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!

After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve.
