Technically, you're supposed to do an opening split, with the last furrow only, and turn these furrows away from each other to create a dead furrow. Then set the plow up for regular plowing, and simply turn the splits back over and in, and keep on going. I never bother with the split. Just drop the plow and go. IF the plow is set correctly, it shouldn't be a problem. If it isn't set up correctly, then.... well... it's a mess. It will leave some ridge. I also keep the crowns narrow enough that I'm not wasting time driving on the headland. Just whip around and go back. Might be 3 or 4 crowns on the width of most of my fields. When I get to the edge of the field, I simply plow the last 4 or 5 trips around the perimeter IN. Keeps from throwing the soil out and away. Some guys around me plow them out..... Everybody's different. Also, I generally just fill the dead furrows with the disc. I also drag an "I" beam behind the disc, so that helps level and smooth a lot. FWIW, Rod
