Soil rolled over better in one direction than the other, was plowing on a gentle side slope which had an effect on sideways orientation of the plow depending on the direction of travel. it took 2-3 passes to get the hitch set so that when rolling uphill the leading share overlapped the furrow about an inch and would consistently roll the sod over completely. This meant going the other direction the share overlapped the furrow maybe 3"+. I took the time to get the wheels and hitch set right and used a sanding wheel to polish up the moldboard before starting.
Like I said earlier, I spent a lot of time riding on the drawbar of our 720D growing up but that was 20+ years ago. I still have fond memories of running behind in the furrow or riding along and believe it or not still was able to remember how dad did it after thinking about it a bit.
Even if the sweetcorn experiment is a total bust giving my kids the experience of riding on the drawbar and running behind the plow in the furrow it was worth every minute and every dollar spent.
The cherry bomb muffler was there when the tractor adopted us. The hood and fenders are nice and straight, front side curtains are missing, rears are there but not real straight. I want to get the right muffler and stack on it one of these days but it sounds real good with the cherry bomb, not loud at all. My 11 year old took some video on my phone and the gear whine was far more pronounced than the exhaust.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
