The Fife Plooman

Hi Stormin Change of thought Find a piece of channel that will take the plough hitch make three or four holes in it to accept the pin measure the wide from inside of back wheel. make first hole 7 inch second hole 8 inch third hole 9 inch fourth hole 10 inch weld your flat bar to the back this should make the hitch like the letter T on its flat now i have though it out I can now go to sleep. sorry about so many changes If you can vary the width you can vary the depth George S

Hi Stormin Trial and error The silver painted steel can you widen it to allow you to put the hitch in-between the the rectangle if you can make the space fit the plough hitch top or bottom using same pin arrangement this will level out the angle of the plough can I suggest you then weld the rusted flat bar to the top of the painted steel this should also help the plough angle I think it will look sweeter and should look better and i believe it should work better George S

Hi Stormin When you have the plough on the ground in a straight line with the tractor measure the distance from the inside of the back wheel to the ploughshare this will give you the width of the furrow if eight inches wide you can get 5 inches deep if 10 inches wide you can get 6 inches deep if you are too deep for the width the plough will push the furrow over not turn it over hope this helps George S

Hi Stormin Can I suggest that you put wheels front and back on a 2 inch board check if plough touches the ground if it does try 4 inch deep board if it does the try six inch this will give you an idea of the depth you can attain if you cannot get these depths you may have to move the hitch point Give me a pm if you need any help George S

Hi Stormin Get it free before you start ploughing it will make all the difference it is called trial trial trial have been there

Hi Stormin The two threaded bolts should be put in adjust them to give you some free play believe it or not half inch of play can make a difference try it. best of luck with your ploughing George S

Hi Stormin Consider making your bracket to fit pin hole on plough bracket this will give you lateral movement in case you hit a stone it allows plough to move left or right please see hitch on my gutbrod hope this helps my check chains will have free play for the same reason George S
