SLC Spring Loaded Cultivator
Assembly
Before Use & Adjustments
Before mounting of cultivator make sure that all nuts & bolts are properly secured. Also determine
soil and trash conditions of the field and make the preliminary adjustments. e.g.
Tine leveling
To eliminate uneven working and side draft, leveling is done by means of top link.
Depth Control
The depth at which the implement is required to work is controlled hydraulically by raising or
lowering the control lever on the tractor.
Attaching the Cultivator to the Tractor
1. Place the cultivator duly leveled on the flat piece of land.
2. Reverse the tractor to the cultivator (Do not drag the cultivator up to the tractor).
3. Attach the left arm of the tractor to the cultivator first.
4. Attach the central arm to the cultivator. To attach, turn the screws on both sides to an equal
length. If the arm is too short or too long, turn the screw to adjust both at the same time until
aligned with the hole on the central arm.
5. Attach the lower right arm, turn the screw until the mounting pin is at the same level as the hole
on the tractor arm. If the gap between the hole and mounting pin is too close or too distant, turn
the control arm in or pull it away to an appropriate distance. You may have to adjust both height
and distance at the same time. When the hole at tractor arm and mounting pin are even, insert
the pin in the hole and lock it with the lynch pin.
6. After attaching the cultivator, lift it and adjust the control arm parallel to the ground. When you
look from both rear or sideways, all shovels should be touching the ground uniformly.
