Wheel tread for plowing?

I have an SC with 10-38 tires and a Case model B 2-14" pull type plow. The plow manual says the wheel tread should be set at 48" This seems very narrow for plowing and was wondering if anyone had some thoughts on this. Thanks Dennis

I plow with the same tractors I cultivate with. I have a VAC-14 with the rear tires set at 52", and a Farmall C with the tires set at 76", and both pull the same CASE B series 2-16 plow, I just move the hitch. You want the centerline of the furrow wheel on the tractor to line up with the centerline of the furrow wheel on the plow. If you have a 1950"s B series plow manual, it tells you how to set a 2 bottom to 48-72" wheel tread.

Using 10 X tires the space between the tires would be ~38". That's very close to the calculation from 55 50. The manual should have instructions for fine tuning the adjustment.

The wheel tread depends on the size of plow you are using. A two bottom would require a fairly narrow wheel tread. I think your manual is correct. The horizontal center line of draft of a moldboard plow is located at a point 1/4 of the cutting width of one bottom measured to the left of the center of the total cut of the plow. For a 2-14, that calculates to 17 1/2 inches from the furrow wall. That further says that if the tractor drawbar is to be at exact center of the point of pull on the tractor, the rear tractor wheels would need to be spaced at 35 inches which is narrower than probably any tractor could be adjusted to for safety reasons. Therefore with your situation of 48 inches recommended wheel spacing, you would need to offset the plow hitch to the left by 6 1/2 inches. I've set up according to this plan with a different sized plow and it works as stated.
