Hey all,
I've borrowed a neighbor's 2-bottom plow. It might be a JD but it's had some of its hardware removed. I've got it hooked to a homebuilt 3-pt hitch (probably modeled after a saginaw) that has two lift cylinders and I have a third cylinder serving as my toplink. All cylinders are one-way, lift only.
This is the very first time I'll be using a plow, period. I don't have any tractors to look at as an example so I'm turning to you folks. I only have to plow enough for a garden plot - 40 x 20. Can I plow with this without screwing up my 3-pt hitch? I would imagine I need to hook up some sort of side stay to keep the plow from tracking to the left, following the direction of the plow points. If I run a stay from the right side lift point on the plow to the right of the 3-pt hitch (near where the base of the right lift cyl is attached there looks to be a bolt hole for this purpose) it looks like I'll hit the side of that right lift cylinder. It does look like I can slide the whole plow rig one way or the other on the bar that goes between the two lift points.
This is also my first time putting up a post with pictures so I hope they show up - apologies if you're looking at nothing.

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
