ADJUSTING TOP LINK
The box blade is leveled by adjusting the length of the
tractor's top link.
•
Shortening the top link will deepen the scarifier
tooth penetration.
•
Lengthening the top link will provide better scrap-
ing and leveling action.
Experience will allow the operator to determine the
best setting for the application being done.
SCARIFYING
1.
Place the scarifier shanks in position with the
points facing toward the tractor.
2.
Lock into position with the lock bars provided. The
lower shank position provides the greatest ground
penetration.
3.
Lower the box blade and drive the tractor ahead to
begin the scarifying operation.
4.
Adjust the depth of the scarifier by tilting the unit
with the tractor top link. Shortening the top link will
provide deeper and more aggressive operation.
SCRAPING
1.
Raise or remove the scarifier shanks. Lower the
box blade and drive forward to move material.
2.
Adjust the depth of the blade by tilting the unit with
the tractor top link.
Shortening the top link when scraping will transfer
more weight on the front of the box blade and will
raise the cutting blade to provide a more shallow
cut.
NOTE:
When the top link is adjusted properly, the
bowl of the blade should fill easily and material can
be pulled to a desired location.
3.
To change the level of the blade, shorten or
lengthen the tractor lift arm top link to provide the
correct slope.
4.
Spread material by gradually raising the box blade
as the tractor moves forward.
Top link adjustment for loose or previously scarified
material will differ from adjustment for hard or
compacted material.
