Track loosening tines

Individual disc pairs can be set deeper to loosen

tractor tracks.

Contrary to the tines, discs do not tend to be-

come blocked.

Track loosening discs

Loosen and remove the upper screw (1).

Slightly loosen the lower screw (2), if nec-

essary, to allow swivelling the bracket of the

disc.

Insert the upper screw into the desired posi-

tion in the hole pattern.

Retighten all screws.

Adjust all track loosening discs equally.

Check the working quality of the discs in the

field and correct, if required.
