I think what Hunter is refering to is an offst tandem disk, not an offset hitch. If it it is pulling to one side, either the front or back is adjusted too shallow.

It should pull to the side. Offset disks are used in orchards so the pull to the side puts them further under the tree limbs. The front gang always digs deeper than the back so there's a net side thrust.

Several plow types around here are offset; you only have one row of turning blades extending out at about a 30 degree angle. Some have as many as 16 discs. Used in blackland clay where a moldboard would gum up. The rolling disc goes by a scraper which keeps it clean.

At the end of the row of discs is a massive cast iron dolly wheel which is supposed to counter the effect of the plow. Without it, or without it being properly adjusted, the plow is useless.

Now there are offset tandems which look like a tandem disc harrow but rather than a front and rear vee, the front bank is tilted one way and the rear the other.

Never use one but I tend to agree that they would be a problem too as Gerald mentioned. Unless both sections were under the same load, the tractor steering would be adversely affected.

That's why my plow is an ex-tandem disc. Balanced load.
