What a good topic. I have a an old John Deere 3 bottom attached plow. I think it was a five originally, but cut the last two bottoms off. I think that the bottoms are 22" wide. My MF 175 can only pull it with two bottoms attached. In clay, it moves the front end of the tractor out of the ground and to the right- back up and try again less deep. My landside is also worn to a sharp point. When it engages the soil, it moves hard to the left against the check chains. I know that it is probably not set up right. I need to post a picture, perhaps you all could I.D. it so I can get an operators manual. It moints to the three point with a solid bar for the lower arms. One side is higher than the other, and is adjustable. Is this the adjustment, with a new landside, that will take care of the hard pull to the left? I assume that I shouldn't have to fight it so hard to plow. Should the plow pull behind the tractor without pulling hard on the check chains? It also lacks coulters. I try to disc first, to break the sod, then plow. This is old pasture I am planting hay in (Perennial peanut and bermuda. Mainly sandy with some clay. Some flint too, I'm glad the trips still work! Sorry for being long winded.
