[AT] Plow share questions?

Dean:

That matches the information that I have, with the possible exception that
Ferguson notes that the narrow cut shares are for special situations, like
exceptionally hard soils or soils with a lot of small stones.  I wish I
lived closer to you, it sounds like you have the makings of a plowing party!
I'd love to bring my JD 630 with the 3-14 Pittsburghs out to play, or even
the 420 with the 2-12 Fergusons.  I'm hoping to plow up 3-4 acres of old hay
ground this summer for renewal, so I might get to play some too.

Have fun!

Thanks for the additional info. I think I am learning that a regular full
cut share extends past the moldboard a bit whereas a "clipped wing" or
"narrow cut" does not. I've learned that the full cut is used where when the
user is concerned about getting a complete root cut in instances like
plowing alfalfa. However, the narrow cut works well in most instances and
requires less power.
