As you learn - and farming takes a lot of learning - when you get that plow set level and you start making the rounds the other way so you follow the furrow, you will laugh at your initial attempts at this! :)
Have fun with your adventure. Keep learning. :)
In the picture, your top link should be screwed much longer. When in the ground, the plow should be level front to back. You can see how tipped up it is, only the points are in the dirt.
Also, it appears you are throwing dirt to the right, with freshly dug dirt on the left dide of you. Perhaps you are finishing up that field, but normally you have the right side wheels in the furrow that was left the previous round, and untouched ground is on your left side.
