Bill: If it's dry enough don't say never from plow striking a rock, although it's highly unlikely. I remember once in the forests of Nova Scotia. It had become so dry DNR cancelled all recreational travel in forests. The forest industry was still working, but each machine had to be equiped with a water tank. They had been off for a long weekend.

On the first morning back, an excavator started 6 fires travelling 500'. Those were started from tracks of the machine coming in contact with rocks. That probably created far more preasure between rock and steel than your 140 with plow would do.
