Leveling (Front-to-Rear)
1.
The 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 cultivator hitch height, loosen the hex
jam nuts on each end of the radius rod assembly
located above the hitch
. Adjustment
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.
Leveling (Side to Side)
1.
Leveling the Field Cultivator side-to-side involves
leveling the wing frames to the center frame. The unit
should be level side-to-side when operating in the
field.
2.
To level the unit, verify that all tires are properly
inflated. With the implement unfolded, raise the unit
to fully extend the lift cylinders. Continue to hold the
tractor lever 30-60 seconds to insure that the
cylinders are fully extended and the rephasing lift
system has been purged of air. Lower the implement
until the sweeps are approximately 1” off the ground.
On the center frame, lay a straight-edge across the
top of the frame, and measure the distance from the
walking tandem spindle to the top side of the frame of
both walking tandems
Adjust the lift
arms at the front of the Field Cultivator center frame
until the spindle heights are the same.
NOTE
T
he lift arm adjustment rods on the center frame will
extend approximately 1” from the forward lift arm nut
.
3.
An adjusting wrench is provided to make this
adjustment. It may be necessary to lower the Field
Cultivator to the ground and relieve weight on the lift
arms to make this adjustment. If required, fully raise
the implement, lower to just above the ground, and
re-verify measurements. Repeat as necessary and
securely tighten the 1-3/4” hex nuts when complete.
Figure 4-7: Lift Arm Adjustment
4.
Measure the same distance on the wing frame. The
wing frames are generally set 1” higher than the
center frame due to difference in tire diameter.
Adjusting the lift arm at the front of each wing frame
sets wing frame height.
