Most farmers around here don't want anything to do with plowing. They say its cost prohibitive and ruins no till ground.

After 15 years of no till and set aside on my farm the yealds were dropping. I had the soil checked and it only needed a little extra lime. However the soil was compacted and they told me it would need to be plowed for at least two years. Not many people were subsoiling around here. Now around here it seems that is the answer to compaction is to subsoil in the fall and no till in the spring.
I like to plow just because I like to plow. I liked it 60 years ago when Dad started me out plowing and I never lost the (like)

Yeh I'm the same, I like to plow for fun. What I don't like is fixing it afterwards.

The long rear landslide will help considerably, another trick is to use a short share that doesn't cut all the way, leaving a hinge of sort to help turn the ground over.  Using a 14" share on a 16" plow keeps the ground from sliding to the right at the bottom of the furrow, so it turns over better.
Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.
