Operating Instructions
Finish Reel
Down pressure to the finish reels is a key component in the
operation of the Terra Max.
7. Initially it is recommended to start these out in the float so
we are not applying pressure which could affect other
components of the machine. Once all the previous settings
are completed to satisfaction, increased down pressure to
the reels can be applied. Initial down pressure should be
about 200-300PSI. Increases from there can be done
depending on conditions. Never exceed 800 PSI. Do not
run down pressure in very wet fields and you may need to
raise it completely in some circumstances.
8. If your machine is equipped with the optional hydraulic
reels you can adjust the down pressure form the cab of the
tractor by raising and lowering the reels using the
hydraulics. Watch the gauge (6) to check how much down
pressure you are using, or to adjust the valve.
NOTE: Avoid Down Pressure In Wet Conditions
It is recommended to run little or no down pressure in
wet or sticky field conditions.
9. The bars on the reels are angled forward (7) and should be
installed as such on the machine. In some conditions in
which a firming of the soil is more desirable than breaking
up clods then these reels can be mounted in reverse (8).
This does however increase the chance of causing damage
to the bars in rocky soil.
WARNING: Rough Terrain Hazard
Be sure reels are installed with twisted bars oriented forward (7)
as shown. Mounting in reverse (8) can damage reel in rocky soil.
