Well if you are not use to setting up a plow on fast hitch and don't have the book , here is some easy steps to fallow , First off how deep do you want to plow if it is a 14 inch plow 7-10 inches as they say depth is half the width if 16 inch bottom 8-12 ya i know someone will dispute this but we have pushed the 16 inch plow to a foot Get yourself two blocks that massure around 8 inche high put the left rear and the ft end up on the blocks while setting on a flat level ground , shop floor or drive with the plow hooked up to the tractor set the plow down and see how it lays down on the ground then make your adjustments to the leveling crank or move the bolts on the plow hitch . Next what kind of bottoms are on your plow PlowCheif or Super Cheif . The plow cheif is a three pice bottom that has a removableor replaceable plow point then the shear then the shin this is a vary expencive bottom to maintain. The super cheif is a two pice bottom with a long shear and a shin . Now the Super Cheif bottom you can get several differant shears for them to hepl penatrate hard rocky ground. Also you can change the pitch of the bottom on a I H plow to be more agressive if you look at the land side of the plow and you will see on the stem that the piviot bolt has a rectangel head and if the head is not wore to bad you will see and arrow pointing either up or down all bottoms should be the same if the arrow is pointing up then this is the normal posision and if ya want them to go in faster and dig deeper for harder dirt then loosen the bolts up that hold the bottom to the stem and turn the bolt with the arrow to point down. . Also always start off with new iron on the bottoms and pay close attenshion to ware of the shears shins and land sides. If ya let the shears ware down tofar then you start to ware the FROG out.
