Operating Instructions
b. Spring Reset Mounts can be equipped with several dif-
ferent shank and point configurations. The most popu-
lar is the Parabolic Shank with a 7” winged point. This
point is similar to the ones on the toggle trip shank
except It has a “fin” on it that helps minimize shank
“blow out”. The combination of these shank assem-
blies and the Toggle Trip shanks provide the best com-
bination for fracturing the ground completely while
leaving the surface in a relatively “smooth” condition.
By following the combination with a Chopper Reel or
Buster Bar, one pass finishing in the Spring is attain-
able. Spring Reset Mounts can also be equipped with
a Standard Chisel Shank which supports many point
options. See chart below for a detailed analysis of the
varying point options.

6. The chopper reel attachment is designed to help size the soil
and residue coming out of the back of the machine and level
the soil surface. The reels should be run as far forward as
possible without causing plugging of the reel assemblies or
the machine. In wetter conditions, they may need to be moved
back some to allow the soil to “settle” before coming in
contact with the reels. Also in wet conditions, it is not
advisable to apply down pressure on the reels as this will
cause them to plug with mud.
