Here is a procedure that I wrote some time ago on the use of the flat bottom plow. The same really applys to the disc plow too. To prevent the plow from trying to turn the tractor you need to adjust the draw bar.Think of the plow as the rudder on a boat.If you want the boat to turn left you turn the ruddre left.The same is true of the plow.The drawbar has an offset on the right side with the offset turned down.To turn the plow as a rudder to the left to make the tractor stop turning right when the plow is engauged,loosed the bolt that secure the drawbar to the plow.Turn the drawbar counterclockwise looking at the right end(offset).in order to make the tail of the plow turn to the left.It only takes little to turn the plow tail a lot but do it so that the tail of the plow is moved about 6" to the left.Retighted the bolts that secure the drawbar to the plow.
Put the little lever that is under the seat in the down (draft control position) Move the lift lever till the plow drops to the ground.Advance the tractor and gradually move the lever more down till the plow is at the depth you wish to plow and then set the lever at this point with the stop to make it stay there.
A flat bottom plow should be set so that when the plow opens the furrow the bottom of the furrow will be flat.Hence"flat bottom plow"!!If the plow will not go in the ground with the plow set flat,get new plow points.
When using a 14" flat bottom plow the distance from the inside edge of the right rear wheel should be 14" from the most forward point of the first plow.Or 14" from the landside of the first plow to the inside of the RR tire.
The tires of the tractor should have water in them or either wheel weights.
