Just a few more thoughts - been trying to figure how to explain in as few words as possible:
Check plow is in good condition - no worn out parts (especially points or shares) and SHINY working surfaces (mouldboards etc). If rusty, clean using a brick and remember to oil it all over next time you put it away - earth won't slide over rust.
Don't get caught in a fight between top link and levelling box. Plow should be level both fore & aft and sideways when working. If necessary stop, get off tractor and take a look from a few yards away (plow will be an inch or two higher at front when stopped than when it's underway). Top link needs to be JUST short enough for the plow to penetrate. Any more and the front plow will dig deep whilst the other will go shallow. Trying to compensate by tilting the plow with the levelling box gets you in a real mess.
Should have it working reasonably within a hundred yards or so. Once that's done, fine tune front furrow width, then sideways levelling. After a few passes, fine tune penetration at beginning of furrow on top link.
Good luck & have fun! Plowing is the most satisfying farm job I know.

Thanks for all the great responces. I believe that you all have I.D. my error from the start. In a couple of weeks when I can get back out the there I will re adjust and try again. I am in learning mode and am having fun at it. I do not have a particular job that has to get done. My short term goal now is to get the field grass turnned for a wildlife food plot next spring.

Thank again.
