The size of the plowshare determines the width of the cut and the amount of soil turned over by the moldboard plows. The tillage should not exceed 80% of the width of the strip of land cut. Moreover, the working depth should be between 60 and 80% of the width of the ploughshare used on the moldboard plow.
