USEFUL HINTS

1. Cross working at 15 degrees off line gives better leveling and trash clearance. 2. Full ground disturbance starts at 63.5mm (2.5 inches). Adjustment should be made to compensate for disc wear and concavity. 3 To improve weed control and for better soil disturbance: • Adjust lateral disc positioning. • Ensure machine is traveling in line. • Increase depth to cut. • Replace discs.

EXTENSION DEFLECTOR ADJUSTMENT • Slotted holes provided to allow for disc extension adjustment for optimum furrow filling.

BLOCKING IN EXCESSIVE TRASH

• Lower rear discs gang to drive better in soil. • Adjust angle of lift soil deflector to allow greater flow.

• Try reducing speed slightly. CLOGGING IN WET SOILS 1. Raise working depth. 2. Raise front discs. 3. Give soil more time to dry out.
