    Why does my Bigham Farm Equipment cultivator have side draft?
    • J
      Justin JohnsonAug 17, 2025
      Side draft on your Bigham Farm Equipment cultivator can occur for several reasons. First, the row units may not be in the center of the furrow; in this case, check row spacing at the sweep point and adjust units on the bar as needed. Second, the toolbar might not be level; correct this by adjusting the three-point lift arm linkages. Finally, unequal rear gang penetration can cause side draft; reduce implement height on the three-point lift to address this.

    What to do if row gangs are wearing rapidly on my Bigham Lilliston Rolling Cultivator Generation 3 Farm Equipment?

      Rapid or uneven wear on row gangs in your Bigham Farm Equipment can be due to a couple of factors. It may be that the cultivator toolbar is not positioned properly; adjust the top link until the front and rear spider gangs evenly engage the ground. Also, the row gangs may be running too deep; increase the set height of the three-point lift to resolve this issue.

    How to fix insufficient penetration of rear gangs on Bigham Farm Equipment?

      Tammy ReyesAug 22, 2025
      If you're experiencing insufficient penetration of the rear gangs while cultivating or mulching beds with your Bigham Farm Equipment, consider these possible causes and solutions: * The gangs might be angled in the wrong direction. Reverse the angle, ensuring gang number 1 cuts and moves soil to the left and gang number 2 cuts and moves soil to the right. * There might not be enough angle. Increase the angle of the gangs by tilting the gang an additional 10 degrees on the tilt adjustment plate. * The toolbar angle could be incorrect. Lengthen the top link linkage to roll the toolbar backward until the front and rear spider gangs engage the soil evenly. * There may not be enough pressure on the gangs. Decrease the implement height on the three-point lift.

      If the rear gangs of your Bigham Farm Equipment penetrate excessively during cultivation or mulching, it may be due to an incorrect toolbar angle. Try shortening the top link linkage to roll the toolbar forward until the front and rear spider gangs engage the soil evenly.

      If you're experiencing insufficient dirt movement towards the row crop with your Bigham Farm Equipment, it's likely that there isn't enough angle on the spider gangs. Increase the spider gang angle until a sufficient amount of dirt is moving towards the row crop.

      Uneven wear on row gangs in your Bigham Farm Equipment can be caused by soil compaction behind the tractor. To address this, rotate the rear gangs that operate behind the tractor tires.

    • J
      James BarnettSep 2, 2025
      If you are covering small crops when cultivating with your Bigham Farm Equipment, it's likely due to too much angle on the spider gangs. Decrease the spider gang angle unit until the crop is bigger.

    What to do if gangs are clogging on Bigham Farm Equipment?
    • S
      Stephen WilliamsSep 5, 2025
      If gangs are clogging between the fork and spider of your Bigham Farm Equipment, it's likely due to soil containing rocks, hard clods, or crop residue. Adding a scraper between the fork and spider should resolve this issue.

    What causes toolbar bending on Bigham Farm Equipment?
    • P
      pittssusanSep 12, 2025
      Toolbar bending on your Bigham Farm Equipment can result from loading beyond the design limit with deep tillage tools like bed rippers or irrigation shovels. To prevent this, attach cable pull ears from each end of the toolbar to the front of the tractor.
