I'm having trouble with manual flip plow. It plows perfect of one side but the other side doesn't. I can't seem to get it level. It's a two bottom plow.
The back plow leaves a very shallow furrow. I've tried fore and aft on center link but with no results. The frame is not bent in any way. New points and landsides have been put on I thought this would help. Was this type known for being difficult to adjust?

Thanks,
Tim

Setting the depth of the back bottom on a multiple bottom three point plow takes a combination of top link AND the right lift link. When you lengthen the top link to lower the back bottom you raise the point of all bottoms so the plow doesn't suck in the ground as hard. You have to adjust both links to get the points on unplowed ground at the same time with the points a little bit below the rest of the share so all bottoms go into the ground at the same time. Start with the wheels in the furrow and adjust both links until the plow points (at the front) are all on the ground and the rest of the plow share raised a little bit. Its not intuitively obvious which link affects each direction because they interact.

If the bidirectional plow isn't the same in each direction it may be that the pivot axle and bearings are badly worn and you may have to change the adjustment for each direction of plowing or search for an adjustment that will work adequately in each direction. There might be some sort of adjustment to accommodate the difference in tractor tilt, e.g. the degrees of rotation of the plow assembly that needs to be customized for the depth of the furrow the rear wheels are in. I KNOW the links have to be changed after the first pass around the field...

Tim: I would suggest the first place to look is the beam on the bottom that is running shallow. The whole bottom must be misaligned somehow, either tipped up or crooked from side to side. If it's right one way and wrong the other with what you describe, I think it's a case of looking and measuring. Good Luck. Tom.
