Kelly: Those wheel tread settings are a bit flexable within 3 to 4 inches. Of course 12", 14" or 16" bottoms affect this a bit. While I said you could just change your hitch point to the right on a trailer plow even those must be close to settings when the plow becomes large enough you load the tractor to capacity. I have a book here somewhere that give a range for each of the various size plows. I haven't been able to find that book recently. I have a No. 60 plow manual that is rather vague. It talks about using 2, 3 and 4 bottom plows on 460 and 560 tractors where tractor is set at 72 to 84 inch wheel tread for 36 to 42 inch rows when cultivating. Here again the trailer plow is quite flezable if tractor is not fully loaded.

I will give you some examples I've used over the years. My 2x12 single point plow for 130, works well at 52" tread on tractor, 56" is so-so, 60" is impossible. 3x16 and 4x16 No. 60 trailer plows worked well on 300 and 560 respectively and both tractors set at 72" centers. 5x16 worked well at 84" wheel tread. The two factors you must consider here are size of the first furrow on right, and side draft on tractor which really only matters when tractor reaches its load capacity.
