Yes, rain, rain, go away...
I only had the plow set to cut about 5 inches, but I plowed in 2nd gear, about 3/4 throttle which worked quite well, about 4MPH. I had some rough, gullied ground near the bushline where there was about 18 inches of variation in the ground height, so I plowed in first gear there, more for safety than anything. When things are drier, I'll try a heavier, deeper cut in my "practice" area and see how it works.
Note I'm missing the front coulter in the pics as I forgot to tighten the locking collar and it slipped off. It's amazing how much difference the coulter makes for the plow as it doesn't want to fold over the soil without the coulter cutting it. Learned alot this weekend!
