HELP plow quesiont

[Hoosierhog2]

hello everyone im kinda new here ive read lots just never posted. I recently bought a ford 4000 from my uncle (hoosierhog) and a few implements. And my inexperience shows i need some help

first question
i was using a 2bottom plow behind my tractor and i thought i was doing well till i tried to disc it down. My plow is turning the soil well but man are there huge piles. my tractor is a good size with an 8ft wheel disc and the turned earth is so big in place the tractor bottoms out if that makes any sense. I got online and watch some videos of others plowing and they have nice neat furrows with the turned earth neatly layed upside down. Mine in some places is 2ft tall and no were neer of nicely turned. its mostly huge chunks of sod. also is a 2 bottom two small for a ford 4000? Im trying to plow 4 acre field that used to have 600 plus norway pines in it that were 6ft tall i sold the pines and i was left with 600 holes to fill in. ive plowed in the these wholes before as i sold trees but i only made 2 passes down and back on each side of the holes. now that i finaly got all the trees out i want to make it a hay field so i was plowing shut the last of the holes 600 of them and started plowing the rest of the field wich is sod.

i posted this in the tractor talk forum as well sorry i wasnt sure were i should post it
thanks

ok
if the plow is 2 bottom 12" then I would expect what you are seeing
3 bottom 16" would work a lot better
problem is the plow can't handle the sod and it is stacking up on it making big piles
16" bottoms will handle the sod a lot better
you need to scatter the piles out after plowing and before using the disk
do you have a drag to drag the field with?
that would help
