Plowing is becoming a lost art form. First off you need the right equipment. Often times just getting any old plow to put behind any old tractor doesn't work well. Second the right equipment needs to be set up properly and third the operator needs to know what he or she is doing. When it all comes together its a beautiful thing.
I have have plowed some of the prettiest furrows with an old Farmall Cub and single bottom plow. It was just gliding along effortless. And that tractor only has about 8HP and only weights maybe less than 1500lbs. My 52 CA (26HP) pulls 2 14" bottoms in 3rd gear as easy as pie.
I too have been there and tried the new fangled tractor and plow and it just didn't work. Old tractor with properly fitted plow will do wonders.
