Plow Bottoms

What is the correct way to meaasure plow bottoms. People have told me two ways. Measure between the beams on the frame. Measure at the base of the moldboard by the point.

They are measured from either as long as you measure perpendicular to the direction of travel. This looks perpendicular to the landslide, or parallel to the axle of the tractor. JimN

Unless the plow frame is bent, any point on one bottom will be exactly the same distance away from the exact same point on the next bottom.

You can measure from the tip of the point to the tip of the next point, from landside to landside, from moldboard edge to moldboard edge, even from bolt to bolt. They'll be exactly 14" apart, measured straight across.

An easy way to do it is to take a framing square and lay it against the front bottom's landside so the L goes back and to the left, under the second bottom. You can read the measurement right off the square itself.

Just remember to read from the correct side of the square, or you'll end up thinking you have a 2" wider plow than you really do.

I've heard from on piont on one bottom to the same point on another bottom.

Just forget all the fancy measurements and just the distance from outside to outside on the beams as you dont know whether someone has put a 16in on a 14 in plow. The measirements on the beams will always be correct.
