Titan Implement, LLC 23 7000 Series Disc Harrows
(423) 334-0012 January 2022
Do not attempt to work wet or sticky soil. All areas
should be well drained and capable of being walked
on without having the soil stick to your shoes. Always
cross steep ditches and banks on the diagonal, never
straight across. Damage to the disc and/or tractor may
occur while crossing straight across.
Discing action will begin as soon as the disc touches
the ground and the tractor begins to move forward.
Forward travel speed will be determined by soil
conditions and available tractor horsepower.
Never try to disc in reverse. The disc harrow is
designed for working while traveling forward only.
Damage to the unit may occur if it is operated while
backing up. The recommended procedure for working
corners or other tight places is to lift the unit, back
into the corner or other tight area, lower the unit, and
proceed forward.
When you reach the end of a pass, pick the unit up
before turning. Trying to turn with the disc in the
ground will cause side loads on the disc and may
cause damage.
Making disc gang adjustments is relatively easy by
raising the disc off of the ground, placing safety blocks
under the frame, making the required adjustment,
removing the safety blocks and resuming operation.
Refer to “5.4.2 Setting the Disc Angle” on page 21
for detailed instructions.
Ground conditions and the nish required will
determine the angles of the front and rear disc gangs.
The more aggressive the angle of the gangs, the more
aggressive the cutting action in the soil prole will be,
and the more horsepower will be required to pull the
unit.
Achieving the desired results may require some
experimentation. The best ground nish will usually
be achieved when the rear gang is set at a slightly
less aggressive angle than the front gang. If the soil is
building up on or sticking to the discs, the soil is too wet
and operations should be discontinued until the ground
is drier and more workable.
5.8 Detaching From Tractor
1. Move the disc harrow to a level storage location
and lower it to the ground or onto blocks. Park the
tractor, place the transmission in park or neutral,
and apply the parking brake. Shut down the engine,
and remove the key before exiting the tractor.
2. Make sure the disc harrow is resting securely on the
ground or blocks before attempting to disconnect it
from the tractor.
Crush Hazard
Keep feet and hands from under the disc
harrow and clear of any pinch points caused
by the tractor hitch arms and disc harrow
hitch pins. Never operate the hydraulic 3-point lift
controls while someone is directly behind the
tractor.
3. Extend the tractor 3-point hitch top link to remove
tension on the top link hitch pin. When the pin is
loose and easy to rotate, remove the pin from the
disc harrow. Disconnect the lift arms.
