The problem with a three point hitch tillage implement with no draft control is that the implement can't "float" with ground contour changes that would cause it to go too deep or too shallow. One minute you're barely touching the ground, the next minute you're "down to the beam" and your tractor is struggling. Draft control helps to correct these changes and keep a more constant working depth. Anyway I think if you have some good gauge wheels on the plow ,you may do ok. You would need to just use the hydraulics to raise and lower the plow and the gauge wheels would control the depth. THis is essentially what happens with a trailing plow.

Someone mentioned that plows weren't meant for three point hitches. If the tractor does have draft control, they are a much more compact and maneuverable plowing outfit than the same sized tractor with trailing plow. IMO the trailer plow does a nicer job, especially if a novice like me is behind the wheel!!
