Adjusting the plough
This chapter describes the plough adjustments required to obtain the
desired ploughing result.
Adjustments can be carried out before and during ploughing.
Recommended working order
We recommend you to use the following working order when adjusting
the plough in the field
Parallel setting of the wheel
Working width
First furrow width
Working depth with depth wheel and depth control
Levelling of the tractor's drawbars
Disc coulter, skimmer and skimming board
If one function is adjusted, this will affect the others. Therefore, this ad-
justment must be carried out several times.
Safety
Use protective clothing
Use protective clothing, e.g. gloves, when working with sharp parts of
the plough. Parts that come into contact with the soil can be very
sharp. Failure to handle these carefully may lead to injury.
Working width
Adjust the working-width cylinder using the tractor’s hydraulic out-
