Heights and Leveling
All frame sections must be at the correct height and level
to maintain even planting depth.
Periodic frame-leveling adjustments should not be
necessary. If you are having problems with uneven
depth, check product levelness and follow these
procedures.
1. Before making any adjustments be sure the lift
cylinders are re-phased and operating properly. If
not, see “
2. Complete “
3. Unfold the product fully (page 26).
Set Tongue Height
Product must be unfolded for this procedure.
Set the initial tongue height, using 3-point or hydraulic
tongue cylinder. Distance is measured at top of tongue to
ground level.
•
For standard 3-point hitch:
Set depth stop to capture this working height.
If desired height cannot be attained with normal
range of hitch, swivel coupler weldment may be
relocated in tongue bolt holes.
Tractor 3-point control must be in Depth Control
mode, and not Draft Control mode.
•
For hydraulic tongue:
Note the scale reading on the tongue for this height.
[Re]set the tongue height to this value when
planting.
Checking Product Height
The product is designed to operate with all sections of
the main tool bar nominally 26 inches (66 cm) above the
planting surface. The height of the center section is not
routinely adjustable. Set planting depth with row unit
adjustments.
When lowering the product for the first time on the
planting ground:
1. Completely lower the main tool bar. If necessary, first
lift off transport locks, remove and stow locks.
2. Set hitch to planting height.
3. Pull forward a few feet or just over a meter.
Height Mis-adjustment Risk:
Fully lower implement name to field position (with openers
into ground) and set hitch height before making side-to-side
adjustments.
4. Check tool bar height across product. See page 118
for further detail and adjustment.
