dead furrows or crowns.A twoway is heavyer than a oneway,you will need some wt on the front.I pull an IH #642 (4x16) with a 1256,and a IH#314(3x14 or 4x14)With a turbo 706.
 
Thanks I have a front end loader that adds quite abit of weight and if I need more I can just fill the bucket with dirt. My Semi mount is easy to setup are the mounted plows hard to setup?
 
No.They need to be 'leveled' side to side.top link to level front to back.easy.the plow will have leveling screws.(or hooks if an #825,835)I can advise...
 
Ok sounds good thanks for the advice! I'm not sure of the model, but I know it has a tire that flips when you flip the plow. I have seen alot that don't have a tire on the rear.
 
Plowing one side of a field and then the other, or do you mean each round you go from one side of the field to the other? What is your plowing pattern? I've farmed with everything from a 3-16 to a 6-18 before going to a disk chisel, and no matter what size plow, just strike out land of 8-10 rounds and strike out another, twice the distance away, plowing together, then plow 'out' to fill in between lands. Sure, rollover plow eliminates the dead furrows, but they aren't common, and certainly not necessary. Dead furrows? just drop the front of a semi-mount for a near full cut, drop the back to feather the field level. No dead furrow left after that.
 
Here is how we do our ploughing in Ireland...We have very small fields but we still all use reversible ploughs....

I live in eastern TN and most of out fields aren't more than 10 acres so everyone I know around me and also the way I was taught is to start one the left side of the field plow a strip throw the dirt towards the center of the field. Go to the other side of the field plow another strip then turn back in your furrow you just plowed and through the dirt back so you don't have dead furrows on the edge of the fields, and then go to the other side and do the same then go from on side to the next plowing once you get in the center you have two dead furrows together so reverse plow and to fill the furrows in ending up with two small dead furrows to fill in with the disk. Unless you have a roll over plow.
 
Quit plowing. Maybe once every 10 years. Minimum till or no till. Chisel plow, heavy disk and a no-till planter.

Dont let the soil wash down the creek.

Its just the opposite here never see one way plows.They are all two way "flip" plows or switch plows.I cant imagine doing it any other way start on one side work to the other.
 
The problem with the switch hitter plows is that you have to work alone. Nobody can be following your furrow! :lol:

A properly set plow with a good draft control doesnt need a gauge wheel.I've owned a couple plows that did'nt have gauge wheels.they plowed the same as those that did.
 
I never had a roll-over but I had a fully mounted 3 bottom and that was really a handy plow in small fields. As jms said I have never seen a roll-over plow here in Mn. Not sure why. Maybe because they must cost twice as much as a conventional plow and we don't have a lot of money here in Mn.
