Bent Moldboard
The Moldboard could have a slight curve
that developed during factory weld-up.
No solution required. Slight curve is
acceptable and does not affect operation.

hidden or not hidden in the ground.

several inches of product away.

Loosen soil with a Land Pride Scarifier.
Apply water to the surface or wait for a rain.

When Traveling Forward.

Mainframe
Moldboard retaining bolt is missing.
Check Moldboard pivot bolt daily. Make sure
it is properly tightened. Apply loctite if it
keeps coming loose. Replace missing bolt.
