A Nice Addition for plow days

[connor9988]

I found one of these old contour/grade gauges in one of the machine sheds and decided to set it up with a couple magnets and clip it across my plow (side to side so I can read it from my seat). At the plow day all I had to do on each pass was look back and if the plow wasn't setting at 0 degrees level as I was going through the field I simply gave it a few turns on my leveling crank on the fly until the ball was back level and making a nice clean, level, right angle furrow wall-floor. This is very handy especially if the folks in front of you keep changing their depth of plowing which will change your tractor and plow angle as you go through the field.

Great idea! But ground needs to pretty level, not for hillsides.

Our township has an electronic one in the grader.

my thought as well, forgive me for being a little jealous of those with flat and square fields
