Track eradicator
The track eradicators are used to loosen the soil that has been
compacted by the tractor wheels. The track eradicators are attached
to two equaliser bars, which are bolted onto the frame of the power
harrow. You can adjust the working depth of the track eradicators. The
track eradicators should penetrate around 5 cm in to the ground of the
compacted track.
Adjust the track eradicators to the centre line of the tractor tyres. If
there are two track eradicators per side, choose the line of the outside
edge of the tractor tyres.
