Why is my Brillion Farm Equipment covering too much residue?
- B
  Brandon King DDSAug 13, 2025
  If your Brillion Farm Equipment is covering too much residue, several factors could be at play. The front gangs pitch might be set too aggressively, in which case you should move them rearward to a lesser pitch. Alternatively, the front gangs could be set too deep, requiring you to raise them. Similarly, check the rear gangs; if their pitch is too aggressive, move them forward to a lesser pitch, or if they are set too deep, raise them. If shanks disturb too much surface ground, install an optional steel point and wearstrip. Finally, traveling too fast can also cause this issue, so reduce your ground speed.

What to do if my Brillion Farm Equipment is not covering enough residue?

  Joseph FloresAug 17, 2025
  If your Brillion Farm Equipment isn't covering enough residue, the issue might stem from several factors. The front gangs pitch could be set too passive, necessitating a move forward to a greater pitch setting. Also, the front gangs might be set too shallow, requiring you to lower them. Similarly, examine the rear gangs; if their pitch is too passive, move them rearward to a greater pitch setting, or if they are set too shallow, lower them. Lastly, if shanks could disturb more surface ground, install an optional coverboard on all shanks.

How to increase shank depth on Brillion Farm Equipment?
- G
  garnerelizabethAug 21, 2025
  If the shanks on your Brillion Farm Equipment aren't penetrating deep enough, it could be due to a few reasons. Cylinder stop segments might be limiting the depth, so try removing them. Alternatively, the gangs might be limiting the depth, in which case you should raise them up. Also, ensure the implement is level by adjusting it with the drawbar turnbuckle.

Why is my Brillion Farm Equipment leaving a ridge behind center of the unit?
- N
  nunezchadAug 25, 2025
  If your Brillion Farm Equipment is leaving a ridge behind the center of the unit, consider these potential causes. The front gangs might not be throwing enough soil out, so try increasing their working depth and/or pitch. Conversely, the rear gangs might be throwing too much soil in, so decrease their working depth and/or pitch. Also, check if a coverboard is installed on the center shank; if not, install one to address ground not pulled out by the front discs.

What causes a depression behind the center of Brillion Farm Equipment?
- K
  Kathryn HarrisAug 28, 2025
  If your Brillion Farm Equipment is leaving a depression behind the center of the unit, several factors could be responsible. The front gangs might be throwing too much soil out, so decrease their working depth and/or pitch. Conversely, the rear gangs might not be throwing enough soil in, so increase their working depth and/or pitch. Additionally, check the coverboard on the center shank; if it's at an improper working height, reposition it.

Why my Brillion Farm Equipment does not raise or lower properly?
- A
  aguilarkristenSep 1, 2025
  If your Brillion Farm Equipment doesn't raise or lower properly, start by checking the hoses to ensure they are connected correctly, referring to the hydraulic schematics in the assembly section. Cylinder leakage, either external or internal, can also cause this issue, requiring you to repair or replace the cylinder. Finally, hydraulic hose ends not working properly can also be the cause, so replace the hydraulic hose.

How to prevent plugging around the shanks on Brillion Farm Equipment?
- M
  Mary AndersonSep 4, 2025
  If you're experiencing plugging around the shanks with your Brillion Farm Equipment, it could be due to an incorrect shank location. Refer to the Machine Configuration Section for correct shank placement for your specific model. Plugging at the wheel can also occur, so refer to the Machine Configuration Section to check shank location. Too much trash can also cause plugging; if possible, operate at an angle to the rows.

What to do if Brillion Farm Equipment is plugging in the gangs?
- J
  James BriggsSep 9, 2025
  If your Brillion Farm Equipment is experiencing plugging in the gangs, the gangs might be set too deep. Try raising them a small amount and allowing the soil to dry if possible.
