I bought the disc a couple years ago, but not a trip arm. Yeserady I ordered a trip arm as well, but I another question. What is the "spacer" that mounts on the trip arm and is it really needed? The spacer is about 1/2" by 1/2" and Messicks sells it for over $56 each!!!
Okay - this is what I think you're saying: Put a 6 inch block under both left side tires and level the front of the plow by shortening the lower right 3pt link. Correct?
What about the Center of Draft? His 4020 is very close to 32 inches - from the dead center of the tractor - to the inside...
Do I do these one at a time? In other words I use the 8" block and level the bottoms to the ground. Then remove the 8 inch block and raise the entire front axle 4" and level the plow front to rear?
My buddy has a John Deere 4020 tractor and just bought a John Deere F145H semi mounted 4-16" plow. He wants me to set it up for him, and I have questions.
I think the formula for setting it up is:
4 bottoms x 16 inch bottoms equals 64 inches of cut width
Center of cut is 32 inches
32 inches...
My 273 baler works great with one exception. Lately it occasionally makes a really short bale, and goes right back to making longer ones. Are there supposed to be "teeth" on the Trip Arm? It looks pretty smooth where it rides against the toothed disc. I am thinking I may need to replace the Trip...
