Mike, The most enjoyable thing at a plow day is to just drop the plow in the ground, choose a gear where the tractor doesn't have to labor, adjust the plow "deep enough", set the throttle, release the clutch and ENJOY! Keep in mind you are doing what thousands of old iron lovers would like to be doing.
I organize a plow day every year and we have 45-55 tractors (all 1959 & older) and it's just fun to watch them do their work. I tell the drivers before plowing that they should NOT tailgate; if that front driver stops then you might end up right into his plow. If I see someone hotrodding while spectators are standing close by enjoying the show, that driver will not be invited next year...one bad accident and we are done with our fun day.
If you feel you have to compete for speed, then you either are with the wrong plow day group, or you are missing the whole point of having a nice enjoyable day.
My dad once told me "Remember that some big company built your tractor, you didn't. Why feel that you have to "prove" your machine is faster than another brand? That company will never pay you a reward for showing the world what your tractor can do."
Enjoy that plow day. Those days are a gift from God. You will be judged by your peers on how nice a guy you are and how good a job you did plowing.

Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
