on a 50 or 60 plow the rear bottom by the slip heal has a floating "shoe". What is the need for that part?

I always thought it was called a "shock shoe" to absorb the shock of just letting the plow drop at headlands. But I'm old and dumb, so that may not be right.

That may be right! I wasn't sure what it was for.

That arm under the last bottom is a "shock shoe" it was to keep from breaking the Cast Iron plow shares.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.

I agree, in the owners manual it calls it a shock shoe, does not say the purpose but that is what I have been told for 60 years.
