There is ussually adjustments on a plow. On a three point, most of the adjustment would be on the top link. Your lower two arms of three point ussually have adjustment as well, but if they are level they should be right (I ussually run lower arms all the way up in adjustment). If your top link is to short, your plow will try to dig severly, but if to long it won't want to go into ground. You have to find the happy medium. Ounce you get it into ground and it is in plowing position, your plow should be fairly level. When you raise it out of ground and set it on unplowed ground the front of plow should be running slightly downhill into ground. If it is bone dry compacted ground you will have trouble getting it to go into ground along with other simular conditions such as to much mulch and organic matter but if the latter is the case it should plow alright ounce you get it into ground. After making a pass or two your wheels of tractor should run in the furrow on one side (ussually the right). Plows ussually plow better with the wheel's in furrow. If your plow throws dirt right then your right wheels should be in furrow. If your plow throws dirt left then left wheel's should be in furrow. Most plows throw right but I have seen flip over three point plows that can throw both ways designed for terraces I guess. I doubt you have one of those though. That's about all I know to tell you, I hope I helped.
