if you're plowing something like an existing hay field, the coulters will give you a nice slice through the sod layer and a nice sharp line.
... of course, where you're just playing, and if you're not taking pictures, and you don't have an audience judging your plow skills - I'm not sure it really matters. The sod's going to give way either way.
If you're soil's anything like around here in MA, you're going to hit so )#(*$# many rocks anyways that a nicely sliced sod layer is going to be the least of your concerns!
is it a "trip" plow? In other words, when you hook into a refrigerator sized rock, does it have some means of releasing? If not - go slow!
and one final word - nobody tells you this because it's funny when somebody else smacks their head on the steering wheel :) but I'll be nice and warn you: While plowing, hitting the clutch is equivalent to stomping on the brakes!
It can surprise you - especially if you're going at a good clip. What's easy to forget is that the tractor's doing a LOT of work to move you forward - and that plow is nothing more than a big anchor trying to stop you. Press the clutch and there's nothing moving you forward, and a whole lot of force stopping you. So be prepared for that!
