I would NOT bush hog it down if it is only knee high. The rotary mower will make the grass into a bunch of small piece that the rolling cutter on your plow will have twice as much trouble cutting. Your plow will plug much more if you mow the grass first.
If you have a cover boards then the plow should turn it over easily. IF not then take a long piece of #9 wire about 4-5 feet long. Tie it to the plow frame so it folds the grass under the dirt as it is turned over. The end of the wire will be under the turned ground.
I repeat again. DO not MOW the grass first it makes it harder to turn under. Do not disk it either that makes the ground too loose on top and the coulters will not cut it then either.
I have plowed hundred of acres of sod. Just set our plow and it will turn it under. What do you think the mold plow was invented for??? Turning grass/sod under.
