I think you need some seat time, with patients and practice. Work on getting the plow level (pin vertical) from the seat.

There is nothing wrong with your plow, and a little slop/play is normal. This is simply a curl adjustment that you can do from the seat.

I have the same exact plow that you do.
That being said, I have run snow plows most of my life, Boss, Meyers, etc on pickups and commercial vehicles and I will tell you that this quick attach plow setup on the front of a loader on a tractor like this did take a little bit of getting used to, but after a week or two in various conditions have got it down and am very happy with it. On my Homestead I have a lot of loose Rock and dirt and also 5 miles down an uneven mountain road that we have to plow. One of the problems that I resolved was the fact that it did not have feet. So I was able to buy a replacement feet kit with washers spacers and everything for $53 on Amazon and I fabricated brackets for it until we got a good layer of compacted snow to fill in all of the uneven surfaces and rocks sticking up then I was able to take it off and use that blade on its own.
And now it works amazingly well.

I agree with all of those saying it is a curl adjustment.

You should be able to go to max angle with the blade raised and then adjust curl so that blade lays flat on the driveway. Leave the curl alone and make a note if the position if you have an indicator to reference.

My condolences go out to you "Snow Plow Folks". :tractor:

Many years ago I worked in southern Georgia and one of the locals once asked me how we could stand it up there with all the snow and cold weather. I looked at him with a straight face and said: "if it wasn't for the snow and cold we'd never get all of you tourists to go home after Labor day."

just to expand on what others have said about the pin being vertical, it has to be perpendicular to the ground regardless of any angles with respect to the tractor. in most truck style plows that also equates to the attachment frame being level with the ground, but being level to the ground is also required for plows like the Fisher to have proper trip edge operation. as was mentioned, shoes help, especially until the ground freezes solid, and after it thaws for that last storm of the year.

Yep, and also realize that when the plow is angled, as you raise it, the front will be higher than the trailing side. Adjust your curl so that the plow rest flat on the ground when it is fully lowered, and understand that the front will lift more than the back as you raise it. It's just geometry.
