Grooming
If your arena is relatively level and you are just performing
daily maintenance, you can set up your tool for daily groom-
ing. To do so, identify the depth you would like components
in the ground and set them accordingly. One way this can
be done is by setting the wheels of the tool on blocks. This
way you can lower the components to your desired depth.
The wheels will maintain the depth of the tool, and can be
used to gauge the depth you will go in the arena. Keep in
mind that your tires will sink about ½” into the material. It is
always best to test the depth in the arena by pulling forward
10-15 feet and then pulling the footing away to get a visual
on the actual penetration. Once you have leveled
(vertically) the upright towers for the leveling bar, you are
able to lower the tool and drag for daily maintenance.
Maintenance
Wheels and Hubs
- The bearings in the hubs on the TR3-E Trevor Brazile Edition should be greased every 3 months.
They should also be greased before any long period of storage.
Toplinks
- Be sure to keep the threaded bolts on your toplinks greased so they don’t seize over time.
Finish Rake
- Occasionally over the life your tool, you may have a bent finger on the finish rake. If this occurs, you can
place a pipe over the bent finger and use the pipe to straighten the finger back out.
Grooming Rods
- If you discover one of the grooming rods appears to be bent, you can use a vice and hammer to
bend it back straight.
Finish
- If you start to see scratches on the tool, you can use a rust stopping primer and paint to refinish the damaged
area.
All of your ground engaging components are considered wear parts and will need to be replaced as they wear out from
use. You can refer to the scarifier tip guide on the following page to gauge wear on your scarifying components. To
reorder, please contact the ABI Support department at 855.211.0598.
