Dad had 400 lbs of weight on the land wheel (left one) to plow with 3-16 on his Ollie 88 - similar setup to what you have. Then he put the rock box on that side of the tractor and added more weight.......
What shape are the tire treads on your tractor? Worn down to slicks, or good tread?
Sounds like the ground is a little wet to plow.
How deep are you putting the plow? Should be plowing 1/2 the depth of a plow bottom - your 14 inch plow bottoms should be going about 7 inches deep.
Which wheel is spinning on you? Typically the one on land (left) if it is wet or you don't have enough weight on the tractor. You could have the plow real off-center & only pulling with one tire, but that is not normal for a 3-bottom plow.
Hyd: Um, belly pump is only a one-way isn't it, you said you were runinng a 2-way cyl????
Maybe explain the hyds a little better, I'm not clear on what the problem is.
