Anyone have experience with mini-moldboards in place of standard moldboards on the plow? Do they work well in sod or alfalfa as far as turning the sod over so it doesn't flip back in the furrow?

The whole idea of the mini moldboard is to turn the soil slice on edge, not to turn it over. According to some doing that in corn ground allows it to raise more corn. Its not so good for sod to turn only up on edge.

Also it depened's on the make of the plow if it has high speed bottoms or low sped bottoms and the tractor being able to pull it at the correct speed. also cover boards help flip it . When i firs started out my first plow was a high speed bottom and i could not pull it fast enough . The plow i bought looked like my buddys same plow same number of bottoms just did not plow the same . Took a long time to figure out why . Did not matter what tractor pulled them if you could not haul them at 5+ mph then they did not lay the soil over and our old 450 D's would not make 5 MPH . Put that same plow behind a 806 stuff it 1st. high and it would plow so nice ya did not have to disc.

Hey TV I believe he is talking about these.

Is this what you are refering to also?

They are used mostly here in corn stalks to leave some trash on top.

They are made to order for any model plow you have.

No GaryAt one time they made a low speed bottom for the older tractors that would roll the soil better at low speeds and the high speed bottoms layed back a little more and if you were buying plows ya had look real close to see the difference . Way back on my first set of plows they had high speed bottoms and would not roll the dirt and when my buddy and i were in the same field my three farrows would stand out no matter how ya set the plow . I soon got rid of them for a set of 540 semi mounts that had the low speed bottoms like my buddy had . But when i went to my first 706they threw the dirt to far running high 1 So peddeled them off on another buddy that was dumb enough to buy a gray market deer and wanted to try them . Told him that once he layed down 550 buck rent he could plow all he want to and when he was done he did not have to bring them back or i should say i would not have to go and get them myself . then i bought the 710's Less cussen and fuden in corn stalks .

Alot of that depends on the soil type and the type of sod.

But for the most part it will not roll over very well and you will have a lot of sod remaining on top.
