Tufline MVT1710, Operator'S Manual, Page: 26 / 50

To adjust the front or rear gang angles remove
the angle adjusting lever (Ref. 1, Photo 1A)
from the tongue assembly. Remove the gang
adjusting bar (Ref. 1, Photo 1B) from slide plate
stud (Ref. 2, Photo 1B). Place hole in angle
adjusting lever (Ref. 3, Photo 1B) over slide
plate stud (Ref. 2, Photo 1B). Insert angle
adjusting lever stud (Ref. 4, Photo 1B) into
proper hole in gang adjusting bar. This will pro-
vide leverage to shift the slide plate (Ref. 5,
Photo 1B) whichever direction you desire for
the gang angle needed. Once desired gang
angle is set, position the gang adjusting bar
over the stud on slide plate. Use hair pin clips
to secure. Hang the angle adjusting lever back
on hose holder until further adjustments are
needed.
STEP 2: LEVEL VERTICAL TILLAGE UNIT
FRONT TO REAR
The leveling system automatically keeps the disk
level from full depth penetration all the way up to
transport height. Once it is set for the particular
tractor drawbar height, only minor adjustments
will ever be required. The springs also allow
pressure controlled flexibility when obstructions
and/or uneven terrain are encountered.
Most operating problems are caused by unequal

pressure and penetration of the front and rear
gangs. Adjust the leveling system to obtain equal
penetration by the front and rear gangs and sta-
bilize the direction and side shift of the unit.
To adjust the leveling system use the handle
welded to the leveling arm (Ref. 1, Photo 2).
Turning clockwise will lower the rear and coun-
ter-clockwise will raise the rear. It is recom-
mended to re-adjust the levelness when unit is
at actual working depth to prevent ridging.
IMPORTANT: It is important that the transport
wheels be in contact with the ground and have
some pressure on them for the leveling system
to work properly. If they are not in contact with
the ground the front gangs could severely
gouge into the ground and cause ridges.
STEP 3: SET WORKING DEPTH
The MVT17 is equipped with a depth control
bar (Ref. 1, Photo 3). The shallow disking hole
positions are indicated by (Ref. 2, Photo 3) and
the deep disking hole positions are indicated by
(Ref. 3, Photo 3). To set depth control, stop the
tractor with the disk clear of the ground. Lower
the unit to the ground. Remove the pin (Ref. 4,
Photo 3) from the depth control bar. Disengage
