After getting a good lesson on disc plows from you guys a few months back, I've been on the look out for one at a fair price...(and when I say fair price I mean fair to me and pretty much robbing the seller)...anyway, with my 641 Workmaster I've discovered that in my fine sandy loam, I can bust the ground up easily with my two bottom Ferguson plow and I was able to drop the shanks on my box blade to level everything out and create a seed bed.

I'm in fine sandy loam and just using it to dress up the ground thats already been broken. The 5 shanks on my box blade did good, but of course clogged up on the two outside tines that are closest to the box.
