Tillage Linkage Arm Adjustment
The tillage tools on the KMC 6700 Series Rip Strip are mounted directly to a secondary 2-1/2 x 2-1/2
toolbar that hangs from the primary 7x7 toolbar by a set of Tillage Linkage Arms. The linkage arms
allow the tillage tools to act independently of the main ripper tools. Each Tillage Linkage Arm comes
equipped with a set of down pressure springs and multiple adjustment holes to set the preferred amount
of down pressure through the tillage tools. To adjust the down pressure on the tillage tools, raise the
main toolbar until all spring tension in the down pressure springs are released and the tillage linkage
arm is sitting against its stop. Remove the adjustment pin from the top linkage arm while supporting
the down pressure springs. Raise or lower the springs until the spring hooks are aligned with the de-
sired adjustment hole and reinsert the adjustment pin. Do this for each of the tillage linkage arms on the
unit. The figure above shows the adjustment holes in the top linkage arm and the corresponding direc-
tions for increasing or decreasing the down pressure forces. Some soft soil conditions may require the
down pressure springs to be completely removed. (Note: Care should be taken when working around
the Tillage Linkage Arms. If the main toolbar is not lifted completely off the ground, then spring pres-
sure could still be present in the linkage system and pinch points will be possible.)
