The going in the ground was a fairly common problem with the Ford & Ferguson plows. Back when they were made most were sharpened by the local blacksmith. The share as they were called in my neck of the woods was heated in a forge and beat out to the right shape with a hammer. The amount the tip and leading edge was tilted down with the hammer was refered to as suck. If it did not have the proper suck, you could drag it around all day and not get it in the ground. Some now think that the upper link will give it the tilt or angle it needs to engage the ground, but this is not the right way to solve the problem. The original top link was only adjustable by loosening the bolts and sliding it which only amounted to about 1/2" of movement. The adjustable crank on the right lift arm is to set the front to rear bottom to be plowing at equal depth. As to your trash problem, that is the main reason farmers disc the fields before plowing. Breaking it up into small clumps with help a lot in keeping it from raping around the beam or just pushing ahead of the plow. This takes me back over 50 years ago when dad explained to me how to plow with the new little Ford (my tractor). He ran the old Oliver 70 pulling a 2 bottom Allis Chalmers rope trip plow that I was to learn later was a lot harder to use than the Ford!!
