If the draft control is set right the plow should not raise at all when you hit a tough spot but the 3-point should put enough upward pressure to increase the weight on your rear tires enough to give extra traction to pull through the tough spot. If the plow depth changes then it isn't set right. Depth control is used in when you get to the end of the field you lift the plow out of the ground and when you go back it will return to the depth YOU set it at. The tractor doesn't determine the depth you do. A properly set mounted plow using depth control and draft control will always out perform a pull-type plow. Easier on the tractors rear end because there is less spinning and you will have much better fuel economy. It isn't hard to adjust in order to do a good job plowing with a mounted plow.
