I cleared some land a few years ago, and of course, you don't get all the roots, so it can be a real job to plow for the first time. A wise old guy in the neighborhood advised me to buy every 2 bottom JD tag-along plow I could for $50 each (I ended up with 3), hook it to a break-away hitch, make sure my break-away remotes were working, and have at it. If you break a $50 plow, it won't break your heart as well. It turned out to be excellent advice- several times, without warning, I hooked a root- the hitch coupling snapped like a rifle shot, followed closely by the hydraulic hoses making a sound much like a champagne cork- all before I even knew what was happening. I broke one plow in the process, and parked that one in the woods and hitched up another. Still have the other two. Wound up selling that place, a decision I still regret.
