    If your 1st furrow is ploughing more than 2nd, 3rd and 4th how do you remedy that on a standard plough. No fair widths etc. Top link is straight.

    The first furrow is probably too wide , there's usually a handle on the lower links cross shaft that adjusts the first furrow.
    you can also loosen the cross shaft and move it left and right on some ploughs

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    No sorry. I presume angling the plough more so to the ploughing side of the tractor using the stabilizers is not the right answer? Top link would also then obviously not be straight.

    What size tyres are these old plough supposed to be used with. I presume 16.9s should be fine?

    If, as the other posters suggest, you can’t get enough adjustment from the cross-shaft of the plough, then unfortunately you’ll have to adjust the track width of the tractor.
    Is it a conventional or reversible plough?
    If it’s reversible, the track width will have to be adjusted on both sides of the tractor.
