Never heard them called harrow plows, but yes they were "good" at controlling erosion, compared to the moldboard and disk plow. I have never run one for more than a few rounds, but I understand they could be set to lay the stubble down without burying it. Problem is once the stubble is flat it will break down fast.

As to the disk plow (the one similar to the mold board), I have spent many hours on an H in 2nd gear pulling a 3 disk semi-mounted "breaking plow" with 24-32 inch disks, depending on how worn they were.
