The disc is used on the 3pt without a sway bar, you need the side to side movement to allow for turning. We used our 8N on the disc before dad bought another farm and we got a larger tractor. For tight turns you will need to lift the disc however we always made longer sweeping turns with the disc in the ground - in general the brakes should not be needed or used very lightly to turn. Brakes waste fuel.
Second gear is typically used with the plow, disc etc. - we always run at approximately 3/4 throttle. Some people would plow etc. at full throttle but dad never instructed us to run full open.
It is best to disc at an angle if you are going to make more than one pass. For example, we would disc a field from corner to corner and the second pass would be from the opposite corners at 90 degrees. Actually we would do, what dad called "two at once" ; the disc was not lifted once the field was started. I would need to post a diagram for explaination, if anyone is interested.
