Ploughing

[Rust]

Do you think discs could hold out back???

There's no way you would plough with a disc here at the moment.

I tried winding the depth wheel in and, yes it went in but was way to deep. So wound it out again, so I’m back to front furrow it is full and looking back 2-3-4-5-6 getting less and less. Ploughing is level, beam is level. Ground is hard but other ploughs in next field aren’t having this problem which have similar ground. Which in turn won’t allow the front to match up speed won’t help pushing the front helps but is to deep.

Can you post some pictures? If the beam is level and the ploughing is level there's no way the front can be deeper than the back.

Why do you want to go deeper than 9 inches.




Only make small adjustments at a time and only one thing at a time then observe for awhile.
Check the pitch of each body. A steeper pitch means it will pull in deeper. This happening even on one body will pull that whole area of the plough in deeper.
The front body is harder to measure but can it can be done, it's got to be an accurate measurement though, with new points on.even half an inch can have a big affect
Trouble is with kv you cant adjust the pitch
Get the correct point to beam measurement from the ploughs manual.

Are all the 4 knuckles there that sit in the holes . If it’s auto reset .

 

[Bury the Trash]

Try new points on the last 2 . Gradually using progressivly worn ones further forward.
We used to do the opposite with early conventional ploughs and no draft sensing on the hydraulics.
Blimey those were different days.

Am I right in thinking you've wound it all the way in and it went in deep? If so then just adjust the depth wheel stops a little at a time until you get the required depth on the back. You might need to adjust your linkage to compensate as the front may go deeper as you do this. Seems to me its the depth wheel at fault

Unless something is broken in a big way?

Is it level or does it just appear to be level... Plough can surely not be perpendicular to the ground when moving if the front is in deeper than the back. Have you used a tape to check the height from the ground to the beam is the same at the front as it is at the back?

I have, it’s the same.

If something is broken in a big way the ploughing won't be level.

When you stopped to measure the distance from the beam to the ground, how did you stop? If you just put your foot on the clutch and let the plough stop you the plough will lift when you stop. You need to stop with the brakes to keep pressure on everything and keep the plough at its working depth. Having said that a second pair of eyes is usually more use than a tape measure.

Like he says @Longman ask a neighbour or someone to come round and help you out. It's a Different view from the ground .
And someone more experienced will help.
Trying to Explain stuff on a forum is not the best way to work out what needs doing.

Is the rear furrow of the plough running in line with the tractor land wheel ? If so this will be more compacted causing plough to ride out
