I've got a set of 2-14'S. Never used drags before. Do you set em' up the same as 3-point? Should the plow wheel be in the furrow with the rear tractor wheel ( r.c. tractor )? How about a little explanation on antique plow usage?

If your pull-type plow has two adjustable levers on it, the left one is used to adjust plowing depth, and the right one is used to level the plow when it is in the ground. When making your first round striking out a land you need to lower the right side of the plow so it cuts a furrow while the right wheel rides on unplowed ground. On the next round, that right wheel is in the furrow, and the lever is moved to level the plow.

The plow should pull straight if lined up according to the line of draft. The line of draft of any moldboard plow is not the centerline of the plow- it is 1/4 bottom width to the right of center. The tongue of the plow should be aligned to match the line of draft, and the right rear tractor wheel adjusted to run along side of the furrow wall when the wheel is in the furrow and the plow hitch aligned with the tractor centerline.

hi, yes the plow wheel runs in the furrow with the rear wheel of the tractor. unless it's been moved, the plow toung should be set right to take the right width on the first bottom. usually, you will have to set your tractor wheel in or out to match the plow if it doesn't already match. sometimes just moving the tractor drabar will make the plow jump out of the furrow, but not always. there is a draft that you have to get set so the plow will follow correctly, so try the drabar,thrn maybe you will have to set the wheel of the tractor in or out, you may have to readjust the plow toung as well.
