Well, N's are plowin' machines....that's what they were made for. I will assume that you have an 8N since you mention position control. 9N/2N's didn't have pos control..only draft control as they had the first 3 point hitch ever invented: ya had to start somewhere. As Bill and Mike said, draft control works best for anything below ground. It adjusts the hitch as you go so that the "pull" of the implement on the tractor is the same all the time. Position control is used for constant height above ground. However, since the N's don't have down pressure on the lift, it can still float a little bit up, even when position control is on. As far as plows go, most regions that have sandy soil just use a plain old 2 bottom plow. Clay and hard soils usually use a "slat plow". I don't know your area, but you may find that plowing will unearth some better soil under the sand. That's why you plow. You turn the old soil over and uncover new, fresh soil full of nutrients that is hidden below. As for snow plowing; just go with position control...most people do. The only thing draft will do for you there is to start to empty the load if the drag gets to be too much. Still, it's your call and it's fun to experiment! Enjoy and by all means, ask any and ALL questions. That's why we're here. Jeb2N
