[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 5988168, member: 2119"] Another note in case anybody ever reads this. I used to have match up problems even with tractor arms at same depth both ways, plough level back to the front and legs vertical both ways and front furrow width correct and the same width both ways. I had adjusted all the beam to point distances to be the same and set up all the mouldboards the same and set rear depth wheel to same both ways. Yet the front furrow wouldn't quite fill going one way but was OK going other way. The only way round this problem was either to lower the tractor arms a bit deeper going one way when compared to the other way so the front furrow dug enough to fill the trench or (which I found more satisfactory) to incline the plough over a tiny bit from the vertical one way, so that the front furrow ran a bit deeper to better fill the trench. It took me years to work this out and when I finally did, the tractor gearbox went. I can only assume the plough turnover shaft was slightly misaligned in the beam so it didn't present same geometry when turned over. Anyway, that's what adjusting screws are for. [/QUOTE]
