Any suggestions for a good 3 bottom plow that will plow furrows nicely on a steep grade. I have a INT 674 and cannot get my White ?348 to do a good job. It has a tendency to drift downhill and not cut the complete furrow and turn it over.

HI Ron

I use Oliver Raydex, drag plow .

Lower air pressure in the upper tire.

Make sure shears are newer and the right length and cut on the end, ( I got a set that were too long and cut wrong , bolted right on put were not right . Used old one to burn away the extra ( on the back) and put the right angle on the back).

The landslides the longer the better.

Clean plows.

Go slower .

That about it , Good Luck !!

A couple of things, adjust your sway bars, to pull the plow as far as possible. I've got a Case 3 bottem, mounted, made by Pittsburg Plow that you can adjust the plow placement on the cross rod to the lift arms by a series of U bolts. I had to set mine as far as I could to clear my wheel track when I was using a really big tractor. Really nice b/c I may use it on a 65 hp this time and a 110 hp next time.

when u are plowing which way are u laying over the furrows, when u plow on a hill u should plow in a way that the furrows are being throwed up hill, and also plow in an angle, not a step angle just one so that the furrow does not go straight along the hill, this will help the sliding down hill, hope this makes sense its easier to just do then to explain.

a hydraulic hill side helps, other than that, not too much you can do, just a smaller cut will be made.
