Good advice, but don't let it all overwhelm you. Before you start plowing you should see if you can find any dead furrows left from the last time it was plowed. If you can find some signs of previous deadfurrows then just plow the field using them for markers. Just remember the least times you split the field the better because you will leave fewer dead furrows yourself. Just try to drop your plows and pick them up the same distance from your headlands that way when you plow your headlands a few quick passes will finish them up. Also leave enough room on your headlands to turn and reset inline with your furrow but not too much because headlands are a one way deal and you don't want to spend to much time driving around and around to finish them up. Bottom line is besides deciding where to strike out you just keep doing circles till its done. Good luck. Ps- don't get discouraged how hard and slow it is. When your plow gets shined up it will pull easier and the big thing is people tend to exagerate just how many bottom plows and how fast they did it years ago. I think you will have your hands full especially with the hard ground but you will get used to it.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
