Even though not asked, (;>)) I will offer some views. It really depends on what you're turning over. Heavy trash like cornstalks, or old alfalfa sod, or short corn stubble, etc. and what you want the field to look like afterward. When I was in school studying Agriculture this ranged from a nice evenly plowed and completely turned over field with no trash showing to the new idea of leaving a trashy appearance to prevent erosion. Particularly if plowing in the fall and waiting until spring for any additional tillage. I remember John Deere offering different style bottoms and moldboards to accomplish different styles of plowing. Now, they don't even make a moldboard plow. Some, around here in Central Siberia, liked the Kverneland style as it did a nice complete job of rolling over just about anything. My organic neighbors use two big moldboard plows and plow as fast as they can and then work once and plant to beat the weeds. Otherwise, I don't see any moldboard plowing anymore. Times do change but in some ways they come back at you. I know a farmer in Illinois who had been comletely no-till farming for over 25 years and now he's back to moldboard plowing. Ten inches deep, to get all the fertilizer he's been applying over the years down to where the plants can get to it. Particularly P & K.
