OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Tractor Preparation
The Landoll 9650 Field Cultivator is designed to be pulled
by tractor equipped with a double lip or clevis type hitch.
If your tractor is not equipped as such, you need to
purchase the hitch from your local tractor dealer. Before
attaching the Field Cultivator, prepare the tractor as
follows:
1. Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and add ballast
according to the tractor operator’s manual.
2. Lock the tractor drawbar in the center position.
Prior to Transport
1. Use a locking style hitch pin that properly fits the
holes in the tractor drawbar and implement hitch.
2. Attach safety chain.
3. Plug in safety lights to the tractor seven-pin
connector.
4. Raise the implement parking jack and place in the
field storage position.
5. Make sure all transport locks and pins are installed.
Do not depend solely on implement hydraulics for
transport.
6. Check that tires are of proper size, load rating, and
inflated to manufacture specifications before
transporting. Check wheel lug bolts to insure
tightness.
7. Know the transport heights and widths of the unit
before transporting. Attachments such as leveling
harrows can increase the transport dimensions of the
implement. Use caution when transporting near
bridges and power lines.

DANGER
8. Verify that all warning lights, SMV sign, reflectors and
safety decals are clearly visible and functioning
properly. Remove any obstructions such as dirt, mud,
stalks or residue that restricts view before
transporting.
9. Transport during daylight hours whenever possible.
Always use flashing warning lights, except where
such use is prohibited by law.
Leveling (Front-to-Rear)
1. The Field Cultivator hitch is fully adjustable for height
so the implement may be set to operate level from
front-to-rear. This will insure the sweeps run level,
and have an even working depth across the
implement. Height may be adjusted for various
tractor drawbar heights, operating depth,
attachments, etc.
2. To adjust the Field Cultivator hitch height, loosen the
locking jam nuts on each end of the adjustable radius
rod located above the hitch
See Figure 4-6 .
Wrenches are stored on the center frame to make
this adjustment. Extend or retract the radius rod to
obtain the desired hitch height.
Figure 4-6: Radius Rod Adjustment
NOTE
It may be easier to adjust the radius rod when the unit is
lowered to the ground to remove pressure from the radius
rod. Retighten the locking jam nuts when finished.
3. Front gauge wheels should be adjusted accordingly
to match the changes in hitch height. Proper gauge
wheel adjustment will also insure the wing sections
operate evenly front-to-rear.
Stay away from power lines when transporting,
extending or folding implement. Electrocution
can occur without direct contact.
