1. A plow is typically designed to plow 1/2 as deep as the bottom is wide. If you have a 16 inch molboard, it is designed to plow 8 inches deep. If 14", then only 7" deep. So, you be going way deep enough! 2. Why would you shorten the top link? This typically makes the plow go shallower on a normal 3pt plow. If you lengthen the top link, then the plow tends to suck itself deeper. However, with a farm store type plow on a smallish tractor, things might not be lining up right, so perhaps you are doing the right thing for your situation. But normally, making the top link a little longer makes it suck in a little deeper. 3. Worn out plow lays will often make a plow skid on the surface rather than dig in. Sounds like you are not having any problem actually, but for the future..... 4. You manage to get one of those cheep little plows sunk all the way into the ground to the depth of the whole molboard??????? And it didn't break????? Holy cow & why are you going so deep???? :) --->Paul
