Help with 12" plow

[motocephalic]

tried to load a pic and this shut down my entire interent, hmmm, things are strange lately.

anyhow, this is a borrowed computer, but I go the plow working well, by loading a large weigh (rock) onto it, recalling that my dad did this years ago. I am not sure why it worked, but it really started plowing very deep after that. Kinda strange, thanks for all your input, I tried loading a pic of me in my kubota therapy bliss, but i guess these wifi types thought the picture was over the edge. Until I get a new computer of figure it out, I will be happily plowing and tilling in prep for next year

raining hard here and I got a connection so I will try and load a vid on utube later, The tiller made hay out of the thick sod here but I think it will be a few years till the ground is great for gardening. Did I say that love this tractor?

here is my first video, but you get the idea

I think the camera guy is more interested in watching you than the plow, but we get the general idea. Glad you got it figured out.

Looks to me like you need to lengthen the top link out to level the plow out so it is actually cutting in, instead of trying to scrape along the top. The landslide should be running down in the furrow.

I thought that it might be the sweet spot by going a little more level as well, thanks for the tip. I will try it on the next little piece I plow.

You might not have the tractor tire running in the furrow and, if so would need to slide the plow over to the left. Level the plow and check the furrow and I think you will be good to go.

Lengthen the top link so the Landslide is setting close to level in the furrow. Looks to me like you need to shift the plow to the right so you are cutting the next 12" inside your right wheel (furrow wheel). Easy way to do this is use a straight edge along the Landslide and colter extending up under the tractor, then measure from there to inside of right tire, loosen the mount bolts on the tow hitch of the plow and shift the plow over as needed. This should help make the sod roll over more, leaving a smoother plowed surface.

Thanks for all your help, there is so much more to it than I realized. When I was a boy, never got that much technical instruction, now it starting to make sense.

I'll be trying these new tips on the next piece.

Looks like the extra weight did the trick. I had the opposite problem in the the plow would dig in too deep and stall my tractor. I finally adjusted the top link right and works great now. It is amazing how just that small adjustment makes a difference. Nice video
