TROUBLESHOOTING
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 row unit
tooling.
PROBLEM:
Row unit plugs with field residue between the trash opener assembly and tillage shank.
SOLUTION OPTIONS:
1. Slightly lower trash opener assembly to reduce the amount of field residue in front of
the tillage shank. (pg. 5 - 4)
2. Proper toolbar height and orientation setting should ensure maximum depth band
coulter cutting depth. Make sure the coulter is penetrating soil in order that the depth
band governs soil penetration. (pg. 5 - 1)
3. Alter ground speed to change rate at which field residue passes through row unit tool-
ing. Slower ground speeds generally reduce plugging by allowing residue to smoothly
pass through row unit tooling.
4. Wet or damp field conditions can adversely effect the performance of the 1tRIPr® row
unit. Typically, wet or damp field conditions do not allow residue to pass through the
row unit as effectively as drier conditions.
6. Adjust trash opener width (pg. 5-5).
7. Adjust trash opener distance
fore and aft
(pg. 5-5).
