Begin by aligning the plow with the tractor's hitch. Secure the hitch pins and ensure all connections are tight. Adjust the top link to level the plow, and check hydraulic connections if applicable.
Adjust the plow depth by altering the position of the lift arm or using the depth control lever, depending on your tractor model. Always refer to the tractor's manual for specific instructions.
Clean all soil and debris from the plow. Check for any loose bolts or signs of wear. Lubricate moving parts and inspect for any damage that might need repair.
Check tire pressure and ensure the plow is level. Inspect the moldboard and share for wear or damage. Adjust the plow settings to match soil conditions and check for correct hitch alignment.
Inspect the hydraulic system for leaks or low fluid levels. Check the lift arms and linkage for any obstructions or damage. Ensure the hydraulic controls are functioning correctly.
First, remove the bolts securing the moldboard to the plow frame. Position the new moldboard and secure it with bolts, ensuring they are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
Always wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and eye protection. Ensure all bystanders are clear of the area before operation. Follow all safety instructions outlined in the operator's manual.
Ensure the plow is properly adjusted for soil conditions. Maintain a consistent speed and overlap passes slightly to avoid ridges. Regularly inspect and maintain the plow to prevent downtime.
Check the plow's alignment and ensure it is set at the correct angle for the soil type. Inspect the plow blades for sharpness and replace if necessary. Verify the plow depth is appropriate for the soil conditions.
Clean the plow thoroughly to remove all dirt and debris. Apply a thin layer of oil to metal parts to prevent rust. Store the plow in a dry, covered area to protect it from the elements.
