4.8 On the Field
Set tractor hydraulics to ‘Draft Control’ or
'Mixed Control'.
Set in the plough and adjust the length of
the top link, vertical pitch, front furrow
width, working depth and depth control
wheel / depth and transport wheel as re-
quired.
Attention: The plough wheel is a control wheel, not a carrying wheel. Thus the
tractor hydraulics must be adjusted so that the top link is always under
tension, especially with ploughs of 5 or more furrows. Due to that the
weight will be transferred to the tractor resulting in less slippage and
reduced fuel consumption.
Adjust the tractor plough line by means of the inner turnbuckle (1). This will elimi-
nate side draft and optimise the pull point which again will reduce slippage and
fuel consumption.
