The quadrant is used to set the depth your plow (and other tillage type devices) stays in the ground. The unfortunate thing is that with this setup there really isn't a way to stabilize a device in one position off the ground. So without a Thang, you have to keep your eye on the implement, and constantly adjust the lever to maintain the height of the implement. This is impractical, and frankly dangerous. The Solutions are limiter chains or position control. The problem with chains is that they are just one more thing to hook up, and when using them for your brush hog for example, they don't allow you to vary the implement height constantly for the job. A thang does. When I got my 2N, I had no idea of this limitation, and I was close ot getting rid of it, even thugh I had bought limiter chains. Snow Plowing, using my 3-point scoop, etc. was just impractical without a thang. But I took a chance on this southern gentleman with this newfangled idea, and I was quite astonished that such a simple looking device could solve my problem. Everytime I use it I thing "Duh....why didn't I think of that". About the best 80 bucks I ever spent. I hope this explains things better. Take Care Steve
