ROLLING BASKET DOWN
PRESSURE
An optional rolling basket assembly is available to complement the 1tRIPr® row unit.
Rolling baskets reduce clod size to decrease soil variability, retain existing soil moisture,
firm, and complete the optimum seedbed. Rolling baskets are mounted to the rear of the
row unit tail section. For mounting instructions see page 4-1.
AVOID CRUSHING. Make sure all personnel are clear of the implement. Lower implement
to the ground, place tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key.
USE BAR STANDS TO SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENT. Park implement on a clean, dry,
and level surface. An uneven surface could cause implement to shift or fall, resulting in
injury or death, as well as implement damage. Securely support all implement components
that must be raised. Remove buildup of grease, oil, or debris prior to adjusting rolling basket
down pressure.
