I had a AC disc plow once, used it on a D-14 tractor, however it was mounted (snap couple) to the tractor, not a trailer plow.
Disc plows pull eaiser than flat bottom plows and will roll over rocks, roots, etc: so they have there place, I guess were used a lot in rough ground before trip plows came along.
I know my dad would not used the Ferg steel beam flat bottom plows in ground he thought might have rocks, etc: as you can hang plows and spring them. (A set of sprung plows will never plow right, ruined).
If the ground has a lot of turf, disc plows will edge the ground into big chucks, if I remember correctly.
Very important: The back trail wheel must be in the ground at all times and angled against the furrow. If not, the plow will do as you said, back of plow will try to past front of plow.
The AC disc plow had a solid steel trail wheel with a metal guide around the wheel to keep in digging into the furrow.
When all was set and running true the old plow did a good job. As I said before, it was much easier to pull than the same number of flat bottoms.
IF the field to be plowed has rocks and roots:
With a disc plow you will be plowing while your buddies will be at the house washing their flat bottom plows, because they will be afraid to put them in that ground.
