Default Moldboard Set-up
Hey All,

Attempted to turn over my Garden last evening to get ready for planting and had a very frustrating time. I using a 1250 to pull a 10" brinly with a sleeve hitch. I don't remember having any issues last season but, last night I could not seem to get the plow to engage the ground correctly. I followed all the set-up instructions again (alignment to the wheel width, landside is 1" off the ground, etc.) but it doesn't seem to want to suck into the ground more than 2"-3". If I adjust the share tip down for more suck, the landside sticks out of the ground and the plow tracks left.

Does anyone have any advice?

Did you try bringing the tip up? You may have the tip set too low.

Sounds to me like you need a new share. Post a pic of your plow share.

Does a 1250 have a depth stop? The thing that you can adjust the height of your deck or any other attachment? Could you have that set to high?

How wet is the ground? It's still too wet to plow here. If the ground is soft, you may want to go a little faster; at least that's what I was told.

If it plowed just fine the last time you used it, unless something's been damaged or worn out I would say it's the ground conditions.

Why don't you come to PA plow day in PA and we can set it up for you. I assume your not using a coulter. But if you are take it off. How about the 2 bolts to stop
It from going L/R. Those bolts should not be tight against the plow. I leave it so the plow will rock 2 to 3 inches from side to side at the back. Pull the plow to the left side and it should be almost a straight line through the tractor. Which hole is the plow in middle L/R?
It's just trial and error but the time you dial it in the garden will be done.

Why would you do that? Do you not know what it's for? It has a purpose, and they plow much better with them on. You just have to know how to set one.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
