Set the longitudinal iron of the Iron Cow
The first point when working with the plow is to adjust it horizontally in the direction of the tractor's direction; This work is also called the longitudinal adjustment of the plow. In this case, you must make sure that all points in the chassis of this device are completely parallel to the ground and the path of the tractor and have an equal distance; You can use an arm on the device or a three-point linkage system to adjust the distance. In this way, the depth of the plow is the same in all parts and the machine will not be damaged when the slope of the land changes.
Set the Plane Cowbox
Another tip when working with the plow is to adjust it horizontally; This means that the vertical distance of all points on the chassis is the same as the path of the tractor. For this, you need to get a horizontal tie rod holder from the tractor parts store and use it to adjust the distance. In this way, when you want to create a second plow furrow, the horizontal settings of the plow will not be messed up.
Set the Balance of Cow at the time of connecting to the tractor
After you have adjusted the length and width of the plow and connected it to the tractor, you need to adjust its balance. This will prevent unwanted movements to the left and right and can restrain them; In this way, the possibility of damage to tractor tires will be less. Pay attention that in this case, the plow chain should not be too loose, nor should it be closed too tightly; Because the free chain causes the tire of the tractor to tear, and the limited chain can damage the hydraulic system of the tractor.
setting depth of plow
Another point that you should know when working with a plow is that the depth of the plow depends entirely on how the plow is adjusted horizontally and vertically; So you have to do those steps very carefully. In addition, you should make sure that the plow is sharp enough and its ribs are at the right angle so that they can penetrate the soil well.
Prepare the equipment needed to work with the plow
Another point to keep in mind when working with a plow is to prepare the tools needed to do this work. For example, you should use a variety of wrenches to adjust the pin and tighten it. It is also necessary to use the arm to adjust the distance. On the other hand, the cleaning cloth will be necessary to clean the oil or other contamination from the pins and the connection area. In addition to these things, it is very necessary to use a variety of safety equipment such as suitable work clothes, first aid kit and personal safety equipment.
Careful Cow Settings
To make sure that the plow is correctly connected to the tractor, you must carefully check all the settings mentioned in the previous sections and, if necessary, correct possible defects. For example, you should measure the distance of the tip of the first spike to the ground and make sure that it is the same as the distance of the tip of the last spike to the ground. In this case, the longitudinal alignment is done well. You should also check the distance between the flat edges of the blade or sockets and make sure they are level with the ground. If the horizontal adjustment is not done correctly, you should adjust this height by changing the length of the arm.
