PREADJUSTMENT
NOTE: During normal plowing, the right side tractor
wheels will be riding in the previously plowed furrow. A
furrow is the cut area your plow makes when turning the
soil. An initial setting for your plow is required to cut the
first furrow on level ground. The following pre-sets will
result in an approximate 5" to 6" plowing depth.
•
Remove stabilizer bolts and nuts from sleeve hitch.
The plow must be free to move side to side on hitch.
Lower your tractor lift handle and lock in lowered
position.
Mount the plow to the sleeve hitch with the hitch pin
furnished with the hitch. Refer to figure 3 and the
accompanying table on page 6 to select the proper
mounting hole.
Adjust lift spring tension on hitch as required, see hitch
manual for instructions.
Adjust the depth crank of plow until point of plow
share is on the ground and the rear of plow landside is
approximately 1" off the ground. (Refer to figure 12.)
NOTE: The plow will appear to be angled to the left. This
will allow the plow to run level when the right hand tractor
wheels are in the plowed furrow.
The plowing depth is set by adjusting the tractor sleeve
hitch turnbuckle until hitch drawstrap has about 1" of
slot exposed between pin and end of slot. Loosen the
hex nut on the hitch turnbuckle to adjust it. Make sure to
retighten it after adjusting.
Adjust the plow coulter to its highest position.
Go and make your first two furrows as shown in figure
13 (X to A and turn B to C). Make sure the tractor lift
handle is lowered and locked into the down position.
Plow in third gear and near full throttle. Raise the plow
to the transport position when turning.
If your plow is not plowing at 4" to 5" deep on your initial
two passes, readjust the plow depth crank by turning
it clockwise to go deeper or counter-clockwise to go
shallower. Make this adjustment one turn at a time until
desired depth is obtained. See figure 16 on page 11.
NOTE: The rest of the furrows will be made with the
tractor tires in the previously cut furrows; therefore, the
pitch (depth) of the plow must be readjusted to a 5" to 6"
plowing depth.
Position your tractor with the inside of the right side
wheels against the side of the previously plowed
furrow.
Start plowing for a short distance and check the
depth of the furrow. Adjust the depth crank clockwise
or counter-clockwise
one turn at a time until the 5" to
6" depth is obtained.
After plowing depth is set with plow in furrow, stop the
tractor and measure the distance from the centerline
of the plow coulter axle bolt -- it should be about 2"

above the ground. If it is not, raise the plow out of the
ground adjust the coulter up or down to obtain the 2"
height. Be sure to adjust side motion at this time (see
coulter adjustment on page 10, figure 15.)
TRACKING
ADJUSTMENT
(OPTIONAL)
NOTE: If the plow appears to track to the left while
plowing, an adjustment is available to correct this
condition. (Refer to figure 17.)
The tracking adjustment is made by loosening
both 1/2" hex nuts securing the plow bottom to the
standard and turning the tracking adjustment bolt
clockwise two turns. Retighten hex nuts securely.
Repeat adjustment as necessary until plow pulls
straight at 10 ° from the adjacent plowed swath.
