- IDEAL PLAN FOR PLOWING:
plowed, and if possible, make it rectangular in shape.
NOTE: It is easier to plow a few long furrows than many
short ones. Leave some room at each end of the eld for
turning your tractor.
- BEFORE TURNING: Must ALWAYS lift the plow.
- SPEED: Do not plow too fast!
Move steadily along so that the earth will turn over and
not fall back into the furrow. In most soils, this is done at
FULL THROTTLE in 3rd Gear. NOTE: If plowing speed
changes, it may be necessary to re-adjust the depth crank
to maintain desired plowing depth.
- LIGHT SOIL: In light soils, plowing may often be done in a
higher gear, but if you travel too fast, the furrows will be un-
even and the dirt is apt to be thrown rather than rolled over.
