Sounds to me like your plows points (shares) are worn. Normally, a plow will try to dig to China, if it's in good shape. There's not any tractors with "downforce" on the hitch as far as I know. And I've never seen the need to add weight to a plow. Shortening the top link beyond "normal" will just throw the plow out of proper alignment. I've plowed literally thousands of acres of sod over the years. I've never seen the need to plow/disc/plow/disc. That is a waste of time and fuel. A properly set up plow will get as deep as you ever need to go. As far as your planting in "shallow ground", just keep in mind that a large margin of todays corn crops are grown "No-Till" where the soil isn't worked at all. As lond as you are deep enough to let your planter operate, you're probably fine. (And yes, I do no-till about 10 acres of sweetcorn every year). John
