I'm trying to turn over the garden with my 2 bottom plow that I just got for my Ford 9N. The problem is that the plow digs in and the "sausage" starts to turn over, but just as soon as it passes the end of the moldboard, it rolls back. Is there something that I may be doing wrong or is it not set up right? Kind of new at this and not sure what the problem is. Thanks

Plow terminology: The plow has a land side and a furrow side. If it has a colter it can be a fixed or rolling colter (looks like a flat disk blade). The colter does cut the sod but follows the drawbar so cannot steer the plow. Hope this helps.

Basically you attach the ploughs to the hitch, lower it to the ground (on a level surface) and adjust the bottoms (using the top link) so that they both touch the ground at the same time. You then need to adjust them (with the lveling crank and by adjusting the 'drawbar') to keep the tractor from turning (being pulled) while they have a bite.
Here is a section of a post that I copied from the 'N' board archives. It was written by Zane and is the best way to set ploughs, but is a bit hard to follow if you are not familiar with the method:

"Attach the plow to the 3 point hitch. Drive the tractor's left rear wheel up on a 6 inch block. use the right hand leveling crank and the top link screw adjustment to level the plow share and the land slide with the ground. Do this on a good level spot or on a level slab of concrete. Pull a string from the back of the land slide to the front of the tractor or futher out in front of the tractor and make a stright line beside the land slide to the front of the tractor.The line should angle slightly to the right front wheel of the tractor about 6 inches more than the left. This is to assure that the plow doesn't try to turn the tractor right when the plow comes in contact with the earth. Think of the plow acting as a rudder would on a boat. The way to adjust the angle of the landslide to the left is to loosen the bolts that hold the drawbar that goes across the plow and attaches to the two lower links and twist it in it's cradle untill the plow is pointing in the right direction.(string pointing to the right at the front of tractor) The plow will have to be raised to let it more easily be moved. Some plows have adjusting bolts that help in turning the plow and in sequering it in position. This is just a premilary adjustment and when in the field it may be necessary to tilt the plow slightly forward by shortening the top link etc."

I also agree that you may have been going a tad slow. N's were designed to be able to pull all day in second gear...

Thanks, Salmoneye. See what you mean about a little hard to follow. Think I got it down, though. One question - is the landslide the piece at the front of the plow that looks like a sharp disc? I thought that it was used for cutting the ground. But it's real function is to help "steer" the plow? Let me know if I'm on the right track, now. Also, I was plowing with the throttle at about 3/4 and in first gear. A little too slow? Thanks alot. MO

Do you have the plow running level? Side to side level is adjusted with the leveling crank on the right lift arm of the tractor. front to back is adjusted with the top link. Need to experament untill you get 2 even furrows that match the previous 2. Hope this helps, it comes together with experience! JIM

Mo, Try again with a little more speed and see what happens.
