Re: Plow Set-Up help please...

Put 7" of blocks under the front and rear left tires to simulate plowing position of the tractor.
With the plow hooked to the tractor, it should set
flat on the ground for a start. Will need readjusting after you start plowing. If you have more than one hole on the tractor for the toplink, hook it in the bottom hole. As for that bar that the
lower lift arms hook to, it should be twisted to point the plow straight ahead. The right to left level of the plow is adjusted on one of the liftarms of the tractor. You need to know if your plow is 14 or16 "The distance from the inside of the right rear tire to the center of the tractor is 25 1/2" for a 14" plow,27 1/2" for a 16" plow.
When you get this far, its time to try it. It should track right behind the tractor with no pressure on the chains and be plowing 14 or 16" on the furrow closest to the right tire. If it isn't you have to turn that heavy bar to point it in the direction you want the plow to go to get that first furrow right. You won't be able to adjust it on your first pass across the field you have to get the furrow wheel down in a furrow. That bar you hook the lift arms to should be just about centered on the plow. There is a proper measurement for that to but I cant find it just now. Sounds like that bar is way out of adjustment. Questions? Email me I seldom go back to look at a post. Notice in the photo how the plow is level while the tractor has 1 side in the furrow.
