Tested the plow...again

Recommended Posts

Well, I re-vamped my hitch again. Now it's 2 pins, and the plow can swivel vertically, but not horizontally. This worked well, I'm just going to have to fabricate a lift with downpressure to keep it in the ground. The concrete blocks didnt work too well.

If the pitch is set right you shouldn't need any wt on a plow, the tip should pull it into the soil til it is running level..MPH ps is your plow shinny and rust free???

Like Marty said, if the pitch is set correctly (point touching ground - rear about 6"-8" higher), plow will pull itself into ground without any extra weight. Shiny and rust free makes a BIG difference (I learned the hard way). Get to work with the sand paper. http://home.att.net/~herb.niewender/pulldown.jpg

Yea sandpaper, did you have to remind me of one project before spring Herb. I was really hoping plowing hardpack snow on the driveway would have cleaned my plow...MPH
