I don't know if I have the plow adjustment wrong, if the ground is too wet, or if my tractor is just too small, but I can't plow a darn thing! Maybe it's the sod making it too hard to plow? I can't even go deep enough to scrape the sod off the top of the ground before my tractor just starts spinning the tires and digging in! The Satoh has loaded agg tires and a diff lock, but not enough traction. I can start with the plow just low enough to start digging in and go about 4 feet before the tractor starts spinning and stops in its tracks. Then I can lift the plow and get going again, but it just repeats this over and over. I guess if I was a farmer, my family would starve.
Can anyone give any advise to someone so new to this that I have no clue what I am doing?

Draft control. If the plow is sinking in to deep, you will stop the tractor. I do not not know if your Satoh is equipped with draft control (2nd lever by the
3ph control) but it will allow you to set the depth the plow can cut in ( say 8" ) which will also put weight on the back tires created by the sucking action of the plow.
