Subject: Chisel plow not staying in the ground


Sunnyside, WA
I have a 35' Calkins chisel plow. Has 16" sweeps on 12" spacing. 4 sets of walking tandems. 3 shanks on each wing outside the wheels. The outside of the wing will go deeper while the center section comes out of the ground, especially in hard ground. I took on shank off each end, but did not seem to help. Planning on taking one more off each end. Have the sweeps in the ground ~4-5". If I keep the wing cylinders tight, I can somewhat keep it running level. Any ideas? This is a new-to-me chisel plow. I can't figure out if the center section is coming up or the wing is pulling down as the cause.
