J-Mech, you are right with the big tractors, that's what I'm basing my theory on. I spent my childhood & a good portion of my early adulthood rolling dirt over. To the best memories I can recall on the tractors I ran the ground speed would vary from just under 5 mph to a little over 6 mph at about 8 inches deep. With the cub I was shooting for about 5 to 6 inches deep but it seemed the ground speed was so fast I had trouble holding it in the furrow.
I agree with you about the dirt turning over, once you get the depth set then you have adjust the ground speed to turn the furrows to match. Not unlike you, I've never plowed with single bottom plows, I started on a 4 bottom & moved to 6 bottom on land. Just a little frustrating to have plowed thousands of acres & having so much trouble with one little plow....
