4.5 Haybuster 147C Drill Opener
The 147C Drill uses a coulter-disk offset opener. The coulter blade leads the disk by 1-1/2”. Both blades are the same
size and due to the offset, there is some sliding action where the blades contact. This sliding or scissor action provides
excellent residue cutting action at ground level, especially in wet residue. The scissor action causes some wear into the
coulter blade at the point of contact. This wear is normal and the heavier coulter blade is bolted to the bearing cage to
allow easy replacement.
One complete turn changes points A and B (DWG. 1) the amount shown in DWG. 2. It takes 6 turns to bring points A
and B back together.

the bolt until the guide tube is tight against the tank. The remaining assemblies use a spring, washers, bolt and a top
locknut. On these remaining assemblies, the springs should be tightened to 1-1/16” - 1-1/8”.
