I'm having trouble getting the 4th bottom into the ground, only going about 4-5 inches. This is it just the first pass; do I have to wait for the second pass? Is the snap coupler hitch too long? Do I need to readjust one of the adjustments? If so which ones? landside heel, snap coupler right side, or the center adjustment. Thanks!!

Sorry for the post in the classifields.

Lengthen the center if there's no gauge wheel.

Adjustments, especially tilt, are different the second pass because of the tractor wheel in the furrow.

do a second pass before you make any adjustments
