You can probably take the front coulter off if it's making contact with something on the tractor. I have done a lot of plowing without one. I personally have had everything from a single bottom to seven 16" plows and have never had a problem with a coulter in over 50 years but I guess it is possible with today's compact tractors. Also, I have never seen extended lift arms either. Sorry to give you a non answer

I have a Ford Series 101 two bottom plow. If fits my tractor with a Category 1, Three Point Hitch perfectly.
My Kubota has 35-horsepower.
Drop the front coulter.
PLOWING PRIMER:
I have the same Ford model 101 plow with the Landing lever.
I trust you are new to the plow. The plow require more experience to use well than any other implement.
How wide at the rear tires on that Deere? Plow must be wider in width than tire, so tire can ride in bottom of plow furrow. With 14" rear tires you cannot plow with a 12" wide plow, you need a 14" or 16" wide plow.
Did you create one "dead furrow" then turn the tractor around, put the right front and rear right tires into the furrow? Tractor will be tilted to the right at a startling angle.
With tractor tilted to the right you now need to level the plow, forward/aft and left/right. Forward/aft adjustment is made with Top Link. This controls plow suck, how deep leveled plow will sink.
Left/right adjustment is made via threaded adjustment on right Lifting Rod. Your right Lifting Rod is red. I see you have threaded adjustment on your left Lifting Rod too. Quite unusual. Objective is to get right plow and left plow in the ground at precisely the same level.
Hopless to attempt these fine right/left and forward/aft adjustments by eye. Use a level.
With tractor still canted sharply to the right due to front and rear right tires being flat in the bottom of the dead furrow, adjust the plow level front/rear and forward/aft. You have to plow a few feet, observe, adjust and plow again a few feet until plow inverts soil. Might need to make 10 to 15 adjustments to get it right your first time in the field.
Once you choose a plow direction you have to continue to plow in that one direction. So 50% of your pulls will be with the plow sunk, 50% with the plow raised, being transported back to the last created furrow for successive pull.
