The 6 bottom plow we used had spring loaded latches. The bottoms were held in place by spring tension. When you hit a big enough rock the bottom would pivot back and up going over the rock. Backing up reset the bottom.

I have never seen this on a small plow. The smaller a tractor the less chance there is of busting something when you do catch a rock. Maybe drive with you foot on the clutch, if you are quick you might be able to keep it from killing the engine.

On the other hand if you are into fabrication it might be a fun thing to make and have. Maybe even used some bits from a junked plow headed for the scrap.
