[QUOTE="arcobob, post: 6856202, member: 4112"] Somebody will tell me that this theory is wrong but having struggled years ago with a single furrow Ransomes reversible that could be set to plough correctly one way and pulled the tractor all over the place going the other I can have some sympathy. Clearly the tractor wheels were set incorrectly. Try aligning the plough on level ground directly behind the centre of the tractor. Lower the plough and mark the ground along the landside. Lift up and turn the plough over and lower marking along the other landside.. Measure the distance between the two marks and divide by two. This will give the offset measurement from the centre for each furrow. Add the furrow width, in this case 45cm and multiply the total by two. This will give the correct setting for the tractor wheels measured between the tyres. The wheels should be set the same inside width front and back as near as possible. Set correctly the plough should naturally run straight and produce furrows of the same width in both directions. [/QUOTE]
