Plowing with vac and ford plow

I took suggestions from the group, ordered a case plow manual (Mainly for Eagle hitch info) and added the second bottom back on. Bottom 2 is taking a 12" cut even though it is a 14", when I redid the plow that is how it set up. Bottom 1 has about 2" overlap on the tire so both are doing 12". The plow beam is in a straight line parralel to the furrow. I do have plenty of room to adjust either way. The centerline of the tractor hits bottom 2 about 2 or 3" right of the edge.

I put the eagle hitch links in the first hole rather than second and it made a big difference. The plow goes deep and stays deep. Made it narrow as there were concerns about traction. Vac handles it ok, though all the toughest plowing is done. I have 1 set of wheel weights no fluid, no slipping. The nose of the tractor does want to go righ. I know I can do some adjusting. I can also move the plow left 2" with the shear point right at the edge of the tire as in real life the tire is never scrubbing the furrow anyway. My question is about wheel spacing. THe measurements they give are always givin assuming both wjee;s are set the same. Other places mention moving the right wheel in (which I did), but don't say specifically that you have to move the left in as well. I didn't think it made any difference on the left wheel, but since we are dealing with triangle geometery here, maybe the left wheel matters. I would like advice on this if anybody has some.

About the time you get it all figured out you'll be done plowing. Then wont plow again for years and forget all you have learned. lol. No sounds like your just about there, good work. Post a picture if you can. gobble

You are right on that. I only have an acre of garden scattered over a frew different plots and most runs are 75' or less. I can never keep the plow in the ground long enough to get it all figured out! Still better than roto tilling. I did in 2 hrs what would have taken 2 weeks with the troy.

Maybe add some weight to the front to keep from pulling it over to the side.

Yes on weight. Just fishing for some knowledge if the position of the left wheel makes a difference. I don't think it does, but I don't know much.

With the LH wheel set wider than the RH, the left one has more leverage to push the front of tractor to the right. Same as having a cheater pipe on a wrench. Both rear wheels pulling the same, but the LH is further from centerline of tractor = more leverage.

Thanks. The tire thing makes sense.
