I am plowing some hay ground with the same Ford 4610 and unknown 3 bottom plow I discussed in this thread last year.

I have the loader off. I seem to have plenty of traction and power, but in the toughest clay, I can't keep the tractor going straight. It wants to turn right, and I had to use the left steering brake sometimes. I did a generally poor job plowing, my furrows were not straight. I was only plowing 6" deep. The sod was flipping well enough.
A few change I made since last year. I took off the loader. I added a stabilizer bar to push the plow a few inches to the right, so I don't have to hug the right side of the furrow. I took the rest of the hardware from the fourth bottom off.
I still only have two coulters on this plow, on the first two bottoms. I think I might move one from the second to the third.
This plow has no tail wheel.
What makes the plow turn the tractor to the right? This ground has been cow pasture or hay for 30 years, and is quite compacted. It is not too dry, I thought it might be too wet, but I didn't have any mud, and the rolled over dirt was fracturing and crumbling.
