Plowing Problem

I have a 600 and I'm trying to use a single bottom plow on it. The problem is that when I set the plow done it drops OK, then as soon as I start moving the plow starts drifting to the left. I've tried 3 differant plows and all do the same thing. If the lower bars are bent would this cause this? I've been told that it shouldn't matter that the plow should still plow straight.HELP!!!!

Is your plow properly adjusted? I have plowed for years using 3pt plows and never had to use stablizer bars. problems normally are adjustment or dull points.

You must have stabilizer bars in place to the lifting points when using a turning plow to make it stay where you put it.
The stabilizer bars hook to the plow lifting points and to the stabilizer brackets that are held under the rear axle by the fender retaining bolts at the bottom of the axle.

Why are you using a 1-bottom plow on a 2/3-plow tractor? I'd want to turn as much dirt as quickly as possible.

Don't know about him, but it keeps me away from the "honey-do list". :)

Sounds like you may not be using stablizer bars or chains. The force of the pull will cause the plow to drift to the left unless the stablizers hold it steady behind the tractor. Even then the tractor itself could try to drift on you unless you use your brakes to correct!

Wish you luck!

My single bottom 12" plow does the same drift. I would assume from your response that the chains finally hold it in position, as the drift is not a problem. (I use a 601 (661) Workmaster.)

The landside is supposed to absorb the
side thrust of the plow against the furrow wall.
Some people move their wheels in close for
plowing. Then the line of draft is more centered on the tractor which can reduce drift.
If you have to hold it on coarse with sway
chains, just be careful not to bend the left
arm.

I agree with Drew. Pull type plows don't have sway chains and they aren't supposed to go sideways. I thought is the 2-3 plow tractor has you thinking you can go deeper. By doing this you have surpased the landsides ability to hold the plow straight. I don't recall how big of bottom you said you had. I have always been to told the standard rule of thumb is you can go half as deep as the bottom is wide. 18" wide then 9" deep. Next.
