Start with a back furrow, go a measured 70ft in from one side (measure both ends and put a white flag on a branch or post). Adjust the plow so it turns a pretty good set of furrows with both wheels on the level. Proceed from about 20 ft from one end to no closer than 20 ft from the other, in a straight line keeping the flag in sight. Turn around to the right and plow the opposite direction, with the right wheel just edging onto the turned earth from the other set of furrows. When you get to the starting end, turn into the furrow, the right wheel will be in the furrow. Stop and adjust the plow to level with the wheel in the furrow. Experiment to get it so each bottom is making equal depth cuts. (may require some digging to make sure. Continue around and around this "land" (what it is called) till you get as close to the fence as comfortable. Measure from the last furrow to the next 70 foot back furrow. and repeat the process. When you finish this "land" you will have a "dead furrow" where two furrows are in the same place. No issue, it will be disked somewhat smooth. Repeat until you get to the far side of the field. Make the last "land" 1/2 the distance to the side fence so that it will finish off the field. Then do the headlands. Plow with the earth turning toward the field. Drive back to the other end of the same headland to keep the single furrow on the outside toward the fence. Jim
