I saw that, and a few other things I need to adjust. I blocked it up on the flat pavement making the left side 8" higher, then leveled it both ways, then started in the old dead furrow of the patch. The 2nd moldboard did not take much of a cut, and it wanted to suck in deeper than it should, I was using draft control, but I am not sure if it was working. I took some video actually and both were working equally, I should have checked the depth on that furrow, check the beams for being level again. The lower side of this small patch is steeper so between the lean, travel speed and looking back, I was trying to monitor its performance to see where or what needed to be done, but there was a lot of looking back and forth. I'd rather have someone on the tractor and walk along to see better.
I noted the position on the draft control lever, raised the depth up. Kind of a trial/error thing plowing this patch. The top soil is deep here, but I don't want to turn up any of the lighter soil that is all clay and rocks, so it should be 8" for depth, 2-16's. I'll have to measure the furrow wall on the last pass. My single bottom when set up on my 850 ford, plows very nice, depth is correct, it glides along and rarely did I shear a bolt, only in areas I did not work before. SO I had hoped to get this one to work like that, not too far off. The beams look tilted up in the one photo, I'll fool with it some more and am open to comments for sure. The back coulter was ok on depth, the front was a little deep, though they were set from the last time I used it, in '11 or '12, its been 3-4 years now. It does need trash boards too, the old crab grass was loading up.

Today's Featured Article - Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
