11.4 

Setting the tractor/plough pull line 

Set the tractor/plough pull line using the 
inner screw (2) so that there is no side pull.

  Tractor pulls towards the ploughed land: 

  Turn the screw (2) to make it shorter. 

 Tractor pulls towards the unploughed 

land: 

  Turn the screw (2) to make it longer. 

 

 

  Never shorten the inner screw too much; this saves turning en-

ergy, reduces oil heating, increases the lift height, reduces 
landside wear and reduces the traction requirement. 

 The inner screw is too long if the tractor pulls towards the 

ploughed land, the lower links are too tight and cannot move 
freely, or the lower links or headstock collide with parts of the 
tractor. 

 

 

11.5 Angle 

 

11.5.1 General information 

When ploughing, the base blade should be almost vertical to the ground as seen 
from the direction of travel. The correct angle is set when the ploughing pattern is 
uniform.  

If this is not the case, then the angular adjustment must be altered as described 
below.
