Plough questions...

Hi,
I've just aquired a two-furrow Massey Harris plough made under licence by Fiskars of Finland.

I had a quick practice with the plough last night and it worked with no problems - beginners' luck I suppose.

My questions are these:
1. How high should I set the coulter wheels?
2. Do the coulters run on ball-bearings?
3. Is it possible to run the plough without the coulters?
4. What is the name of the spring-loaded jockey wheel at the back, and what is its function?

Many thanks

John-Paul.

Where can I buy parts for a Fiskars plough in the UK?

I have a two bottom plow without coulters. It does a decent job. I was told that the coulters would give a cleaner cut because they "score" the ground giving it a breaking off line. I must admit my plowing experience isn't vast but I do have a good time trying.

The purpose of the coulter is to cut through any straw or other material lying on the ground to prevent it from gathering up on the frame.
About two to three inches should be enough.

All the coulters I have had experience with had a grease fitting on the hub.

Vern, FM: Thanks very much!

My coulters have grease fittings on the hubs, at least one of them does. The fitting on the other one has broken off, and the hub is loose and sloppy. I took it apart and wondered if there should be bearings in there, I thought perhaps they had rusted away. I can't get the other hub apart to check.

Cheers,

J-P

I don't have any answer to questions numbers 1 and 2, but for number three, I think You can. All it does is make it cut cleaner. The wheel at the back is to keep the plow from being pushed against the furrow instead of turning over a full furrow. Imagine how big a force is being exerted on that plow.

the rear wheel is used to control the angle of the plow bottoms in relation to the earth, the side forces are controled by the landsides , the rear landside is longer as the forces are greatest at that point.the hitch angle is very important to achieve a good plowing job and makes the plow pull less I have a manual on set up,email me maybe I can help you out Ray

Ray,
If you'd forgive the intrusion, I'd love some help
in figuring out the correct adjustments for plows.
I've searched for quite a while to try to find a manual etc. which would thoroughly explain the functions of the different pieces of the implement, and would also give useful insights into setting up the plow for different kinds of fields (e.g. sod, cornstalks, etc.)
Thanks,
Steve
