Re: plowing - what's wrong?
did you try taking the loader off? i assume you are running a rear wheel drive only tractor, so no plowing advantage to keeping the loader on the front except for steering. taking off the loader could give significantly more traction to the rear tires - even more than loading the rears.
don't give up!
i just plowed my little garden space with a single bottom i rigged up to my 25 hp kubota. i did have 4x4, but plowed without the loader on the front since i had minimal maneuvering room. i got stuck a few times - it was very wet and soggy clay - but did get it done.
there is not comparison in my mind between what a good mold board plow can do vs. a tiller. the plow turns the soil over and leaves big chunks intact whereas a tiller is going to pulverize the soil which makes pretty planting beds, but doesn't help you in the long run with organic structure, root zone drainage, etc.
