OPERATION

Spring Cushioned Disc Gangs

The disc gangs should not operate deeper than 3" to

4" and no deeper than necessary for desired residue

cutting. In high residue conditions the discs should

only cut the residue.
In coulter chiseled ground the discs should be

adjusted to run just above the bottom of the furrows

between the ridges.
Cutting depth is adjusted hydraulically. Excessive

disc gang down pressure could affect frame level

and adversely affect machine performance.
If the disc gangs are not required for a tillage

operation, they may be raised out of the working

position.
The blades are spaced at 10" with an 8 cutting

angle. Feathering blades are mounted at the end of

each gang.
