Ford plow question

I have a two bottom ford plow for my NAA. Should I use it with the anti-sway bars attached (like with my Bushhog?) Or, should I let the plow swing free behind the tractor and follow its own path?

Thanks.

The 20+ years I have plowed with a 3-point, we never used anti-sway bars. The plow will "seek" and follow the natural draft line. However, Allan's suggestion to "tighten things up" would probably be fine. Just be sure to leave some slop.

Have to agree with Alan. Most anything I use behind the 8N is used with at least one sway bar. When plowing, it is important to keep the plow and tractor tires in some sort of alignment. Just my .02 Ben

GLC,

The rule says that any ground implement should be able to "swing" and just follow the line of pull.

However, I can tell you that three point plows will drive ya nuts will all that slop and swingin' going on back there when you lift 'em and also if you are working on a slope.

I pin 'em up "fairly" tight; not totally rigid, but tight. Might not be right, but it sure lets me keep what little hair I have left. :>(

I don't own a plow, so I'm not speaking from experience, but...

Everything that I've read/heard is to allow it to follow its own path (NO anti-sway bars).
