Swinging Drawbar?

As you can see, the disc penetrates really deep. Granted, there are weights on it, but after trying to make 1 pass, I took them off. They only weighed about 50 lbs each. Even without them, the disc still goes up to the gang axles in the soil. The tractor doesn't struggle too hard going straight, but the problem comes when turning. I've thought about getting a swinging drawbar for it, but I don't know if that will make enough difference to justify still using the 8N, or whether I need more weight/horses from a W series tractor. Right now, it tends to lug down and spin quite a bit when turning if the gangs are set very aggressive. 

I know, I know, it's a Ford, but I'm trying to work with what I've got. 

suggestion...

when discing try this way as it means NO sharp turns.

think of the field marked as below..

A B C D E F G H I J K L

head north  on A, then south on G

head north on B, then south on H

head north on C, then south on I

repeat for the rest of the field.

yes, you'll go over the 'top and bottm'( headlands ??) often but maybe that's a good thing, keeps the weeds down ??

 there's probably a term for this but,well, I ain't a real farmer..

you might be better with 1 disc and drag harrows, soil looks like it 'cuts' real nice

Thanks, Jay. Yes, I try to follow a pattern similar to that, as it's the only way I can turn at all. The one thing that helps most is driving out of the plowed ground and turning in the tall grass, as that keeps the disc from penetrating as much. 

I just need a bigger tractor I guess. Or a 3pt disc. I have a 7' 3pt disc at home I use, and it handles it great. I've just never taken it out to the deer plots because it won't fit on our trailer unless you load it slanted. It's too wide both ways. 

I do like the WC unstyled tractors quite a bit...I may have to bite the bullet someday, although I really probably have too many tractors as it is.
