It's better to have the plow follow you, & not be using an anti-sway chain (or bar). You still have something adjusted not quite right if it is pulling a lot to one side. A bit of wander when soil conditions change is acceptable. Hard to one side all the time is not really. In hard dry clay it is difficult to get good penetration. I don't see any problems with the limiter chains - if you stress them too much, the chain would break - not such a big deal. How new & full are the landsides & plow lays? Worn lays can make it almost impossible to get the plow to penetrate so you will try to angle it down too much, Worn landsides cause it to slide to the left. Do you have a rear wheel to follow in the furrow, or just a long landside? It is really good to try to center a plow on the tractor - but with one bottom, you need to have the plow way over to the right side - makes it difficult. The left wheel pulls more, so the right one either slips on soft ground, or pulls more on hard ground, upsetting the tractor to one side or the other. Never used an N, so don't know, but are you supposed to (can you?) set the wheels in on the right side as much as possible? That helps a lot with trailer plows. Can your plow slide left or right somewhere to line it up with the rear wheel, and do you have it set right? The first round is always difficult, as is working with a rusty or unused plow. Have you made several rounds & are now following in the furrow with a shiny plow? Should be working better at that point, might be a struggle until. Single bottom plows can be a little harder to set, and I've never used a true 3-point plow, so I'm probably not the best guy to be rambling on about this... ;) Hope I'm not doing more damage than good! --->Paul
