WATCH FOR PEDESTRIAN
TRAFFIC- Rollers will always win
and pedestrians will lose the battle
with a LandRoller.
5.1. EASIFOLD ( NOT
POWERFOLD) FOLDING
FROM ROAD TO FIELD.
EasiFold is the standard Ag Shield configuration
where each inner wing wheel is rotated 25
degrees by a hydraulic cylinder, and the operator
must then
back up the whole unit to have the
wing move from behind the center section to the
field position. This is different from the Ag Shield
PowerFold option where the wheels are first
turned a full 90 degree by the hydraulic cylinder,
a drive spindle is lowered to contact the wheel,
and then sequence valve will keep the cylinder
pressure at the preset level, and
drive the wings
to field position while the LandRoller center
frame is stationary
. LandRoller wheel rotate
circuits
are shipped with the large ½” hoses
installed so that field installation of the PowerFold
option is a simple bolt on attachment at the inner
wheel location.
There are 2 hydraulic circuits on all 5 section Ag
Shield LandRollers:
A.
This first circuit hereafter on “Lever 1”
that rotates the wheel assembly so that a
backing up motion will move the
LandRoller wings to field position, This is
the same circuit that is the used for
PowerFold wheel option.
B. The second circuit ( Lever2) that raises
or lowers the center, inner, and outer
wheels for road transport, and is teed
together with the diagonal arm locking
function, the hydraulic hitch locking
cylinder,
Unfolding to field Procedure
1. Chose a reasonably level location with no
bystanders or small children in the vicinity.
2. Operate the whole unit in a forward direction
until the wings are trailing out behind the
center section at an equal and perpendicular
angle to the center section.

BEHIND
3. Operate Lever 2 to raise the rollers up ALL
the Way to top to allow transport locks to be
removed.
4. Set parking brake, place tractor transmission
in Neutral, leave the tractor cab tractor,
5. Make one rotation around the machine
doings all the road locks in sequence. Start
with floating hitch left side, move the height
lock from B to C, and then remove Pin A and
place in holder nearby.
