(MOLE SHANK OR MOLE KNIFE)
The mole shank assembly or mole knife assembly shatters the root zone compacted layer
while placing fertilizer at two precision depths, if desired. Once compacted layer depth
and thickness is researched and established, tillage shank assembly depth is adjusted
accordingly.
The illustration to the left is an example. Varying compacted layer depth and thickness
either within or between fields, will warrant tillage shank depth adjustment. The tillage
shank point should operate in close proximity to the lowest point of the compacted
layer. Operating the tillage shank point below the compacted layer will heave and lift the
compacted layer. It is recommended to operate the tillage shank point near, but not past
the lowest point of the compacted layer for optimum performance.
NOTE: It is important to make sure that the toolbar height and orientation as well as the
parallel linkages generally operate as illustrated above prior to adjusting tillage shank
depth.
