in your case,if i am understanding correctly you have one tire in all the way ,other OUT all the way.off tire can be set anywhere what matters is the furrow wheel. measure the distance you have this plow set to inside of furrow wheel and youll find that t matches the formula quite closley. in Your particular case, your using the extra tire width on the land side to make up for slippage on the furrow side.your tractor with tire set out on the land side simply moves farther with each turn around the center off setting side pull.which is 100% fine.if thats the way you like it. your simply making up tire slippage with distance on the otherside. no problem there.BUT heres the rub.tires slippage causes undue wear,higher fuel comsumtion etc etc simply because if tire is spinning it is not pulling. a more effecient use of your tractors actual power could be had if you minumized slippage instead of offsetting it. by adjusting plow correctly,narrowing or widening width of cut the proper amount you could minumize slippage ,gain actual pulling power,save fuel( or at least get all the work you could out of each gallon) reduce tire wear,reduce wear overall on your trcator because it wouldnt be fighting with a constantly varying load, and alot of other things. basically youve set your TRACTOR to the plow, try setting your plow to the tractor and youll find it works much easier.formula simply tells you how much distance you need to furrow wheel,and if you cant achieve that,how much offset is needed. thats ALL. and you will find even on yours its very close to right.minumizing draft for your plows condition ,local soil conditions etc means you need to tweak the adjustments slightly.to do that you need to know HOW and what to adjust on YOUR plow and tractor,to minimimze draft.that can change even over the course of a day as your field condition changes or as your shares wear etc.formula is a starting point,it wont vary much either way.
