Proper way of setting up a one bottom plow

A plow should be run no deeper than about 1/2 it's plowing width, so a  10" plow should run no deeper than 5".  The best way to set one up is  to first determine the depth you'll be plowing.  If 5", then run your left  tires up on  5" blocks to mimic plowing position.  Then adjust the side to side tilt till the  plowshare is level to the ground.  Then adjust 3rd arm until the rear of  the land slide is level to 1/4" from the ground. If plow has an adjustable pitch built in, then use this instead of 3rd arm to adjust.

This is a basic starting  point & you may find you need to adjust further to suit soil  condition, or to make up for any stress flex.

  I recommend adding a depth gauge wheel.  Makes it much easier...no  fishing for depth.  Here's a quick adjust one I built for my "Twin  10's".
