TOOLBAR HEIGHT AND
ORIENTATION
PLACE TRACTOR IN PARK AND REMOVE KEY BEFORE DISMOUNTING TRACTOR
TO ADJUST IMPLEMENT.
NEVER ALLOW RIDERS ON TRACTOR OR IMPLEMENT. Riders hinder operator visibility
and can be thrown from the implement and/or be struck by foreign objects resulting in injury
or death.
After desired toolbar height and orientation is established, set tractor lower hitch stop, lift
assist wheels, and/or toolbar gauge wheels, if equipped.
NOTE: Larger implements may require lift assist wheels and/or toolbar gauge wheels to
support toolbar weight. Lift assist wheels and/or toolbar gauge wheels displace a portion
of toolbar weight to allow maximum parallel linkage travel.
NOTE: Smaller implements may operate without lift assist wheels and/or toolbar gauge
wheels. The tractor hitch will bear a portion of the toolbar weight by setting a lower hitch
stop on the tractor three point hitch control.
ROW UNIT DEPTH
Effectively, the depth band coulter assembly provides consistent row unit tooling depth
by governing soil penetration. Adjustable down pressure springs supply row unit down
pressure to assist with row unit soil penetration. Parallel linkages, with the ability to travel
vertically, allow row units to operate independent of the toolbar. The depth band, down
pressure springs, and parallel linkages should allow the toolbar serve as
a towing device allowing uniform tillage despite terrain variations.
For the toolbar to serve as a towing device, the ground surface, lower linkage, bottom of
toolbar, top of toolbar, and upper linkage must generally operate parallel to one another
when in the field position. The depth band coulter assembly should allow the toolbar to
operate at the desired height and provide consistent row unit tooling depth by governing
soil penetration. It is important to arrive at the setting illustrated above so further tooling
adjustments will be uniform.
