C_hasbeen 249 #1 Posted February 23, 2020 I have a turning plow I want to plow 6 1/2 deep I put that amount under the land side tires and went and set the bottom of the plow almost flat but a bit high in the back, I lined up the inside of the furrow side wheel with the edge of the share. I have 55# wheel weights an will fill all of my tires I do have tire chains also. Can you fellas look at my photos and tell me if I am close? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Razorback 1,035 #2 Posted February 23, 2020 With it lowered to the floor, adjust so the landside (The trailing end of the plow) is 1" off of the ground. Once you start turning a furrow, that should be pretty close. Maybe even more like 1-1/2" to get a 6-1/2" deep furrow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,033 #3 Posted February 23, 2020 If the gauge wheel at the back stays on the ground you should be golden. If the wheel raises off the ground as you are plowing adjust the tip of the plow down slightly. That is what they call the suck - plow pulls itself down into the ground and rides on the landslide - the flat bar behind the point. In theory you should not need the gauge wheel.

Garry If I get it set right the gage wheel is comming off than, the plow has a cast iron beam and is heavy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The plow dogs will be along with good advice. @PeacemakerJack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,033 #7 Posted February 24, 2020 I would not be surprised if that plow was first intended for a two-wheel walking tractor. The gauge wheel looks to be long enough to have been dropped for transportation and raised for plowing. That is the first cast iron beam I've seen.
