Currently borrowing a fella's 3pth disk plow. Model and weight unknown. Has no adjustments. It has three disks as follows: two 26" cutting disks with a rear mounted 14" flat disk, cutting landside?

I'm pulling it behind an Oliver 550 Dsl. with weighted tires. Ground (20 acres) is unbroken & has a 6" rootbed of various brush, small trees with clay bottom approx. 20" below surface. Three months ago ground was bushhogged and disked.

Accordig to Owner he just hooks to it & GOES!! I have toplink in the top hole of the rocker with plow sitting approx. 2" lower in the rear than the front, minimum tension. Controlling depth with the hydraulic controls. Seems to be cutting fine, in fact, it can really rip up some ground!

Seeking the finer points of setting up a disk plow for efficiency as I only have it for a month. Thanks in advance for the wealth of knowledge and courtesy.

Going to take a guess that the flat blade is a stabilizer to keep the cutting blades from trying to skid the unit (and the tractor) sideways. My dad had a trailer type single gang disk/plow and the furrow wheel and rear wheel were substantial castings set at an angle to counteract the side draft.
