TROUBLESHOOTING
1TRIPR II Row Units OM-EN
6-2
Row Unit Tooling Does Not
Penetrate Soil. Wing Row Units
Float Upward.
Field height conditions can vary causing the 1tRIPr ll®
Row Unit not to penetrate the soil.
• Adjust toolbar height and orientation. See “Toolbar
Height and Orientation” on page 5-2.
• Adjust row unit down pressure. See “Row Unit Down
Pressure” on page 5-4.
• Raise wavy coulter assembly. Wavy coulters can act
as a footprint and prevent soil penetration. See
“Wavy Coulter Assembly Depth and Width” on
page 5-14.
• Lower tillage shank. See “Tillage Shank Assembly
Depth” on page 5-12.
Row Unit Plugs With Field
Residue Between the Depth
Band Coulter Assembly and Row
Cleaner Assembly.
Wet or damp field conditions can adversely affect the
performance of the 1tRIPr ll® Row Unit. Typically, wet or
damp field conditions do not allow residue to pass
through the row unit as effectively as drier conditions.
• Adjust toolbar height and orientation. See “Toolbar
Height and Orientation” on page 5-2.
• Alter ground speed to change rate at which field
residue passes through row unit tooling. Slower
ground speeds generally reduce plugging by allowing
residue to pass smoothly through row unit tooling.
• Raise row cleaner assembly. See “Row Cleaner
Assembly Depth” on page 5-6.
• Adjust row cleaner width. See “Row Cleaner
Assembly Width” on page 5-8.
• Remove row cleaner assembly. See “Row Cleaner
Assembly Depth” on page 5-6.
Row Unit Plugs With Field
Residue Between the Row
Cleaner Assembly and Tillage
Shank.
Wet or damp field conditions can adversely effect the
performance of the 1tRIPr ll® Row Unit. Typically, wet or
damp field conditions do not allow residue to pass
through the row unit as effectively as drier conditions.
• Lower row cleaner assembly to reduce the amount of
field residue in front of the tillage shank. See “Row
Cleaner Assembly Depth” on page 5-6.
• Adjust toolbar height and orientation. See “Toolbar
Height and Orientation” on page 5-2.
• Alter ground speed to change rate at which field
residue passes through row unit tooling. Slower
ground speeds generally reduce plugging by allowing
residue to pass smoothly through row unit tooling.
• Adjust row cleaner width. See “Row Cleaner
Assembly Width” on page 5-8.
Row Unit Plugs With Field
Residue Between the Tillage
Shank and Wavy Coulters.
Wet or damp field conditions can adversely effect the
performance of the 1tRIPr ll® Row Unit. Typically, wet or
damp field conditions do not allow residue to pass
through the row unit as effectively as drier conditions.
• Adjust wavy coulter tillage width. Increasing tillage
width should allow residue to pass between the wavy
coulters. See “Wavy Coulter Assembly Depth and
Width” on page 5-14.
NOTE: It is not recommended for the wavy coulter tillage
width to exceed the width at which row cleaners
remove residue. If wavy coulter tillage zone
exceeds the residue free strip, the wavy coulters
are more likely to plug and not penetrate the soil.
• Adjust wavy coulter assembly to increase distance
between tillage shank assembly and wavy coulter
assembly. See “Wavy Coulter Assembly Fore and
Aft” on page 5-16.
NOTE: Increasing the distance relationship between row
unit tooling usually increases the ability of field
residue to pass through the row unit without
plugging.
• Alter ground speed to change rate at which field
residue passes through row unit tooling. Slower
ground speeds generally reduce plugging by allowing
residue to pass smoothly through row unit tooling.
