 For a stable first furrow width, the imaginary intersection of the draw
arms should be 1/3 of the axle distance behind the front axle. If this is
not the case, replace the drag axle with another length.

»Drag axle« page 12

The  first  furrow  is  regulated  manually  using  a  turnbuckle.  The  turn-
buckle is adjusted so that the first furrow is like the remaining furrows. 

The drag axle is fitted so that the rotational point is approx 100 mm
from the centre of the axle.
