[AT] Non-member needs help in PA

[charlie hill]

I agree Cecil.  It also might help if he could pull the plow a bit faster.
A couple of other things, that looks like heavy soil.
If it's clay you need to know exactly when to plow it.
Too dry and you can't get the plow in the ground.
Too wet and you are stuck.  In between there is a sweet spot where the
clay will crumble but it has to be just right.
Also, it would have helped a lot if he had disked the field up good before
he tried to plow it.  That would cut the grass and roots up a bit and allow 
it
to roll over more freely.

Al:
When one of the members of that group said the sod is falling back in
the furrow, I could understand what I was seeing in the picture.  He
needs a moldboard extension.  There is usually 2 holes in the top of the
moldboard wing that you bolt these extensions on.   I found some on line
so you can get an idea of what they look like.
