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
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
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
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
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
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
Hi All I have been busy in my new garden hope you like
Some of the work some of drink being drunk nice feeling of a job well done as a matter of interest the drain cover that I saved is a slab of sandstone with a square hole cut in it and a grill added well thought out and seems as old as the house which dates from 1750
Moved into new home looking around for dog walks in the area found this 5 mins from house and more to come hope you like
it is called an Sisis tractor has what I think is a seeder also found is a Lewis single furrow revisable plough and for good measure an iseki rotovator there is more in the next field more later
It is that time of year again shoring up the coast line,This time the park put in rock armour I topped it of with top soil levelled it of and sowed grass seed today will roll it in tomorrow
Hire a rough cut walk behind mower cut the brambles to the ground rake them up then once you have got on top of it then use your newly acquired wheel horse ? to keep it all in check
Plough.

If you can vary the width you can vary the depth
