8.6 Straw harrow
The straw harrow will be fitted to the lower carrier (P5) between the rollers and
the hollow discs (K3).
By means of the pin (P2) the straw harrow can be adjusted either in working
depth as well as in the distance to the hollow discs (K3).
By means of the pins (P4) the angle of the straw harrow to the soil will be ad-
justed. The pin (P3) prevents a swinging back of the straw harrow in lifted po-
sition.
For work the straw harrow must be adjusted, so that the straw will be distri-
buted very well, but not pile up. It must be ensured, that the tines (P1) of the
straw harrow do not touch the rollers.
The steeper the harrow tines (P1) are positioned, the better is the crumbling.
The less steep the harrow tines (P1) are positioned, the less is the risk of clog-
ging.
Straw, which will be taken along by the harrow tines, can be taken out by the
rollers again. Therewith the risk of clogging will be minimised.
