Turning Plow Setup

I have a 2 bottom Ford (14" I think) turning plow, which I pull with a '64 Ford 4000. It usually takes me several times to get the plow adjusted via the lift arm leveling crank and the top 3 pt. link. It will either just barely scratch the ground, or bury up over the plows. I can control the depth with Draft control, but the lack of "cut" into the ground is usually the problem.

Is there a method of setup without the 15 minutes of trial & error? Do I need to replace the plow shares? All advice is very welcomed.

Thanks,
Tommy D.

There are a few straighforward steps to setting a three point plow. Since the first pass across the field, the right wheels are not in a furrow, you need to adjust the right lift link and the top link so the plow bottoms are equal distance from the ground and the plow share tips just barely tipped down. Use the draft control to set the depth. Use the plow links to set the side to side level and tip a little foward to have some suction into the ground.

After the first furrow, with the right wheels in the furrow, reset the plow position on the unplowed ground just like you did initially.

The last time I tried plowing with an 8N it tended either to head for china when the Furguson system would lift the rear wheels and kill off traction or the plow would rise out of the ground. Never a consistent furrow depth. I found I could plow much better with a heavier plow and tractor with a case 2x16s on the back of my MF-135.

Try the new shares it will make a lot of difference. I think they are around $10 +-.
