Dunno Allan... Never really tried that, seriously. With the sod we have up here, it just laughs at a tandem disc. you can drive around on it all day, and not leave a mark. I've gone in with an offset in this sod.... and there's a few zealots around here that swear by that sort of thing.... but all I've seen from it was an expensive mess. I find that in a heavy sod, the best solution is a long board moldboard plow. I know you have the short stubble plow. I've made do with that too. But really, the easiest pulling, best turning plow I've seen is Kverneland. Long bottoms, long frame, and big trash clerance. I'm pulling 4 variable 12-20's with a 70 PTO hp NH TS90 MFWD at 4-5.5 MPH. Might fall under 4 mph in heavy clay sod. The biggest problem with that plow is dead weight. It's just shy of 1 metric tonne. Which equates to 700 #'s of cast (up front) and 4 loaded tires added to a 9200# base weight tractor, just to manage the plow.
Think if I was you right now, I'd just keep chugging away. You'll get there eventually. Personally, I think you have the wrong plow for the job, but ya got what ya got. BT/DT. Have fun. Rod
