Bigdog has a really, really good plan for you. It's so easy to show, but so difficult to explain. You will have to adjust your plow to fit your tractor in 3 different directions (fore/aft, side to side, & yaw/pitch), and then you need to adjust it for getting the wheel of your tractor to line up with the furrow the ploa makes, and then you need to make minor adjustments for the soil conditions & type & moisture level. This is actually pretty simple, but as you can see, every adjustment is intertwined with every other adjustment, so it's very difficult to just tell you in a paragraph or two. Then, every plow is different, and while you said you have a 2-bottom plow, you didn't tell us if it's a 3-point or a pull behind, and that makes a difference. Then what brand it is, so we know which levers or cranks & sliders to tell you to adjust. Then, if it's old & rusty & gummed up with dirt & age it will take several rounds before it shines up & you can actually adjust it much at all, when rusty it will just push dirt & run to the side, not actually turn the dirt. Then, the very first round is always more difficult & requires slightly different settings then the rest of the field. Then, how worn out is the plow lay & the landside - when worn out you have to compensate with adjustments or replace - in hard dry ground a worn out lay won't penetrate the ground no matter what you try..... Again, this is all pretty easy to _do_ - I don't want to make it sound difficult, but it's real diffucult to _say_ without seeing exactly what conditions you are working with right this minute. If I was your neighbor, I could have you up & running in 30 minutes..... There have been some good discussions of this in the past, if you search the archives here I'm sure you will find some good primers on it & should be able to practice a bit, & then come back with specific questions? --->Paul
