Kuhn multi master 121

[TNSmassey]

Evening all.
I have bought a Kuhn Multimaster 121..
Been out with it today which was an education!!
The chap that owned it before me tried to use it as an on land plough so everything had been adjusted..
I’ve about got it somewhere near now, but something doesn’t seem quite right. In order to have the plough legs vertical whilst ploughing, the turnbuckles are almost wound fully in with only 5 threads to spare.. when the plough is in transport position (fully raised) you can really notice how pitched over the plough is!
Does this sound right? Anyone else experienced this?
Arm lengths and tyre pressures are perfectly set.. just seem bizarre that the turnbuckles need winding in so much to the point where they have nothing left.
-plough set to 16”
Thanks, T

Is it hydraulic front furrow and hydraulic vari width

Did previouse owner cut some of the pitch adjusters to use it on land ,,we ran a master 140 fixed 5x14inch and there was plenty of thread left even using it at 12 inch depth ..
Kuhn are a long beam plough so the pitch angle does look abit savage

Hydraulic front furrow
Manual spacers for width

Good point! But I don’t think so no.
They look as they should.
Yea when you drop the plough off the headstock is well pitched over

Well… when you alter the front furrow it completely alters the whole pulling angle of the plough lol.

The plough legs have to be vertical when ploughing,so I don’t see how you can set it any different.

We have a 121 and yes to get the plough to run right you need the turnbuckles wound in a good way! It looks does look odd when out of work and when you drop the plough off. Once it’s it’s set up if you adjust the depth you need to adjust the headstock stops by the same number of turns.
