For best results follow these operating recommendations:
• Leaving standing stalks in the eld when harvesting (about
knee high) is preferable to shredding the residue
• Row units on the machine should be operated between last
year’s corn rows (split last year’s rows)
Coulter Blades
• 3”-4” Deep (make sure hub is not running in the ground)
• If blades are new or being used for the rst time in a season,
or if residue is hair pinning, sharpening each blade will assist
in cutting during the rst few acres of operation. After the rst
few acres, blades will self-sharpen
Residue Managers – Heavy pressure setting
Shank depth – Minimum 4” deep from ground level (optimum
depth for fertilizer placement is 6”-8”)
Sealer Blade Position – Rear holes on the sealer arm
Sealer Blade Pitch – Blades should be even in pitch and backs of
the blades should be at least 8” apart
Sealer Blade Down Pressure – Determined by soil type and season
in this residue
Basket Pressure – Determined by soil type and season in this residue
