Hard to say if the disc will do anything,good chance it may ride on top. I would agree with the advice given, but I'm no expert, moldboard plowing is still common around here. I have seen a 5 bottom, that with good shares(that I put on) would not penetrate when it was too dry in the spring, which was kind of odd, but we do get dry ones sometimes.
Late last summer, we had very dry conditions for here, borderline drought, the soil was baby powder dry. I decided to plant some oats for forage, food plots & deer. My 101 2 bottom ford, needed shares, but it did penetrate well enough to work, I had some adjusting to do that probably was the culprit, but it turned sod/weed areas that were not turned since the mid 80's, and it was like baby powder, I could not believe I was making dust with a moldboard plow, I have photos, no time to upload and post though. Soils are loam, little clay, heavy top soils etc. Other areas I have been working, turned the same, the field that the farmer has been planting was real hard though, it would not bite in, maybe the shares would have made it happen, but I will say, it was dry and hard regardless.

It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
