Thanks for the advice about cleaning up the plow guys. Switched up from a drill mounted wire cup brush to an angle grinder mounted one (a knob cup brush, to boot). Spent about 2 hours total between yesterday and today on it. Took it out and plowed with her. It was a bit wet, but we've got a week of rain rolling in, so I wanted to get it churned now.

Worked up and leveled out pretty well, except one spot where I had the traction boost set poorly and it just skimmed the surface and didn't really dig in. But for a garden plot, I am quite pleased.
I did have one pass where when I picked the plow up, the front end of the tractor started to come up instead. Not exactly a thrilling experience there, but I got it handled in short order. :shock:
