Rolling Basket Down Pressure
An optional rolling basket assembly is available to
complement the 1tRIPr® II Row Unit. Rolling baskets
reduce clod size to decrease soil variability, retain
existing soil moisture, and complete the optimum
seedbed. Rolling baskets are mounted to the rear of the
row unit tail section. See “Rolling Basket Assembly
Installation” on page 4-8.

Be extremely careful working around unshielded sharp
edges. Injury may result from contact with sharp edges.

desired.
NOTE: Tighten tension nut to increase the spring tension,
creating more rolling basket (6) down pressure.
Loosen tension nut to decrease the spring
tension, reducing the rolling basket down
pressure.
