Reel Disk from McFarlane Mfg. 28 800-627-8569
e. If the spiral reel blades need to be reset, turn the
stop crank accordingly; two full turns of the crank
equals 1 inch of depth adjustment.
1 Turn = 1/2”
Deeper
Note: Since the wheels position the height of the entire
frame of the unit, the depth setting of the other
components also needs to be checked and
possibly readjusted any time the disk depth is
changed.
13. Continue pulling the unit through the fi eld and raise
and lower the spiral reels to allow the hydraulic
control valve to stop the unit at the set depth. Stop
the tractor and check the depth of the disks and the
reel blades, making sure they are the desired depth.
Readjust the depth control device and the hitch frame
turnbuckle, if necessary. The disk blades should be
cutting slightly deeper than the reels.
WARNING
STOP
P
Before leaving the tractor, shut off the engine, set the
parking brakes, and remove the ignition key.
14. Level the wing frames. This prevents the disk
gangs from gouging and/or ridging. It also ensures
a consistent operating depth across the width of the
tillage area.
a. Rotate the turnbuckle either clockwise or
counterclockwise to level the wings from
side-to-side.
b. The gauge wheels may also need to be adjusted
once the wing frames are set.
15. Adjust the aggressiveness of the harrow sections.
There are three attachment points on the fi rst harrow
section to control the aggressiveness of the harrow.
a. In the least aggressive direction, mounting hole
#1, will cause the sections to lay more fl at (less
aggressive)
b. In position #2 the teeth are in approximately a 45°
position (more aggressive).
c. In position #3 the teeth are at the most aggressive
angle (more straight up).
Note: Typically, the angle should be set more aggressive
for increased soil leveling and less aggressive
in heavy residue conditions. In some situations
that do not require the extra leveling of the harrow
section, such as heavy fall residue, the sections
can be removed or raised above the ground level.
