New 3 bottom sc plow help

     Set your land wheel on a block to simulate how deep you want to plow. Then adjust the plow to set level on the ground. Set your furrow wheel all the way in on the rails and lock them. You may have to adjust for the height of the front wheels if they are row crop. If you don't have fluid in the tires, you may have to add wheel weights depending on your type of soil. Typically it takes 4 wheel weights each wheel to equal the amount of weight of the fluid. It has been recommeded to have one or two more weights on the land side to compensate for slippage on grass or residue. If the plow has been used previously you should be good. You possibly could need to adjust the centering of the plow. The coulters should be set 1" above the tip of the plow and approximately 1/2"

towards the land side from the shin.

                                       Good luck

     You'll also find out you can hook up your plow from the tractor seat, without getting off of the tractor. Something 3 point people can't do. or the D series either. Sometimes I have to move my plow on the trailer, I load it with the skid loader and when I get to where the tractor is I just back the tractor up on the trailer hook the plow up from the seat and drive away.

take an angle grinder with 100 grit disc on it( or wire wheel,takes longer) and shineup the moldboards and points real good.Unless you've got sandy soil,it'll take a few rows to 'grind' off the rust that forms from sitting around.

when done for the season you should coat the shiny surfaces with grease so next season it'll be a lot easier to get onto the fields.

oh and be sure to add neversieze to the beaming screw and other things that turn easily now...they won't next spring...unless you grease/oil.lube them up too.
