JD 3-bottom plow lifts out of the ground

I am pulling a JD 3-bottom behind a MF165 using draft control. I have a lot of soil variation in the field so the plowing depth does vary some as the ferguson system does its thing (about 5 - 7" avg). My problem is that at (seemingly) random times, (maybe after 30 minutes one time, 10 minutes the next) the engine will unload and I look back to find the plow off the ground for a ten foot stretch after which it lowers again and back to work. I can't figure out why this is happening. Any of you more experienced people have suggestions? Thanks!

Try shortening the top link to tip the plow bottoms forward, then level them so they penetrate equally with the right lift link. And if the MF keeps lifting them up, use a combination of draft and position levers... So the draft won't raise them out of the ground. Neither lever will be as far down for the same ground penetration as one alone.
