Preparing Tractor and 3-Point Hitch
The surface of the plow bottom must be cleaned
so that dirt will slide off the moldboard without
sticking. Wipe the polished surface with a rag
soaked in turpentine, naptha or gasoline. An old
brick or pumice stone can also be used to remove
the protective coating, but usually this is not
necessary if soil is not too wet or sticky.
