The "Ford Operator's Manual; Tractors 9N, 2N, 8N" ($5-$14) has 10 pages of Plowing Instructions including the sections mounting the plow, adjusting width of cut, coulter and jointer adj, rolling landslide, plow bottoms, plow shares, plow lubrication, and plowing procedures. Wanna bet your questions are address including pictures? Let's see...

how do I control the depth? That's draft control. Set it where you want and the tractor keeps it there.
adjusting the top link? Attach the top link with the plow sitting level.
Any way to stop the clogging or is this typical of grass fields? The 14" General Purpose plow bottom is the choice for old bluegrass pastures and tame sod in good rotation.
The backward rollover concerns are not nearly so great when using draft control with in-ground impliments. With those impliments the 3pt hitch is designed to keep the center of gravity below the axel and pull the front wheels down. It doesn't work near so well with above ground impliments.
The book brags about how 'well suited' the tractor is for contour plowing.
I don't even know what 'scouring' means.
The book has pages and pages on direction and why.
You know the Conservation Service did soil tests and told the farmers what land was tilable and what should be left as pasture. If you are opening up pasture you might be wasting your time. I have the Conservation layout for this farm. They detailed soil type and land usage for the entire 1/4-section. My pasture is clearly not cropland. I think those ol boys plowed every inch of suitable cropland. They had pasture land coz it wasn't worth anything else. I know the boys in the flood plains don't have any pastures. They plow fence to fence. Well, not really because they don't have any fence either.
