The book does not or I have not found dimension
specifically for 3 4 5 bottom plows . Kelly's
picture shows a 2 bottom plow, fast hitch .
I admit I have never used a fast hitch plow.
There probrobly is an adjustment to point the
plow toward or away from the furrow to adjust the
width of cut of the front bottom. But to have
wheel set wider than the dimensions will result
in having to adjust the plow so it is pointed
to the furrow in order to get the proper
width of cut on the front bottom. THAT SAID,
I would leave the on land wheel alone, find
out if the plow is 14" or 16' then try to
get the furrow wheel close to the proper
dimension. maybe add a couple of inches.
Dimensions for a 14" plow is 25 1/2 "
plus 6 " to get to the center of the tire =
tires 62 1/2" center to center on tires
NOT ENOUGH ,you need 10" more to get 6'
center to center. Five " each side. WON'T WORK
I don't think you could adjust the plow to
make that front bottom plow the proper width.
Get a three bottom and we can start this
discussion over. Three 14" bottom will change
the center line of draft of the plow to get you
about 6' center to center on the tires.
My last plowing job was 7 bottom variable
width plow 175 HP wheels set about 7 feet.
That plow would do 6' wide up to 12'wide, The
secret was in the angle of attack of the bottoms
to get the front furrow width correct all done
from the seat.
