Kverneland es ,pulling only at one side

[farmerjimz]

I got a new kverneland es plough and is pulling only at one side , when the right wheel is in the furrow
I measured everything and all is identical

You probably need to adjust the true line. This is the angle of the beam to the headstock (or the furrow, whichever way you want to look at it). There is either a manual turnbuckle, or adjustment in the ram which pulls the plough in to turn over.

This guide is useful. https://uk.kvernelandgroup.com/cont.../file/Ploughing+Guide+-+Single+Pages+2008.pdf

Thanks for the answer but es model dont have true line adjustment
I just noticed that crosshaft was loose , so i guess that was the problem

Could also be a tyre soft, or a lift arm a couple of turns longer, or a depth stop half a turn different, or the land wheel clamp loose

Tyres are the same between them , lift arms and turn stops , and depth wheel the same
Only the crosshaft was loose and was moving by itself

What do you mean by "pulling only at one side"?

Measurements are only a starting point, I've never used a reversible that matched up when everything was set with a tape measure, they all need a tweak here and there.
I've been offered a go on a new Kverneland ES later this week, I expect to spend a few hours in the field getting it right in some heavy ley ground but once it's ploughing that properly it'll plough anything.

I mean its doing it only when right hand wheels are in the furrow
At the other side its pulling straight

Has centering & tightening the clamps on the cross shaft now stopped or reduced the tugging @farmerjimz ?

Dont know yet because fields got dry and i cannot plough
But i guess thats the problem cause its doing it only at one side and when its doing it the front furrow was taking more soil

Our on land plough often needs a tweak left or right on the auto steer screen. Inch maybe 2 at the most mainly to the right to get it to match.
