Plow measure Question

[John-MI]

Have a Ford 3pt plow. How is the correct way to measure the bottom to see the size. I know how to measure 2 bottom plows . This plow looks like a bigger moldboard than normal. Thanks for the help.

P.S The plow is. a 1 bottom.

(quoted from post at 12:46:01 04/25/23) P.S The plow is. a 1 bottom.

Lay two parallel strips of wood under the plow aligned with the forward motion of the plow, one touching the point of the plowshare and the other touching the trailing edge of the plowshare and measure the distance between them.

I would just measure from the landslide to the back corner of the point it would be about the same as what is pictured and much easier. From the landslide to the corner of the back point would be like 12,14,16 inches depending on the distance a long point would be more accurate for this than a short would be. And yes they used to have longs and shorts. We bought longs for sod and shorts for corn stubble.
