I can move that back brace down to the pivot there if this is what you are talking about, Daniel.
2 bottom plow build
- Thread starter KennyP
- Start date
Kenny, I had to go look at my plow as my memory is crap. I did the front brace exactly as you did, but the 2nd brace began at the pivot of the first plow where your rear of first brace is, then it went back to a hold I drilled in the 2nd plow beam as I marked on your photo in red. I only drilled through one of the beam halves where the green line is, slipped in a nut, then bolted the brace on.
Thanks, Daniel! I can move my rear brace down to both pivot points fairly easily. Just have to shorten it some. I'm just glad for the initial results!
I got the customers mower fixed early this morning so I brought the plow back in. I had installed the rear most brace in the top holes thinking it wouldn't collect trash. But that turns out to limit my individual adjustments to the plow (thanks to olcowhand to set me straight).So I took things apart and moved it down to the pivot points. Thought I would have to adjust the length, but it went right on (better than where it was). I went ahead and installed a depth wheel and moved the coulter over while I was at it.

Now, my next question is do you set this up as you would a single bottom? Or is there something else I need to know? That's my next step! Once I have it set, I measure all the links (RH, LH & Center) and write that down for future use.

Nice solution! That should let you adjust them separately.
Great build Kenny!
Very nice work Buddy.

Comes with the "optional" tractor attachment included too??
A little extra I built this morning. Had some 2X4's laying about and made some holders for the front of the 3-point plows. This way, they are not so susceptible to be knocked over, especially at shows.
I had four two foot long 2X4's. took two of those and bored a 3/4" hole through the center. Split them in half centered on the holes. Cut two uprights at 10.5" down from the hole radius, the other two at 7.5" down. Screwed them to a two foot board with 19.5" spacing. Have to lift them some to get this under there, but makes them very stable.

Me too! I can go a few inches, but that's it! Where did the muscles go?
They left and pain took their place.
You got that right!
Looks impressive, Kenny! When are you gonna make it back up this way to try it out?
I don't know when I may get back up there. It's a long trip from here.
I think it's time for a Go-Fund-Me page, "Send KennyP to Kentucky before he forgets how to get there!" I'd contribute!
done a great job on the mod build
