4-1 TRACTOR PREPARATION
The Landoll 875 Series Tilloll is designed to be
pulled by tractor equipped with a double lip or cle-
vis type hitch. If your tractor is not equipped as
such, you need to purchase the hitch from your lo-
cal tractor dealer. If your Tilloll is equipped with the
clevis option, this should be removed. The clevis
option is only for transport use. Before attaching
the Tilloll, prepare the tractor as follows:
4-1.1 Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and
add ballast according to the tractor opera-
tor’s manual.
4-1.2 Lock the tractor drawbar in the center
position.
4-1.3 Install front end weights as needed on
the tractor to maintain stability.
4-2 TILLOLL PREPARATION
4-2.1 Prior to operating the 875 Series Tilloll,
inspect it thoroughly for good operating con-
dition.
4-2.2 Replace worn or missing parts.
4-2.3 When the machine is new, check the
bolt tightness after a few hours of operation.
Tighten any loose nuts or bolts. Check the
gauge wheel lug bolts daily.
4-2.4 Check the gauge wheel tire inflation. In-
flate all tires equally to avoid side draft. Fol-
low the tire manufacturer’s recommended
pressures listed on the sidewall of the tires.
4-2.5 Check disc scrapers for proper adjust-
ment to the disc blade. (See Figure 4-1). To
adjust the pressure of the disc gang scrap-
ers, loosen the u-bolts that clamp the assem-
bly to the disc gang and slide the scraper as-
sembly into the disc blades. Only enough
pressure is required to keep the disc blades
clean. The scraper blades are reversible to
allow extended use before replacement is re-
quired.
4-2.6 Lubricate the machine as shown in Sec-
tion 4-13 (See Figure 4-6).
