That is a common problem, newer plows got more & more distance between bottoms & more height for the beam.
The coulters are often the problem, they need to be LARGE. Old plows typically have the coulters worn down to little disks, don't cut deep enough to cut the stalks.
They need to be adjusted right. Slightly to the left of the edge of the bottom. Deep enough to cut, not so deep the bearing drags on the ground.
The whole plow needs to be set so it is level when you are plowing. This involves your right 3pt leveler and the top link.
The plow needs to follow the rear wheel properly. You can shift the plow left or right with some bolts or clamps on the hitch bar, typically. Wheel need to be in the furrow, and plow needs to be following properly to cut furrows.
Rust on the bottom, as mentioned, makes for very, very hard plowing. Find some sand or dry soil to get the plow shiny. It will plug up with dirt, & then trash, when rusty or painted. Gotta get shiny.
