Hoosierhog2,

Here's a couple of things that come to mind:

1. How deep are you plowing? If you're going more than about 4 - 6 inches the sod that you're turning over could end up pretty bumpy.

2. How fast are you going? If your ground speed is varying, you could end up with some sod that is turned over and some that isn't turned over completely.

3. What kind of ground are you plowing and how long has it been since it was last plowed? Clay or highly compacted soil will turn over very unevenly.

4. Are there roots in the ground from the trees? If so, they too will make the turn of the soil uneven.

Those cool photos of neatly plowed ground with straight furrows are usually in fields that are consistently plowed, disked, and dragged year after year so the soil turns pretty evenly.

You might not be doing anything "wrong", it might just be the conditions you're working in.

Good luck. Be patient. Disk it more than once to help smooth out the roughness. Drag it.
