8. IN-FIELD ADJUSTMENTS
Be careful when working with disc blades as the edges are sharp. Wear gloves when
working around disc blades.
Damage to the harrow can occur if it is not lifted out of the ground before making sharp
turns.
Make sure tractor drawbar is pinned in the center position and tractor 3-point arms are
positioned so that they will not make contact with the disc harrow hitch.
The disc harrow tires can be raised off the ground to add weight to the disc gangs. However,
DO NOT add any additional weight to the disc harrow in an attempt to make the disc blades
sink into the ground deeper, instead make additional passes over the worked area.
Each adjustment affects another, therefore make only one adjustment at a time and then
test that adjustment before continuing. Make each trial run with tractor in the same gear and
at the same speed. Varying tractor speed while making adjustments will only make adjusting
the disc harrow harder.
