Here's some help. If you bought the plows used it is probably already set so it pulls behind he tractor right, otherwise you need to set it so the front plow share and mold board end just inside the rear tire--the dirt will be turned over onto the tire track. After you make the first pass come back and set the rear tire into that furrow the moldboard opened with the plows in the ground, now set the plow beam (all the bottoms are attached to this) level by adjusting one of the 3 pt arms up or down, generally up from normal. You will want to set your depth stop to either what depth you want or what the tractor will pull--usually 4 to 6 inchs. For speed you want the soil to flow over the moldboard and lay out smoothly, if it is just coming up on edge your too slow, if it is way beyond the tractor your too fast. Also check the soil moisture--squeese a fist full of dirt and then if it just crumbles with a touch it is right. Too wet will leave clods and stand on edge, too dry leaves dust and is hard to get the plows into the ground. One more thing you will either plow from the field edges to the center or from the center out center out and you will basicly be making circles. When you are done there will be a furrow to fill with the disc. Good luck.
