Plowing in a square?

There's a little produce farm I pass periodically. Guy was plowing under a patch of cover crop, maybe an acre, with a Kubota and a one bottom 3 point plow. He was working his way towards the middle in a square, throwing the soil to the outside. I know back in horse drawn days, some sulky plows were designed to make short turns to plow in a square, but I've never seen anyone do it with a tractor. It looks like doing it that way gives him a minimal dead furrow in his vegetable patches.
 
Exactly. If he's using a little tiny disk behind that same little tiny tractor,
he's going to need a lot of time to make it all smooth.
 
All depends on how he's gonna do it. If you turn a circle to the right as you lift the plow on each corner it will drag enough dirt in to fill the furrow.
 
I read in a Ford 9n owners manual a description on how to plow a field in a square like that. I've never seen anyone do it though.
 
When I bought this place there was a little hillside about an acre and the guy had someone plow a Square or slight rectangle and then apparently disappears and did nothing else.
It was all overgrown grass and weeds. First time I brush cut it down I nearly shook myself to death, you could t even plan where the rust and furrows were.

I waited until it softened up in the spring and then rototilled it and pushed the holes in with my excavator. What a mess.

It’s planted Christmas trees now and I mow rows with the lawnmower. About as good as it will get.
