One bottom Plow Questions

South42 · May 5, 2011

Need some help here with this plow that I just picked up. Hooked it up to Kubota L245DT tonight. Got it lined up and leveled and laid it to a small piece virgin ground. First cut was awesome, it rolled the ground so wonderfully. Why is plowing so fun?
Anyway, next pass and I notice I am covering, but not turning about 3 inches of sod...for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the plow any further to the right and still keep it lined up (front to back) with the direction of the furrow. If I move my right lift arm to the right, then the plow is angled to the left, my left lift arm is as far to the right as the chain will allow it.
Here are some pics, any advice on adjusting this thing would be great.

I hate to tell you this, but, you may need to bring in your right tractor tires. Before you hook to any plow, The tractor track width must be set first. Ken Sweet

From the pictures you should be able to move the entire three point hitch over using the two nuts seen in the one photo. Don't know how much thread you have to work with but more could be threaded.

Does tire/track width need to be some ratio of the plow width or something? How do you know how to adjust your tires?

I tried working those nuts and couldnt get them to budge, even after a generous amount of PB spray. I am not far off and wondering if going a little deeper might help. I can adjust my right tire, but with no more than I have to plow, I might just work the tire on the right side of the furrow. This summer I plan on modifying this plow to make it a little more easily adjustable.

A 12 inch plow should have the tractor measurements setup like this: 23 inches from center of draw bar to inside edge of right rear tire. 14 inch plow, 25 inches, 16 inch plow 27 inches. Ken Sweet
