Can someone explain what each of the two plow levers do on the older plows? Obviously one is to trip or set the depth? what is the other? Can someone straighten me out?

Thanks

Randy

If you have a clutch lift then there is whatyou use to trip the plow, then there is the lever on the left that sets the depth the plow will work at, and the one on the right is ysed to level the plow; when you start a new land you have to raise it about to the top so the front bottom will go into the ground with the furrow wheel on top of the unplowed ground, then after the first pass you move the lever back down so it raises the front bottom up so that the plow sets level with the furrow wheel in the furrow, some plows have a crank for this instead of a lever so on these you would have the clutch lift lever, the depth lever and a crank instead of lever for leveling; now on a hydrolic lift plow you only have the leveling lever or crank

The lever that ajusts the landside wheel is the depth control. The lever that ajusts the furrow wheel is the leveling lever. When you ajust the leveling lever think of it as leveling front to back not side to side.

Left lever is for plowing depth. Right lever adjusts level of the plow, side to side. Raise the lever to start a new land, lower it to re-level the plow for subsequent furrows, until you start another new land.

It's been over 40 years but I think the right lever adjusts the right wheel and the left lever adjusts the left wheel. You usually don't have to adjust the right wheel as it is allways up on the landside or where you haven't plowed yet. When you start to plow where you haven't plowed yet, you have to adjust the left wheel up to compensate for not being in the furrow. There is a rope attached to the trip assembly in the right wheel that raises and lowers the plow. Boy, did this bring back memories. We used to plow 100 acres a year with a 2-14.

Might you have the left & right swapped? Generally one always faces the same direction of travel of an implement to determine left/right. (This is a bit of fingernails on chaulkboard issue for me, as dad would call left or right whatever way he was facing & we were all supposed to guess which side he meant.... ;)

The left side lever or crank determines depth of furrow, the right lever is set to keep the plow level & match the right side depth to the rear left furrow depth. For the first pass with no furrow, this right lever generally needs to be all the way up so the front bottom goes deep enough.

I agree- L/R is determined by direction of travel. Reminds me of my first 7000 planter and its monitor. Dealer setup man wired the monitor bass ackwards. He said, Well, you mount the monitor on the fender, and as you turn to look at the planter, number one row is on the left. Well, I'm on my third 7000, and with each one I mounted the monitor in front of the steering wheel, and row one is on my left, just like on the planter!. If we're not both headed in the same direction, we are in a heap of trouble.

To adjust the angle when you're breaking a new furrow or have one of the wheels down in a furrow.
