OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Product Description and
Operation
The High Speed Landoll (HSL) is a non-tradition tillage
tool. It is extremely versatile and can be used in lieu of
traditional primary tillage tools or may be used in final
seeding and planting preparations.
• The HSL can be employed at depths as shallow as
1-1/2 to 2 inches or as deep as 4-1/2 to 5 inches. It
can be adjusted to eradicate virtually all weeds.
• The HSL is capable of incorporating high amounts of
plant residue. It leaves a firm, reconsolidated soil
profile for conservation of not only the soil itself, but
the moisture in the soil profile.
The HSL is comprised of two rows of disc blades; each
individually mounted on a spring torsion type mount. The
row units rotate per field conditions and in response to
encountering obstacles in the soil.
• As the individual units rotates, the resistance to
rotation increases as the degree of rotation increases.
• The front row fractures soil to the left side of each of
the front blades, while the rear row fractures soil to the
right side of each of the rear blades.
• As a result, each blade, in each row is moving soil in
the same direction as the others within that row.
Because of this, the HSL creates and maintains a level
field.
The HSL has two depth gauges. One is directly in front of
the HSL machine, and one is directly behind it. The main
wheels and tires on the hitch, and the wing gauge wheels
and tires on the wing frames provide the forward most
depth gauge. The rear depth gauge is provided by the
reel/roller system the HSL was purchased with. The rear
gauge is available in three different offerings as shown in
(Figure 4-1.)
1. It is available as a twenty-one inch
(21”) chevron reel.
2. It is available as twenty-three and a half inch
(23-1/2”) spring wheel reel.
3. It is available as a twenty-one inch
(21”) corrugated rubber roller.
The depth of both the front and rear depth gauges is
controlled individually. The front and rear gauge depth
controls are located on the hitch and the left-hand wing
frame respectively. Each utilizes a master and slave
hydraulic cylinder system.
