borrowed a 3 bottom snap coupler from a buddy of mine, plowed almost all afternoon with it in various fields. i have to say, it is very enjoyable, the ol WD-45 didnt even know it was back there.       |

| PLowing job looks good. It looks like the front bottom is in deeper than the back bottom. |

I agree with all the above. Great set up and great job.
The think that amazes me is the rich black earth you all seem to have. Does not even compare to the red clay rock we have in my area of Maryland.
Good Luck!

| Looks like an excellent job! Love to see that dark dirt. Mostly Clay here. Would probably make that WD-45 bark a little, especially with hills like that, which we have here too. |
