Adjusting the plough
35
First furrow width
Do not adjust in the raised position
Do not adjust the first furrow width when the plough is raised above
the ground. This may result in damage or injury.
In general, the first furrow should match the width of the other furrows.
Please be aware of the following:
•
When using wide tyres on the tractor, decrease the first furrow
width, to ensure a good connection with the previous furrows.
•
On slopes, compensate for the plough’s downwards drift.
•
When using a furrow opener on the last body, make the first furrow
width 13 cm smaller than the width of the other furrows.

supplied.
Hydraulic
> Adjust the first furrow width cylinder using the tractor's spool valve
control.
