TROUBLESHOOTING AND ADJUSTMENT GUIDE
Problem Solution
Unit not running to desired
depth.
Be sure unit is completely lowered to the ground.
Lower disk gang to no more than 3” below the depth of the
spiral reel using the hitch turnbuckle.
Increase disk gang angle to loosen more soil
Soil not fully worked to
desired depth.
Lower disk gang to no more than 3” below the depth of the
spiral reel using the hitch turnbuckle.
Increase disk gang angle to produce more loose soil.
Increase travel speed to 8 – 9 mph.
Unit bounces or leaves
surface uneven in loose
soil.
Decrease depth of the spiral reels by carrying some of the
weight on the wheels. Use the depth stops on the main frame
lift cylinders only. The disk gang can then be lowered using the
hitch turnbuckle to the desired depth of soil tilling.
Center frame section not
working to desired depth
Raise the wing frame using the turnbuckles on the wing wheels
to prevent the wings from working deeper than the center
section.
Outside disk gang gouges. Level the wing frame using the turnbuckles on the wing wheels
to raise the outside of the disk gang.
Disk gang ridges between
adjacent passes.
Level the wing frame using the turnbuckles on the wing wheels
to raise the outside of the disk gang.
Reduce travel speed.
Reduce gang angle.
Spiral reel plugs in wet soil
conditions.
Decrease depth of the spiral reels by carrying some of the
weight on the wheels. Use the depth stops on the main frame
lift cylinders only. The disk gang can then be lowered using the
hitch turnbuckle to the desired depth of soil tilling.
Excessive clogging in
harrow during operation.
Increase ground speed to 8 – 9 mph.
Pull harrow sections from the less aggressive end.
Move the section pull chain attachment point to the top hole on
the front of the harrow sections, making it less aggressive.
For dry and fluffy residue, the pull chain attachment point on
the section may need to be moved to the bottom hole. This will
allow for more residue flow under the harrow bars.
