1. Unfold the MaxiDisc and
continue to hold the wing
fold/unfold cylinder lever in
the same position until the
pressure reading of the
fold/unfold cylinder (red out-
let) displayed on the ma-
nometer is approx. 50 bar.
2 Set the cylinders in the floating position. The floating position is nec-
essary to achieve hydraulic weight transfer, in which the sections are
free to move individually.
3 It may be necessary to readjust the pressure of the hydraulic weight
transfer. It might also be necessary to operate the machinery at a higher
or lower pressure, depending on soil conditions.
Too much pressure
1 The pressure on the outermost rings of the wing sections will be too
great. The rings and the support wheels will be pressed too far down
and they will leave clearly visible ridges in the soil.
2 The middle/inside section of the side wings will not penetrate deep
enough into the soil and the field finishing will be uneven.
Too little pressure
1 There is not enough pressure on the outer rings of the wing sections
and the support wheels to press the T-rings sufficiently into the soil.
2 The middle of the MaxiDisc will pack the soil too heavily, resulting in
an uneven field finishing.
Check all the accumulators on the machine
at least once a year for
leaks and to ensure that the precharge pressure is set correctly .
Contact an authorized Dal-Bo dealer for more information.
Driving Instructions
The MaxiDisc is an effective soil management tool that is capable of mixing a
large quantity of soil and plant residue. Proper driving practices and equip-
ment settings are necessary to ensure that the fields will be left even and with-
out any ridges.
Best results will be achieved by driving slightly diagonally to the sowing di-
rection. When the correct working depth has been found, set a fixed depth
stop position on the tractor lift. The depth can also be continually adjusted
during operation if necessary.
