Something that's always bothered me about draft control is that when the going gets tough, it reduces the depth of the plow. So, instead of breaking up that hard-packed soil, the whole reason for plowing, it just skims over the top of it.
Surely the key is in setting the draft just right, so it doesn't lift too much in hard going or sink the plow too deep in easy going, but still, the whole concept seems counter intuitive.
On a semi-mounted plow, draft control only affects the front, so now you're also plowing at inconsistent depths.
Why then, is draft control "better?" Why did IH's development of effective draft control mean the death of small trailer plows?
