4-14 plowing SC D19

Well when Okay today not right but ok. Still a little light on the 4 bottom. Does good on the hillside, pushing up hill, turning over. But they say the D19 is a five plow tractor, not here in Western PA, I'm having enough for her in 2nd low and high. Only plowing about 6-8" and that is around 4-5 " on the forth bottom. I don't think a D17 would pull a 4 bottom here. This ground was all plowed 2 yrs ago, disk and harrowed last year. Plow points are all 90% or better, trash guards and coulters. The coulters need to be set.

Hi KC  The tail wheel is mounted I have it set for 7" above the heel of the landslide. It is made to only go up or down. 

KC is right. Takes some tinkering to set the plow correctly. Have pulled 4X16's (no tail wheel, just a landside) with a D17SIV in 3rd hi in heavy sod that had not seen a plow in 30 years until I hit a rock and really lifted the front end off the ground (then I slowed it down to 2nd Hi).

 I wish I could help you over the computer with setting a plow but I cant, I have to walk behind and watch the plow go threw the field and see what its doing to be able to set a plow. The other posters are right as far as some preliminary settings in the yard, but unfortunatly thats only close, which works in hand grenades and horseshoes but no so well on a plow, but it will get you in the same ball park. Once the plow is scoured and set properly it pulls much easier.  The furrows should all look identical if set properly, you should not be able to tell one pass from another.See if you can find yourself an owners manual on ebay or something even if its not for your same plow it will still help you and give you the measurements for the wheels etc. YOU MUST have the traction booster working its day and night in pulling a plow. I had a customer that had a 8050 MFD he bought a new 4-16 semi mount plow, a left over Allis Chalmers when duetz destroyed them, I urged him to buy 5-18/20 White 588 but because Duetz was giving this inventory away he bought the AC, I argued it was to small for that big tractor he told me I should ride with them because there ground was so "heavy" the tractor had its handful, So I went out to see this for myself, there old plow an identical AC model but older they had pulled apart numerous times with a 7040 and than finished destroying it with the 8050 hence the reason they bought a new one. I made a couple rounds with them fine tuning the plow to the tractor but it still pulled like a stone, I couldnt imagine what the deal was when it dawned on me the traction booster was off, I reached over him to grab the booster lever pulled it up into draft and the tractor just took off, it scared the owner so bad he shoved in the clutch becuase he thought the tractor had come unhooked from the plow, he looked at me and asked what the hell I had just done, when I explained to him the traction booster system it became perfectly clear why they had pulled the old plow into pieces, needless to say that tractor has been plowing since 1988 WITH the traction booster and the plow is still in one piece.

HI Bob  KC and Greg KY Tom

 Well I had the right adjustment arm on the right side on top and not the bottom. Made 3 pass on hillside looking like it level things out. If it ever stops raining I'll try it on a level field.  See if I can get the TB to work. 

 Thanks !! Teddy
