will slide off the moldboard without sticking. The plow
will polish itself, especially in sandy soils. The paint

OPERATING
NOTE: Always lift the plow before turning. NOTE: When extreme or heavy plowing conditions are
encountered, it may be desirable to reduce plow cut
width rather than plow depth, in order to reduce
machine loading.
• If the plow is not plowing at a width of 28-30 cm
I (11-12 in.), loosen the U-bolts and move the beam along
the mast to the left to increase width and to the right to
decrease width.
8. Plow to F, lift the plow, turn and plow from G to H.
NOTE: After plowing a few rounds, stop to check all
connections on the plow, gage wheel, coulter blade
and frame. Tighten any loose connections.
9. Continue to plow the entire area in a clockwise direction,
lifting the plow at the end of each furrow before turning.
10.Plow the ends of the field, J to K and L to M.
11.Lubricate the coulter blade and gage wheel fittings at
least once daily with a standard type grease gun using a
recommended John Deere grease.

Troubleshooting
If Check
Uneven plowing depth If extreme variation in soil texture and/or moisture, adjust plow
depth.
If plow rides up in harder, dryer soil, reduce speed in those areas.
If plow will not stay down and runs shallow or if plow goes too deep,
adjust plow depth.
Soil does not turn over/falls back into furrow Increase plowing speed.
