PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Disc harrow makes a high center ridge. Excessive speed. Reduce speed.
Rear gangs cut too deep. Reduce gang angle.
Top link too long. Shorten top link.
Disc harrow cuts a furrow (valley) in the
center.
Insufficient speed. Increase speed.
Rear gangs too shallow. Increase gang angle.
Top link too short. Lengthen top link.
Disc harrow makes ridges on the outside cuts
and furrows just inside the ridges.
Too much soil is being thrown out by the front
disc gangs.
Raise front disc gangs by lengthening the
3-point top link.
Reduce front disc gang angle.
Disc harrow makes a furrow on the outside
cuts and a ridge just inside the furrow.
Rear disc gangs are set too wide. Reduce spacing between rear disc gangs.
Raise front disc gangs by lengthening the
3-point top link.
Disc harrow does not pull straight and/or shifts
from side-to-side.
Front disc gangs running deeper than the rear
gangs.
Raise front disc gangs by lengthening the
3-point top link.
Disc gangs are not centered on the frame. Center the disc gangs on the frame.
Disc harrow leaves a depression in the
worked soil behind the tractor wheels.
Tire slippage, heavy tractor, soft soil
conditions.
Add duals, increase tractor speed, increase
gang angle, and/or increase cutting depth.
Tilt disc harrow down at the rear by
lengthening the 3-point top link.
Disc harrow doesn’t operate smoothly. Disc gang angles are too aggressive. Use the smallest disc gang angle that will do
the job. Make sure rear disc gang angle is
less than the front disc gang angle.
Disc harrow doesn’t penetrate the soil
properly.
Disc gang angles aren’t aggressive enough. Increase disc gang angles. Make sure the
front disc gang angle is more than the rear
disc gang angle.
Outside front disc blades and/or gang axle is
bending or breaking.
Making sharp turns and crossing ditches with
the disc harrow in the ground.
Raise disc harrow out of the ground when
making turns and crossing ditches. Cross
ditches at an angle. Do not cross deep
ditches.
Gang axles becoming loose. Keep disc gang axle nuts tight.
Rear tractor wheel slippage. Not enough ballast. Add weights to tractor.
Plugging. Extremely wet soil.
Gangs set at too great an angle.
Allow soil to dry.
Reduce angle.
