Gibby, First, I have to say I wish I was living wherever you are, and out plowing. I still have 4 foot drifts here, and can hardly get around the yard as half of it is ice covered. You don't have diff. lock on your tractor. Your tractor pulling to the right has nothing to do with the furrow wheel getting more traction, that would pull you to the left. Think about it, if you could somehow cut the power to the left wheel what direction would it tend to go? The right one would push the tractor to the left. The point about adding weight or more weight to the left wheel is well taken, esp. if you are pulling 3 bottoms with a 300, you'll need all the help you can get. If all else fails - read the book. I'm sure it will start by telling you to set the right rear tire so the inside is 28-30 inches from the centerline of the tractor, depending on size of plow. After that follow the directions, it will tell how to correct the PLOW adjustment for pulling one way or another. I had two neighbors who were IH men. One guy and his son got one of the then new semi-mount plows and started plowing without doing any adjustments, just the way it came. They complained to the other neighbor about what a pile of junk it was and that they should never have bought this new fangled contraption. He told them to read the book and do what it said. They half heartedly made a couple changes and it plowed a little better. He was able to talk the son into bringing the tractor and plow over with the owners manual. They went step by step and did everything it said. It plowed like a dream, furrows looked like those in the ads. The old man bragged it up to anyone who would listen. Jim
