first thing is sod is always harder (but not impossible) to roll over nicely. next thing I noticed was plow depth. measure the center to center distance on the plow beams (not the length of the moldboard). yours is probably 12" or 14". general rule is plow depth is half the width of bottoms. good coulters adjusted correctly (about an inch to the left of the shin) make a neater cut. try tilting the plow (down) to the right, so it rolls the dirt a bit farther over (hope this makes sense). tail pieces on the out end of the moldboard sometimes help, as do coverboards. some plow bottoms are curved better for turning than others. I rate Allis the worst, but Fords are imho not so great either. I rank Oliver on top, with IH a close second. your soil looks quite dry and sandy, so it would tend to crumple rather than turn over in a ribbon anyway.
hope this helps. plow day here is scheduled for the weekend. my ground is already wet, with a day or 2 of rain in the forecast. trees are just starting to leaf.
