Hitch Height/Toolbar Angle
Hitch height is critical to the proper row
unit/seed tube angle to provide the best seed
placement.
With the toolbar completely lowered, the top
of the toolbar should be level to 3 degrees
tilted back compared to top of axle or level
ground surface. In the example picture to the
left, the toolbar is shown tilted forward so
adjustment needs to be performed.
The first adjustment that should be made is
move the hitch to a lower set of holes (shown
to the right) to raise the hitch height and angle
the toolbar back.
Minor adjustments may be made by adding or
removing shims from the toolbar cylinders.
Lastly, on pre-2018 2430 models, the gauge
wheel cylinder stop may need to be changed,
or other size stops added/removed, to provide
a level toolbar across the span of the
machine.
