How to adjust lifting arms

kevin	Hi guys, i have an old YM1700 that i have been using with a slasher to keep the place tidy,now i have brought a small plough,looks more like a ripper with duck feet and should do a job of ridging to plant potatoes ect.My problem is that i cannot figure out how to adjust things so that the business end goes under the ground instead of ridding on the top as the slasher is set to do.I know it sounds daft but i have spent some time tinkering about and its got me beat,thanks guys i would appreciate your help. Kev.
tim	You will need to pull the pin out from top of the center link , and the link should thread in, if it doesn't then may need to use pntrng oil, to free it up,
Al	Usually you adjust the plough, generally by choosing the right attachment points.
kevin	Ive tried all the above and plough still just runs along surface,if the centre pin is the normal adjustment point im thinking the turnbuckle there may not be the original,its at its furthest point of adjustment allready.I'll try and get somthing longer.Thanks for your thoughts guys, i'm sure it is somthing simple i am missing. Kev.
Al	Some require down-pressure in the hitch, which yannies don't have; other have handles for someone to guide it.
norm	Adjust the toplink for best ground penetration, then you may have to add weights to the plow.
kevin	Thanks guys between you i think you have solved my problem.Wont know for a couple of weeks when i next go to the farm but it all sounds like a go.I have got plans to plant up some of those little kipfer potatoes,they taste damn good and fetch a good price at the market too.Thanks again Kev.
