GWT, First of all No one here in Texas, Moldboards except a few ol Blackland cotton/corn farmers when the repull their terraces to keep them in shape. You ONLY need 2 pieces of equipment to cover the bases.
1st a Chiesel Plow, for you can break up the land from different directions. Plow one way the go at it from a different angle to rip it up and loosen it deeper then the first pass.
2nd a Disk either Tandem or Offset. Again plow in opposing directions to optimize the plowing action of the soil and getting the old crop residue fully incorperated.
I farmed in the High plains or over 10 years. my people had an ol 3 botton spinner. I NEVER saw it pulled, Never Pulled it myself in the entire. time I was there. Since the time I left to now the practices has gone to minium,strip-till farming the last I knew of it, it was being used to prop up a corner post for electric fence by the NH3 storage tank.
Yor 400 Lp will handle a chiesel and disk that is just about one ft wider than the rear wheels now.
Hollar at me and we can visit when you get time.
Later,
John A
