Plow Setup Guidance From Farm Engineers
Farm engineers advise measuring down suction and land suction of the share before using a new plow and recording the results. When sharpening, reset to the same suction. Wobbly rollers increase draft and roughen plowing so colter bearings should run true and be replaced if worn. Colters cut one half to one inch wider than the share with two fingers width above. The jointer should be behind the colter hub just enough to avoid wedging and cut a four inch ribbon of soil up to about 24% inches deep. When no rolling colter is used, place the jointer point over the share point, like a disc jointer.
