Colter Question
I've seen quiet a few turn plows for sale on eBay, the vine and other sites. I've noticed about half of them are missing the Colter. Sometimes the Colter is pictured with the plow unattached. Why! Is there some other use for it other than on a plow? Was the Colter available as an option for use on a plow? Hopefully someone can shed a little light on this for me. Thanks, Tom.

Re: Colter Question
If you plow trash like corn stubble it will clog the plow up and just create a huge mess. People remove the colters and it eliminates most of the area that clogs up.
Also colters are mainly used to cut sod when plowing new ground. They aren't totally necessary when turning under previously plowed ground like a yearly garden spot so I guess people could have removed them for that reason. Also they require proper adjustment which is sometimes hard to do without a helper. You pretty much have to clamp them into postiton and have 2 free hands to tighten the bolt. If they aren't right they won't work.
