Why does my Buhler Ezee-On Tiller cultivator not pull straight?
The cultivator might not pull straight because one wing is cutting deeper than the other, or one side of the cultivator is working in harder ground. To fix this, level the wings. The cultivator will pull straight when the soil condition is the same across the full width of the cultivator.
What to do if front shanks are cutting deeper than rear shanks on Buhler Ezee-On 3550?
If the front shanks are cutting deeper than the rear shanks, it's likely that the front castor wheels are too high, causing the front of the cultivator to drop. To resolve this, raise the front of the cultivator by lengthening the castor wheel links.
What to do if rear shanks are cutting deeper than front shanks on Buhler Ezee-On Tiller?
If the rear shanks are cutting deeper than the front shanks, the front castor wheels may be too low, causing the front of the cultivator to lift. To fix this, lower the front of the cultivator by shortening the castor wheel links.
What to do if shanks on one side of center section cut deeper than the opposite side on Buhler Ezee-On 3550 Tiller?
Uneven cutting depth on the center section could be due to low tire pressure on one set of center section tires, or the center section rockshaft may have been twisted. Equalize the tire pressure on all center section tires. If that doesn't work, the center section rockshaft must be untwisted so wheels are at the same angle or the rockshaft must be replaced.
Why won't my Buhler Ezee-On 3550 Tiller wing cylinder raise wings?
The wing cylinder may not raise the wings if the tractor's hydraulic pressure is too low, or if a piston seal in one of the wing lift cylinders has been damaged. Increase the tractor's hydraulic pressure, consulting your tractor dealer if needed. Also, consider replacing the piston seal in the affected cylinder.
Why won't my Buhler Ezee-On 3550 Tiller rockshaft cylinder lift cultivator out of ground?
The rockshaft cylinder may fail to lift the cultivator if the tractor’s hydraulic pressure is too low, or if a piston seal has been damaged. You can increase the tractor’s hydraulic pressure, consulting your tractor dealer. Another solution is to replace the piston seals.
How to fix outer shanks on wing(s) that are cutting too deep on Buhler Ezee-On 3550 Tiller?
If the outer shanks on the wing(s) are cutting too deep, it's likely because all three wheels on the wing(s) are too high, causing the ends of the wing to drop. To correct this, raise the end of the wing(s) by shortening the wing quick leveller.
How to fix outer shanks on wing(s) that are not cutting deep enough on Buhler Ezee-On Tiller?
If the outer shanks on the wing(s) aren't cutting deep enough, it could be that all three wheels on the wing(s) are too low, lifting the ends of the wing(s) out of the ground. To solve this, raise the end of the wing(s) by lengthening the wing quick leveller.
What causes main and wing frames not to lower evenly into the ground on Buhler Ezee-On 3550?
If the main and wing frames do not lower evenly into the ground, the rockshafts and rockshaft linkage may be tight or seized. In this case, lubricate the rockshaft bearings, linkage, ball joints, and castor wheel pivot points.
Why do Buhler Ezee-On 3550 wings not flex down?
If the wings won't flex down, it's possible they are hanging up on the wing lift cylinders because they are not fully extended. Make sure to fully extend the wing lift cylinders.

This document is an operator's manual for the Buhler Ezee-On Model 3550 Cultivator and Model 5550 Chisel/Cultivator. It includes assembly, operation, and parts list instructions.
The Buhler Ezee-On Model 3550 Cultivator and Model 5550 Chisel/Cultivator are agricultural implements designed for soil cultivation. The manual outlines their use for preparing fields, with specific instructions for field operation, adjustments, and transportation. The cultivators feature a folding wing design for transport and a rockshaft system for depth control. The Model 3550 is a cultivator, while the Model 5550 is a chisel/cultivator, suggesting different primary tillage capabilities, with the chisel likely designed for deeper soil penetration.
The manual provides detailed specifications for various models, categorized by working width, number of shanks, main frame width, wing frame width, stub extension options, approximate transport width, approximate transport height (less harrows & packers), and wing lift cylinder size. Two shank spacings are covered: 8" (203mm) and 10" (254mm).
The manual includes a detailed table for stroke control segments (Grip-Rite, for Flat Head Cylinders ONLY), specifying various combinations of segment lengths (e.g., 2", 1-1/2", 1-1/4", 1", 3/4", 5/8") to achieve desired stop lengths ranging from 7-1/8" (181mm) down to 5/8" (15.7mm).
