6.8 Row Finder
Amity harvesters have the option of a hydraulic row finder
attachment. The Row finder helps keep the lifter struts di-
rectly in line with crop rows. See section 7.1 for adjustments.
6.9 Digging Depth
Digging depth varies with soil and crop conditions. Three inches
(7.62 cm) is a good starting point. Actual digging depth is best de-
termined by checking the depth in several areas after harvesting
100 feet (30 meters).
IMPORTANT:
Though 3 inches (7.62 cm) is a good starting depth,
the shallowest possible depth to lift whole beets should be used.
Digging shallower will
extend the life of the machine.
6.9.1 Pinch Point Spacing and Position
The pinch point position and spacing should be placed to allow maximum beet yield while minimiz-
ing the amount of excess soil and debris entering the machine. See sections 7.4 and 7.5 for adjust-
ments.
6.10 Wheel Fillers
Optional wheel fillers can be bolted onto lifter wheels to lift more soil, helping reduce beet damage
in extremely dry conditions and loss of small beets through lifter wheel spokes. See section 7.6 for
installation.
IMPORTANT:
Wheel fillers should only be used when necessary. Loading excess soil into machine
can reduce machine life and lead to excess wear on components.
