No-Till Coulters
• Start with the adjusting pin in the 2nd hole from the top of the adjustment strap. This should be suitable for
most conditions.
• If the coulters do not go to the desired depth, move the adjusting pin to the third hole in the strap for more
depth, or to the first hole for less depth.
• When No-Till drilling, the fluted coulter should be set approximately to the depth of the seed or slightly
deeper.
• The lower the frame height, the more down pressure will be on the No-Till coulters and openers.
Opener Down Pressure Springs
• Lower “W” Clip: The lower “W” clip sets the amount of down pressure on each opener. Start with it in the
bottom hole (least down pressure). If more down pressure is required to push the openers in the ground,
such as behind the tractor tires, move the lower “W” clip up one hole at a time.
• Remember you can only exert as much down pressure as there is weight on the drill, if increasing spring
down pressure does not help push the openers in the ground, additional ballast may have to be added, or
the grain tank may have to be kept full.
Opener T-Handles
The T-Handle on the opener sets the press/gauge wheel depth. This is what determines how deep the seed is
planted. Start with the T-Handle in the middle of its range. To increase planting depth, move the T-Handle
backward. To decrease planting depth, move the T-Handle forward.
