Hi Rocky , The #8 doesn't have what is called a " gauge wheel " . The land wheel and tail wheel serves that function and the furrow wheel levels the whole thing side to side . The tail wheel also levels it front to back and the hitch determines how straight it pulls relative to the tractor and how well it enters and lifts out of the ground . But just like all things these aren't hard and fast rules . There's a lot of adjustments on one of these old plows to get a perfect furrow but you only need a perfect furrow if you are in a competition . There are some things to be aware of though before you drop it in the ground for the first time or you'll pull your hair out from frustration if some things aren't working right and there's nobody around to council you on what it is . BTDT !! That plow has been around for a long , long time so chances are it's set right or close to right if you bought it off a farmer that has used it . It's the wear parts that'll cause you some grief , you have Plow Chief points on it . They are expensive if you can find them at all ...Randy

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
