720 plow

Is it worth the extra money for a spring reset over the toggle trip?  I haven’t had much issue in the past with the 311 fast hitch plow tripping the bottoms.

What are you plowing in?

If rocky, I wouldn't go without spring reset. Which in my part of Michigan. The land of a trillion rocks it is a necessity. 

If you are blessed without rocks. You will be fine without.

I haven't seen a spring reset plow around here unless it was imported. We are lucky not to have rocks.

Depends on which end of the farm. One end there are very few rocks, the other end looks like rocks are the crop.

I plowed with both. Hands down in Pennsylvania automatic plows are the best. I backed up a trillion times before and it isn't fun.I am amazed at the flat, out west or loam soils that there isn't a rock in sight.

Automatic reset you will wonder how you got along without it before

  Definitely buy a SAR equipped plow.

Auto reset for sure. Doubt there was ever a plow sold here without auto reset once it became available.

Sometimes my 720's trip so often it sounds like a machine gun back there, I couldn't imagine backing up that many times.

  Not too long after we got our JD 2800 SAR plow I was out plowing northeast of the barn.  The neighbor stopped by and was wondering who the crazy person was playing with the shotgun.

I got a IH 720 plow first year they were released 5 18 on a 1066 toggle. my dad got a 6 18  couple of years later. we don't have a lot of rocks  but if you do go auto reset.  my neighbor a JD guy went straight to a IH dealer  and bought a 720 5 16 plow. There were hundreds of IH 720 plows pushing  JD tractors in thr corn belt.

  Now with that response I have to buy one.  Would not want to be accused of being inhospitable by not having one should you ever stop by.
