[QUOTE="Howard150, post: 6225406, member: 30002"] Not so much rearward facing as directed out to the side, which to me indicates underlying problems. With the 3rd disc set out like that then the third furrow should be wider than the rest. Incidentally the front disc is also rearward facing. Back to basics of rudimentary disc setting. not the end of the world if the crank is facing back as it’s sometimes nescessary to have them like that when the ground is really hard. TS 63’s came out of the factory with the front disc like that and some guys run the rear disc on a RSLD in a similar manner. Not talking down to you or lecturing but good ploughing is all about attention to detail. No short cuts I’m afraid First off it’s best to set all the discs with the same basic setting. Make sure the crank is facing forward and that the centre of the disc is over the tip of the share. Check that the splines are not damaged on the swivel (or that the eccentric bolt is free and working) set all the discs for plumb (vertical adjustment) Set the clearance of the disc from the share to land. This should be the thickness of 1 finger. Check the height of the disc above the share at its closest point. Old guys always reckoned on this being 2 fingers(as in 2 fingers for a measure of shorts) Set the skimmers to the disc with the plough in work so that they are all in a similar position relative to the share and the disc. Good luck and hope this helps [/QUOTE]
