On Cub Cadets, the hydraullic lift could either be in float or locked out.

With a plow properly set up, it ought to insert itself into the soil with little if any down pressure needed, in my experience.

Can only speak for the Gravely Tractors. The hyd cylinder was double acting. There was force both up and down. You could apply down pressure to an attachment and it would stay put. No locks required.

most garden plows when set up proper do not need down pressure. My .o2$

I have a sleave type plow for my garden tractor without any hydralics.

Are you saying that a properly adjusted plow should easily obtain plowing depth?

Mine requires down pressure by arm power to get into the ground. Everything seems adjusted. But I have noted that the point is quite rounded. Do I need to grind the point to a sharper edge so it will dig?

I have clay ground and it often is tight. The plow seems to work well in previously established garden areas.

Hi Ken. You need to set up your plow so that the "point" is pointing down into the ground when you start out, and then the plow levels out when it reaches working depth. The end of a Brinly plow is designed to bury it if set up right.

I too have clay ground, and I had to fiddle around with mine quite a bit to get it right. When it is right, you will find you lose traction because the plow becomes an anchor before you will have to press down on the plow to insert it.

I'll send ya a pic of how I did mine, after a guy passed along the idea.
