Moldboard Plow Features
Refer to Figure 2-1:
Above is a list of major features reviewed in this section.
Knowing the location and how these features work will
make handling your plow easier. Not all features listed
are covered in this section.
Set Plow Depth
The plowing depth can be determined by measuring the
height of the vertical wall in the furrow. This depth should
not exceed 7". Set the depth by adjusting the position of
the tractor 3-point control lever. Refer to tractor
Operator’s Manual for detailed description.
Level The Plow
Refer to Figure 2-1:
The plow is leveled left to right and front to back with it in
the ground and the tractor’s right front tire and right rear
tire in the furrow. The furrow must be at the proper
plowing depth.
1. Level plow left to right.
a. Stop the tractor on level ground with the plow in
the ground at operating depth and tires on the
right side of the tractor in the plowed furrow.
b. Without changing the plowing depth, shut the
tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 9.
c. Adjust one of the lower 3-point lift arms up or
down to level the plow frame from left to right.
2. Level plow front to back.
a. Adjust 3-point center link to level the plow frame
from front to back as follows:
•
Shorten 3-point center link to raise the back of
the plow.
•
Lengthen 3-point center link to lower the back of
the plow.
3. Recheck plow levelness.
a. Return to the tractor to begin plowing.
b. Travel forward several feet with plow in the ground
at plowing depth.
c. Stop plowing and recheck levelness of the plow. If
needed, repeat steps 1-2.
Align Lower Hitch Frame
Refer to Figure 2-1:
The leading plow share (#16) must have its wing tip
aligned to cut slightly into the previously plowed furrow. If
needed, make the following adjustment:
1. With plow in the ground and the tractor’s right tires in
the previously plowed furrow, measure distance the
wing tip of plow share (#16) must be moved left or
right to be slightly into the previously plowed furrow.
Record this dimension and direction of movement.
2. Raise plow out of the ground and park tractor with
plow lowered on level, hard ground.
3. Unhook plow from tractor. See “Unhook 3-Point
Plow” on page 11.
