I don't know what the definition of a 'big' field is in your area, but here in Northwest Iowa when we moldboard plowed we disked at an angle to the plowing, maybe a 25 degree or 30 degree angle. whatever made the tractor ride the smoothest. In those days fields were 40 acres up to 160 acres. We didn't want to swing and sway and bounce in the tractor seat a whole lot when we were out there for days on end disking. We never went cross ways (rough) and very few farmers went lengthways with the plow furrow. Hitting it at an angle allowed the disk blades to throw the soil away from the plow ridges and into the gaps for better leveling. Thank goodness moldboard plowing is a thing of the past for us!
