The last few years we've renetd a disc chisel in the fall for corn, but this year everything is getting turned with the moldboard. We always plow under the old hayfields after we decide to put them in corn. We'll take the 1st crop off and then hit it with the plow.
We've tried the chisel plow a couple times with very limited success on turning old alfalfa into corn. 1 pass doesn't kill it all, and if you work it 2x with the chisel, you might as well do it 1x with the moldboard. Our 4 bottom has a harrow on it so it makes a pretty nice level field when it's done.
I have even noticed that over the last few years, some of our more stubborn/hard fields have been mellowing out a little bit, but I'm a little bit older now and can wait to get out there till it's dry. 2 passes with the cultivator and it's ready for corn. 3 and it's ready for oats/alfalfa again.
Some of the bigger guys are getting into the plow a little more again, and other's never gave it up. All of the farmers around here still use their plow to some extent, but chisel plows are still pretty common.

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
