Weight equalisation
To achieve uniform rolling across the
full width of the machine, a weight
equalisation system is fitted. The
need for weight equalisation arises
because the weight of the centre
frame and drawbar alone will affect
the central part of the roller. The sys-
tem consists of 2 tension springs
which tighten when the side sections
are extended. The system is correctly
set when the springs are just hanging
loosely with the side sections in
transport position.
Important!: The machine must always be fully retracted in transport position when
setting up the weight equalisation system.
Operating speed
An operating speed of 6-10 km/h is recommended, but always operate according to
conditions.
Power requirement will depend on soil type, terrain and speed. But the most im-
portant factor is whether the machine is fitted with a crackerboard, and if so, how
hard it is applied to the ground.
