this has been talked about before, but I can't find it or remember why: what is the difference (well I know the difference by looking at them), but why the slat plows over the solid? or why was the slat plow made?

For my uncle and I the slat moldboard allowed the gumbo clay to slide off the board and not stick. In the sandier ground it worked great too.

Less moldboard = less sticking, less friction and easier pulling.
Thanks & God Bless

I think they were used around here for muck ground.

My understanding is the advent of poly moldboards made the slat bottom obsolete.

I have a 73 SC plow w/ regular moldboards set for 16in.I had another 73 plow W/ slats set the same as far as pulling them I couldn't tell much difference. But the slats were no good for turning sod up hill.

I had the chance to buy a 3-pt mounted 4-btm slat plow,, but passed as I didn't know if they were a specialty plow or not!
