My rule is that depth and speed need to be adjusted so what was once the top of the soil should end up being flipped upside down and laying in the bottom of the furrow with no residue on top.

Rule of thumb around here is usually that a 10" cresent will stand upright in the furrow. Usually pull between 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 mph to feather it out and make it lay like a tabletop.

Everybody does it different tho; I sometimes see guys plowing around 5" deep. Don't know why, as they just pull that trash right back on top at the second tillage pass.
