Land plows work on tractors, but they are the first to have to leave the field when it gets muddy and have traction issues even with 8 big tires. The furrow provides the tractor excellent traction with a differential lock and left side duals. Personally, I do not think they are that great, especially on two wheel drive tractors like Cubs.
To provide some back ground on this, I was helping a farmer plow his field while the ground was frozen, there were three tractors:
4 wheel drive articulating Tractor with a land plow
Front wheel assist tractor with a furrow plow
2 wheel drive tractor with a furrow plow
When the ground started to thaw, the 4 wheel drive tractor was the first to go, there was little traction in the mud and no tires in the furrow. Then, the 2 wheel drive tractor could stay in the field due to traction in the furrow, but it also got too muddy. The Front wheel assist tractor lasted the longest.
