I remember as a boy growing up on an Arkansas cotton - soybean farm we always thought that you had to moldboard plow every year to prepare a good seedbed. We had two pretty much equal Farmall M's which pulled 3 bottom 14-inch little genius plows. We generally plowed in 3rd gear (Sometimes 4th in extremely light soil). One of the M's had rice and cane tires and the other had low tread tires. I remember in plowing together that the low tread tractor would plow at a little faster speed because it had less tire slippage than the tractor equipped with the rice and cane tires. Low tread tractor tires put more surface area to ground than rice and cane and were much more efficient in normal soil conditions. We would probably wear out two sets of rice and cane tires to one of the low tread tires due to tread wear.
