(could be front as well, or only) Plow shares address the soil with a cutting edge. as it wears, the suction of the moldboard changes. Soil conditions (even across the distance between front and rear can also affect the depth and suction across the entire unit. Gauge wheels would be set to just graze the undisturbed earth. My rationale is that construction equipment and leveling devices often use depth gauge wheels to stabelize cut settings. Jim
