Chris -- Yeah, that was news to me too. I think I just accidentally figured it out while plowing in 2018, but it was working good for me the other day. I hit some hard clay and I could feel it dig in and pull good. Hoping to get back out in the field this weekend.

Yeah, the "flap disc" is those round discs that are made up of multiple pieces of sandpaper on an angle stacked together.



It worked a little better than the knob cup brush, but it probably removes more material as well.

I know the one time I plowed some sod with this plow, it rolled it over nicely, I assume thanks to the cover board at the top? So many plow styles, and I don't know much about them at all. Wish we had some plow days this year!

jaybmiller -- Oh yeah, I am hoping from here on out if I keep it greased then maybe a cup brush would be all I need. I don't want to fight with a flap disc any more than I have to!

GG,
 Thanks for the picture. I have used those for sanding many times too. I just never called them a flap disc, not sure what I called them. That may be the correct name. I had something else in mind. Actual flaps spinning out from a drum like wheel, that might go on a drill.  These ones your showing work good but seem to clog quickly for me.
Keep plowing!:)
Regards,
Chris
