You either break something or the plough leg trips. My aim is to get a soil cover to allow mowing which is why discing is sometimes better. If we starting digging up every stone then it would take ages and have even bigger heaps than we have. Some fields here been ploughed many times and we still catch big stones so try to leave them under the surface if possible. We always start being a bit fussy then end up just picking stones bigger than your head or if 2 passes with the roller will not sink them
