[QUOTE="Bignor Farmer, post: 7730969, member: 4405"] Could be a different depth either side, tractor tyre pressures or mouldboard stay. Perhaps you adjusted something for your last finish and didn’t put it back? I’d go back to basics, slacken mouldboard stays, measure and mark some fixed distances along the boards and get the plough as level and square as possible front to back and left to right by measuring to fixed points on the beam and legs. I did this on my brand new match plough and it was amazing how far off it was. Go ploughing with the lift arms the same length, get the plough going level both ways on the top link, get the front furrow width roughly right, check the depth both ways and only then adjust the lift arm as a last resort if you haven’t got independent turnover stops on the headstock. Don’t try and adjust it to get the ploughing to match, adjust it to get the plough square to the ground in both directions. Hopefully you’ll get it doing the same job/error either side which you can then dial out but in my opinion if you can’t get it doing the same thing on both sides without constantly playing with the lift arm length you’ll be on the back foot at every ploughing match. There is a decent guide somewhere from Kverneland which tells you how to measure the bodies etc and get it square. A bit harder on a 2 furrow but still helpful. [/QUOTE]
