Re: plowing - what's wrong?
Well guys I managed to turn this 2-bottom plow into a 1-1/2 bottom plow I guess. I took the moldboard and cutting edge off one side so just the frame is left on that one. My tractor still wont pull it! I was really upset after spending half a day breaking rusty bolts off this thing only to get the same results. My tractor does not have draft control, it has what Satoh calls position control, but that's not the problem. It turns out the dealer lied to me when I got this tractor 2 years ago. They told me the tires were loaded and based on my crude test they are not! I positioned the valve stems so they were at the bottom and pushed the valve in - nothing but air! No wonder this thing has such tracton problems with this heavy loader on the front and no counter weight on the back.
So, I guess I need to load the tires. What are my options and what are the costs? Anything I can do myself for dirt cheap?
