TINE CLAMPS

The 4000 Series Seedmatic is fitted with 65mm Saddle Clamps, these camps have
been designed to stop the tines from “walking” along the tool bars.

Some care needs to be taken when fitting these new clamps.

When fitting or adjusting, ensure that the M16 bolts are tightened evenly so both the
Saddle Clamp and the straight leg of the tine are parallel to each other.

The M16 bolts should be tightened to 200Nm (147ftlb) Maximum.
