Gibby . . . most pull plows have many adjustment holes in the components that make up the hitch of the plow. These holes allow you set the "center of draft" with your tractor. Being able to adjust the plow allows the tractor hitch to be in the straight position. It allows you to compensate for different left and right wheel spacings from the centerline of the tractor. Moving the rear wheels differently and adjusting the hitch allows the first moldboard to take no less or no more of the proper bite that it should. Basically by adjusting the plow right you won't have to fight the tractor so much if any to keep it going straight. Having the tractor fight the plow takes away power, let alone the additional fight the operator has. I have some old books with sections on adjusting plow hitches using the centerline of draft. When tractor plowing was in its hayday, adjusting plows was a big topic with ag engineers at Agricultural Universities. If you want more info. write back again and maybe we could get together somehow so I could send you copies.
