Just picked up a 2-bottom trip plow to go with my WD.First off,I know nothing about these plows.Could somebody give me the jist of how they operate.Problem is I got it home and my boy pulled the rope and dropped the plow down-the thing has a flat tire on the catch wheel.Doesn"t seem to have enough grab to come back up.Do you need to keep the rope pulled until you want it to come back up?

You will have to raise that side of plow then rotate wheel until it clicks in a slot , then trip it again then rotate the wheel until it clicks into the slot again, it should be in the up position.

Messed with my mind when you talked about a 'trip bottom' plow, and since no one has answered you, I'll bite. Trip bottom normally refers to a plow with a spring-loaded linkage on each bottom that allows the bottom to trip= go back- when hitting a rock, root, etc, preventing damage to the plowshare, frame, etc. You are obviously referring to a pull-type plow with a ground lift mechanism that is activated by a rope to raise and lower the plow. The rope is pulled once for each operation- no need to hold it. If the plow does not want to raise- put a tire on the left side- the trip mechanism side- which has some lugs on it- at least an old snow tire from a car, or something with more of a lug. You need traction for the tire to rotate and raise the plow. A smooth worn out car tire will not do that. An old pickup truck tire with lugs should work. There are usually two levers on those plows. The left one sets the depth of the p[low and the right one levels the frame. L/R is in the direction of travel- same as on any farm machine. Right one is adjusted when starting each new land of plowing, then reset when making subsequent rounds on each started land. Plow frame should run level (right to left) whenever the plow is in the ground. Front to rear level is maintained by the three wheels of the plow- no adjustment needed.
