7 Adjusting the plough
General
When using the plough for the first time, it is recommended that the
diverse rough adjustments be carried out in the yard. If these
adjustment recommendations are followed, it is generally only
necessary to make small correcting adjustments on the field. The
adjustments are made with the plough mounted on the tractor!
Top link
Connect upper connecting rod to plough
headstock in such a way that it is raised to some
extent in the direction of the plough.
In general:
When using a support wheel (double support
wheel, swing support wheel, transport swing
support wheel), the upper connecting rod should
be fitted in one of the long holes (slots) and
should lie in the front third of the long hole during
operation (see Figure).
When using a plough without a support wheel,
the top link is fitted in the hole (bore) in the
plough headstock.
Adjustment of the pulling point spindle
For mechanical or hydraulic pulling point adjustment or hydraulic
beam pivoting, the plough is normally set so that the mounting body
runs in the middle of the tractor track!
Double support wheel or pendulum transport support wheel
The support wheel is set as required depending on intended working
depth. To this end, the vertical distance between the lower edge of
the wheel and the share plane is measured and, if necessary,
corrected. The wheels are then adjusted vertically as explained
below.
Clearance for the turning procedure (clearance between the end of the plough / support wheel
and the ground)
The plough has to be fully raised and then rotated. It is necessary to
check here whether there is sufficient clearance between the
plough/support wheel and the ground. If this is not the case: connect
the upper connecting rod higher on the plough headstock or attach
frame in-swing mechanism (hydraulic in-
swing mechanism is normally
used in ploughs of a 5-furrow design and above).
