Spring Trip Beam
The beam trips are factory set and are slightly higher
than minimum load limit.
RB99N030
If soil conditions change within or from field to field,
adjust the trip load as follows:
I
ncrease the trip load
; while holding the opposite
end with another wrench, tighten the adjusting bolt
(1) or nut (2) until the frequency of tripping does not
hinder plowing operation. This reduces the frequency
of tripping in hard ground, but will also increase the
possibility of bottom damage.
Decrease the trip load
; while holding the opposite
end with another wrench, loosen the adjusting bolt
(1) or nut (2) until the frequency of tripping increases.
This increase in tripping will reduce the load limit and
will minimize the bottom damage.
Deep Suck Share
Share, shins and landsides are held to the frog by
plow bolts. After plowing for awhile, raise the plow
bottoms and check the bolts to see if they are loose.
Tighten all bolts as necessary.
NOTE:
Plow bolts have left hand threads.
The plow bottoms are attached to the beams with 5/8
inch bolts. These bolts must be checked periodically
and torqued to 200 lb ft (270 Nm).
If the plow is equipped with the stop or landside
block, ensure it fits tightly against the landside.
Periodically check the stop or landside block while
plowing.
Rolling Colter (If equipped)
Check the distance from the colter blade to the left
side of the landside. It should be approximately 3/4
inch (19 mm) for average soil conditions. To adjust
the colter, loosen the colter shank clamp and turn the
shank with a wrench to swing the colter blade. Make
sure the colter blade is parallel with the landside
when making measurements. A set collar is provided
to prevent the colter from swinging completely
around. The colter will pivot when turning left or right.
Side Arm Colter (If equipped)
Adjustment to the colter blade can be made using the
7/16 inch bolt for shallow plowing depth or additional
penetration. Remove the bolt (1) from the shallow
plowing depth. Allow the colter arm (2) to swing
downward until the bolt can be inserted in the second
hole (3) for additional penetration.
