Pulling 3 bottom plow

[Old66ford]

Hello all!
So last year I found a 3 bottom Furgeson plow at a great deal so I bought it for my acreage and Super Major. This past weekend I finally got around to adding the 3rd bottom (PO removed it to only use as a 2 bottom) and took it for a spin on a 2 acre plot. Shined up fairly nicely, cuts great, but I will need to play with my adjustments to properly level it out. Last time I plowed was 15 years ago with a White 2-150 and a drawbar 5 bottom.
Here is a short video of the old girl in action.

You're not far off.. Narrow your front furrow a little, and maybe lengthen the top-link to let the back bottom/body in a little deeper.. then alter your ploughing depth and/or skimmers to bury all the grass?

It looks nice light soil, I can see why so many Scots left the rocky hillsides and wet boggy valleys to settle on the Canadian prairies

Looks like a nice combonation and nice soil i just bought a 4 bottom ford 101 plow for my super major might have to take the last one off and make it a 3 bottom i live only couples hours away in fort st john

Thanks all!

Blackbob, why do you suggest narrowing the front furrow? And I tried to lengthen the top link, but even with a 3 foot pipe wrench it wasn't moving! And I don't believe I have skimmers.

Looks like nice light soil, but alot of clay. My garden suffer because of it, my carrots/potatoes wont grow more than 5inches down, and I need a shovel to get them out!

Deutz, If your soil is a bit softer than mine, I think it would pull a 4 bottom. I also have wide tires, they just fit in the furrow.

WIth my land, I only have 2-3 acres to plow every 2-3 years, so it won't see alot of use, but sure comes in handy for the grass.
