Tractor Preparation
The Chisel Plow may be used on tractors equipped with
CAT 2 Free Link or CAT 2, 3N Quick Coupler 3-PT
Hitches. Before attaching the Chisel Plow, prepare the
tractor as follows:
a. The rear tractor tires should be inflated equally
and ballast added according to the tractor
operator’s manual.
b. Check that both lower lift arms are set to the same
height.
CAUTION
Attaching to 3-PT Hitch
1. Carefully back the tractor into place.
2. Attach the Chisel Plow to the tractor.
3. For tractors equipped with Quick Hitches:
a. Attach quick hitch to the Chisel Plow.
b. Raise and make sure lower pin locks are secured.
c. When disconnecting the Chisel Plow, adjust
stands to leave the toolbar tilted slightly forward.
This will permit easier disconnecting and
reattaching.
4. For tractors not equipped with Quick Hitch:
a. Attach lower lift arms of the tractor to the Chisel
Plow utilizing appropriate pins. Chisel Plow
models come with either CAT 2 or CAT 3N
NARROW hitches.
b. Attach top link after connecting lower lift arms.
Park Chisel Plow on a firm level surface.
5. Reinstall the stabilizer bars or sway blocks before
transporting.
Field Operation
1. Lower the Chisel Plow to the ground and pull it a few
feet at the approximate desired depth.
2. Check for front-to-rear levelness. Level the frame by
adjusting the 3-PT Hitch Top Link until the frame is
level to the ground.
a. Set shank depth by adjusting the max depth stop
on the 3-Point Control in the tractor.
b. Set shank depth by adjusting both Optional
Gauge Wheels the same direction from the
bottom of the tire to the tip of the Shank, which is
the approximate working depth of the Shank.
Loosen the 5/8-11 x 3 Bolts without removing the
Nuts and raise or lower the Gauge Wheels to the
desired depth. Tighten all hardware to the
recommended torques and check periodically for
looseness.
See "General Torque
Specifications" on page 4-1.
3. Always lift the Chisel Plow completely out of the
ground before turning or backing to prevent shank
damage or damage to their respective mounting
brackets.
4. Reduce speed at field ends, raise the Chisel Plow out
of the ground.
5. After a few hours of initial operation, check all
hardware for tightness. Tighten any loose Hardware.
Spring Shank Tension
Adjustment
For normal operation, the Locknuts on the Spring
mounting should be tightened so that one inch of thread is
exposed.
See Figure 3-1.
In tougher soil you may want to increase the Spring
tension or compress the spring more. Keep in mind that
when this is done, the shank and tooth will not pass over
as great of obstruction.
