In Reply to: Pull Type Plow Set Up posted by Banditfarmer on March 21, 2017 at 20:18:57:
Every plow manufacturer I am aware of put out a nice manual on how to adjust and hitch their plows. If it was as simple as set this lever to that and that adjuster to this there would not be any adjusters on a plow. Unless the hitching is off by a quarter mile a plow that had good wear parts will pull straight. Watching people try to plow at plow days has taught me that precious few have a handle of the fact that a worn out plow isnt going to pull right or plow right no matter how many things you adjust. You are correct that when everything is just as it should be you can unpin the drawbar brace. As a matter of fact most manuals will tell you do do that and then drop the pin in the hole it fits in when the plow is in the ground. Bottom line is if your interested in the best performance the very first thing you need to do is get the wear parts back to spec. Then hitch the plow so the front bottom is cutting the correct width. Then IF needed and possible adjust the wheel tread so the line of draft is correct, the importance of line of draft is not to make the plow pull straight, it is because the plow will pull easier when correct. Incorrect line of draft increases the pressure on the landsides when too far left, and pressure on the moldboards when too far right, both make the plow pull harder.
