There's a pretty good description of the plowing procedure in the back of the 8N operator's manual.
Beyond that, the basic operation would be to set your top link to a length where the plow points don't dig in too deeply nor too shallow. "IF" your draft control is working properly, the plow show pull evenly through the dirt with out burying itself or riding up out of the furrow and skimming along on top of the ground. If you have a 9N or 2N your draft control is the default condition. On the 8N, set the position control lever(under the right front corner of the seat) to the horizontal position. To open a land, the plow should be tilted to the left with the leveling crank.(If you look at the plow sitting on the ground, you'll notice that one side's lift pin is higher than the other. That's on purpose) After the land is opened the plow should be readjusted back to level.The leveling crank has a mark on the shaft to indicate when it's level. When you drop your right front wheel in the first furrow, you may have to adjust the arm slightly up or down to get the dirt turning over just right. Also your moldboards should be clean and will eventually become scoured bright and shiny, at which point they will pull easier. The shares should be sharp and the plow width adjusted so that the 2 plows will turn the dirt over evenly. If your furrows are not evenly spaced, the field will look "lumpy." If you could find an old-timer in your neighborhood, I'm sure plowing lessons could be arranged.
