I have a 7 shank Hoeme and it is a dream. I think the factory was in Amarillo, TX.
What I like about it is that the tongue is long enough that you can get the plow to work this black gunbo (when wet) when dry and it just hangs in there. It is not spring loaded; it has shear pins and I like that because it is forced to dig, not give way when doing it's jub.
I have tried the kind you see pictured by Mr. Howell, but he is in sandy loam and I'm not and they just bounce across the ground due to no tongue here. However, for cultivation of already plowed soil they will work here.
I don't have sweeps on it, I have chisels, about 2" wide and bury them around 6 -8" when the soil is right. It gets below the hard pan built up by discing and cultivators (sweeps on another plow) cultivating. I pull it with a 57 PTO tractor in mid gear and reduced rpm. I don't pull it fast as I want to give the soil time to work for me, not against me.
I leave the soil dug up through the winter to pulverize it and to capture any rain available.
I personally don't think they would do much good in sand as I'd assume you have no hardpan to breakup.
