Bottom plow dilema

[Torrence20 19]

Ok so I have a 310-8 and I just put the part on it to be able to use brinly style attachments. I can’t think of the name of it currently. Anyways I also picked up a bottom plow that has a brinly style connection, although not brinly brand. I’m not actually sure what brand it is. I’ve got a couple questions after using it on the garden today. 
it does not seem offset enough. When the wheels are in the furrow it’s leaving a strip of unplowed soil. The plow pulls directly center line behind the tractor. I’m not sure how these plows are measured. But this one when it’s flat on the ground to the highest point on the moldboard is 10” the coulter wheel is 11.5. Unknown brand as the tag is not legible. My second question is on how far the plow is able to be lifted off the ground. The tractor I have has a cable coming out the back and a length of chain. The chain has Clevis that then runs to the brinly lift. I think it’s hooked in the 3rd link. But it barely raises the plow off the ground at all and with it being uneven it’s really gouging up the surrounding lawn. But I can’t get it to the next highest link. Idk if I’m missing some type of linkage or what. I was really impressed with how the tractor handled the plow though.

First thing I can suggest is to lose the coulter. You won't need it on a worked garden and it might be just in the way. We just flip them upside down in the bracket for safe keeping. 

Plows are measured at a right angle from the tip of the suck point to the widest point at the bottom of the share. 

Looks like an Ohio Steel?

Moving the plow to the right abit would help but not gonna do it with a single hole hitch.

I'll bring in some more plow knowledge @Achto @PeacemakerJack @Shynon@Streetrodchev @jeremi3210

As far as the lift height goes you might be able to lower the clevis on on the hitch arm or raise up front by the rockshaft. It's so different on different models. It's always trial and error and it sometimes seems impossible to get decent lift height given the geometry.

Great suggestion, I could drill a new hole lower down and that would gain me some lift height. I think I’m going to make a new hitch for the front of the plow with maybe 2 additional holes each side for better adjustability. I’ll have to remeasure the plow correctly tomorrow. Might only be an 8” plow

The hitch on the front & the adjustment handle on the rear of the plow, It looks like it is a Simplicity plow for a two wheel walk behind tractor.

I have the brinley plow and it comes with a 3 hole hitch to be assembled and used to offset the plow based on the distance between the rear tractor wheels. Here is diagram https://brinly.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/uegd4rzwootqajx0ygqc.pdf

Instructions might help with your questions.

Go to step 3. Brinley also sells the 3 hole part if that helps or you could fabricate one. https://brinly.com/product/pp-51bh_sleeve_hitch_moldboard_plow/

The tail of the plow I believe is called the frog.  There may be a 1/2” bolt perpendicular to the frog that steers the plow if you will.  You could try messing with that adjustment as needed.

thank you for the info. thats helpful. i actually picked up a cultivator tonight that has the 3 hole so i think ill just swap them. since the cultivator will be fine if its straight behind the tractor, i would think anyways.

thanks for the thought. the frog on mine does not appear to be adjustable

i believe that, it seems a tad small for the tractor but it did perform very well

Plow is from a two wheel, walk behind tractor. Could be a 6” or 8” plow. 

It will need to be mounted further to the right to work with your wheel spacing.
