14 inches refers to the distance, center to center, between the shanks. If you would draw perpindicular lines from the front of the plow to the rear at the center of the shanks, the lines would be 14 '' from each other. Also, the manufacturer lines up the hitch so that when the tractor furrow wheel in in the furrow, the first furrow would be 14 inches. Most plows had different holes in the hitch so that this could be adjusted. This was absolutely necessary when they still built plows in the horse days. The Amish use dollies to convert tractor plows to horse plows and I bet they have to adjust the hitch to make it all work.
