24.0 - RIDGING INTENSITY
To increase the ridging intensity of the ground near the plant, proceed as follows:
24.1 - Lengthen the adjustable arm of the tractor’s third point (fig. 21.C)
24.2 - Tighten the adjustment device (fig. 21.A) to give more pressure to the spring
(fig. 21.B)
24.3 - To reduce the ridging intensity, carry out the above operations in reverse order.
25.0 - TRACTOR GAUGE
The imprint left on the ground by the wheels of the tractor, as well as having a
compacting effect, also usually lowers the surface of the ground. Keep a
transplanting distance of not less than 10-12 cm from the imprint (fig. 22) by
adjusting the inter-row spacing or the gauge of the tractor.
