TABLE OF CONTENTS
LED Light Operation
1. Attach the seven-pin plug to the socket at the rear of
the tractor. The socket must be in good working order,
and free of dirt, grease, and corrosion. The
connection must be clean with good contact for the
LED light to function properly. Fully insert the plug into
the connector and make sure the latch securely hooks
the plug.
2. Allow enough cable above the hitch to allow for
turning. Secure or tie up any excess cable to prevent
it from catching on the hitch or stalks.
3. Verify proper light function before transporting.
Replace or repair any component that is damaged or
not functioning. Make sure all lighting is clean and
clearly visible. Follow local regulations regarding
lighting & marking.
General Operation
1. The horsepower requirements are typically 6-8 PTO
horsepower per foot of cut for the Field Cultivator.
This will vary widely due to speed, depth, moisture,
residue, and types of soils. Local dealers can help in
making recommendations for your areas.
2. Operating speed is typically 5-8 mph. Excessive
speed can cause the unit to bounce and create
uneven working depth and ridge.
3. Lift wheels must always be in contact with the ground
and carrying some implement weight.
4. Avoid turning sharply with the Field Cultivator in the
ground. This can put excessive side load on the
shanks, harrow, and hitch. Always raise the Field
Cultivator completely when making turns or backing
to prevent shank damage. Reduce speed at field
ends, and raise cultivator before making turns.
Spring Shank
1. The Field Cultivator may be equipped with spring
shanks. The spring shanks feature a 185 lb. point load
and a 10” trip height to clear field obstructions.
Shanks are 5/8 x 1-3/4 heat treated steel.
2. There is no regular maintenance required on the
shanks. The main pivot point of the spring shank has
replaceable hardened wear bushings that pivot on a
heat treated clamp bushing.
NOTE
Main pivot bolt should be tightened securely to
prevent rotation. Torque main pivot bolt to 140 ft.-lbs.
3. When adjusting/assembling the spring assembly,
tighten the upper spring bolt, but leave approximately
1/8” gap above the spring jam nut
See Figure 4-11 .
This will leave the proper clearance for the spring to
pivot. Lock the jam nut against the top of the spring,
not the top of the mount. Likewise do not over tighten
the lower spring cross bolt. Remove any slack in the
bolt, but still allow the lower spring to pivot freely.
Sweeps
1. The spring or s-tine shanks will accept a wide variety
of sweeps and points. Recommended sweeps for the
cultivator are standard 47° sweeps in 7 to 10 inch
widths using 7/16 diameter mounting hardware.
Check clearances when using larger sweeps to avoid
interference with tires.
