Looking for best way to correctly adjust steel tail wheel on Fast Hitch plows

I was wondering if anyone has any information on the recommended way of setting up a steel tail wheel on a Fast Hitch plow with adjustable steel depth wheel. The steel depth wheel rides just slightly ahead of steel tail wheel and is just to the left of it when looking from behind. I wanted to adjust the steel tail wheel so as to try to prevent the plows from skewing side ways as much as possible when plowing the furrows to the up hill side. I was wondering what is the general guide lines or measurements for setting the steel tail up in relationship to the land slide part of the plow to bare pressure on the solid dirt side of the furrow and how far down should it be set. My goal is to set the steel tail to take as much load as possible and still plow. I was hoping that someone out there might have some recommended measurements or procedure for setting up the steel tail wheel from a plow manual, but I also would like to hear suggestions from others that are using Fast Hitch plows.

Thanks, Ray in Pa.

I am not at all familiar with a fasthitch plow, but I too would look to other places to make your adjustments. Hitch angle & center of pull would have a lot more to do with it than the tail wheel on plows I am familiar with.

The side draft of the plow should be offset by good landslides. The tale wheel really isn,t used to take care of side draft all though it may help. The hitch pull bar may need to be adjusted to make the front of the plow lead toward the land.
