Kelly: There is no way to control the depth without that second hydraulic cylinder. Sod plowing will be a disaster.

Were you ever in the military? I have a good story for ex military men. A retired career military man bought a house near my farm. He then bought a Farmall SC and a very worn 2x14 trailer plow. Man did that guy ever make a mess of his back 40. What most novice farmers can't understand is plowing is precission work. The plow is a very complex implement, and must be adjusted exactly. Back to my neighbor, after three years of digging holes he offered me the ground free of charge if I could once again get it smooth. I decided to plow it, he had holes 2 feet deep. As I was leaving that evening he and the missus were sitting on the patio and invited ne in for a beer. I said to the missus," You are familiar with the bible story of the smithy beating plow shares into swords and back to plow shares after the battle." She was quite familiar with the bible story. I said," You know when the smithy beats these swords back into plow shares, I've come to the conclusion it shouldn't be given back to a military man." She laughed heartily, he thought I was only marginally funny.

If you want to do good plowing, you must have precise settings. If you don't do good plowing your soil will get so rough you will need a seat belt in 2nd gear on 400. You may think you have it smooth at planting time, but like potholes in a gravel road the plowing holes will return.
