I got my transport valve put on the wd45 last nite and all the lines run. Know how do I adjust it, I know there is only the knob but do I turn it all the way out or partially?

Any help is appreciated. I will be using it at the plow day next saturday with the semi mounted 3 bottom plow.

thanks

I run mine tractors all the way out for plowing and all the way in if I don't need the weight transfer and somewhere in the middle for more or less weight transfer. I'd start with it all the way out first and you can tell if it needs more or less weight on the tractor's rear wheels. If the front of the plow is coming out of the ground then the valve needs to go in more, if the hole plow is coming out of the ground then turn it out more.

All the way out(open)!When T/B linkage is all adjusted correctly,the front of the plow will be lifted enough to keep you rolling with out lifting the back.An inch up on the quadrant is a good starting point for the lift lever.
