Operating and Driving Instructions
Proper operation is essential for optimum performance of your MAXIDISC. Proper
operation concerns both the carrying out of tillage operations in the field as well as
the following of safety precautions. Make sure that you have a thorough under-
standing of all safety precautions.
Best results will be achieved by driving slightly diagonally to the sowing direction.
Also, you should drive as closely as possible to the previous pass to minimise the
distance between the rows.
Angle
The angle of the discs can be continuously adjusted hydraulically during operation,
enabling the operator to obtain the optimal setting according to field conditions. If
there are many patches of plant residue on the field, the angle can quickly be re-
duced to avoid blockage. The angle can also be reduced if the need for pulling force
becomes too great.
Travel Speed
A working speed between 8-12 km/hour is recommended, but always drive accord-
ing to conditions.
When the travel speed is increased, wear on the implement is increased, especially
under dry soil conditions. Damage to the discs and T-rings may also result from
driving too fast under unfavourable conditions.
Power requirements
Power requirements change according to soil type, terrain and travel speed.
