inches between pin centers to achieve the 24-inch
dimension mentioned above. When adjusting the
turnbuckle length, remember:
•
Lengthening turnbuckle raises drill.
•
Shortening turnbuckle lowers drill.
4. After adjusting both turnbuckles to the same length,
tighten jam nuts.
5. Level drill with top three-point link.

inch dimension shown in figure 4 is a
general dimension that will vary with planting
conditions.
Make sure the opener mount is running higher than the
opener body. This will ensure an ample reserve for opener
upfloat in case the opener strikes a rock or other object.
