I have this toolbar mounted middle buster, (I hope the photos attached), and seems to me like the top 3 point link is not long enough. By lengthening out as far as possible, I can get it to dig about 8-10 inches deep. Should the plow set flat on the ground when setting on the surface? How is the best method of either lengthening the top link or modifying the toolbar? How should the plow be adjusted relative to the ground surface?

Unbolt the clamps for the plow or the bar itself, rotate it 90 degrees toward the tractor and shorten the top link?

Aaron, I tried that, can't shorten the top length anywhere enough.
surely one of you guys has had this problem.

Try mounting the curly bar on top of the toolbar.---I never saw one with this set-up, so just tossing out ideas here!---could remake the pull tabs also re locate the top link brackets!---your geometry is WAY off on this set-up as now shown!----shovel should set a lot flatter to the ground! thanks; sonny580
