Why do you say that? What age plow are you talking about? ANY old plow will plug in today's trash with few exceptions no matter the amount or size of bottoms. If the bottom is cutting what it's designed to cut per bottom I don't think one is any worse than another. They will all give you headaches in a modern field. Of course I'm talking about un-chopped corn ground. My Oliver 4-16" semi-mount does it's share of plugging in corn ground. But then I don't sharpen my coulters the way they are supposed to be. So the amount of maintenance has a direct bearing on the amount of plugging too. As for cutting down a plow , my opinion is that it's not the best idea but I've never done it. There are plenty of convertible plows around that are designed to change the size of cut and number of bottoms. My 565 Oliver is a case in point. It can cut 14', 16" and be a three bottom up to a six bottom plow all in one frame with the right parts. I like it. Newer plows work even better I'm told. My plow cost $500. I bought a different one in similar condition for $300 but sold it the same day.
