Drill Preparation and Setup

Frame Leveling Adjustment
Periodic frame leveling should not be necessary, but if
you are having trouble maintaining equal coulter depth
across the drill, check that the frame is level. When the
drill is level, the box frames will be the same distance
from the ground at both ends of the drill.
Complete the steps under
Bleed the Fold Hydraulics
,
page 18, before proceeding.
Refer to Figure 6
1.
Locate the threaded eye bolt at the base end of the
gauge-wheel cylinders (1). The eye bolt is locked in
place by a jam nuts. Observe the amount of thread
exposed above the upper nut and below the lower
nut. If the exposed threads are roughly equal, no
initial adjustment is needed. Go to step 3.
2.
If the exposed threads above and below the nuts are
not equal, loosen and adjust the jam nuts until the
exposed threads are within 3/8 inch of each other.
Repeat for other end of drill.
3.
Move the drill to a level area. With the drill unfolded,
check that the tool-bar cylinders are completely
extended. Raise the drill to its highest position with
the field-lift cylinders. With the tractor idling, rephase
the cylinders by holding the hydraulic lever on for an
additional 30 seconds. Immediately lower the boxes
until the coulters and openers are just ready to touch
the ground.
4.
Move the gauge-wheel eye bolts (1) in or out until the
frames are level. When the frames are level, the
openers on the outside end of the drill will be the
same height as the center openers.
Eye-bolt adjustments are easier if the drill is first
lowered to the ground to remove some of the force
on the cylinders.
5.
Repeat the steps above until the drill is level end-to-
end when drilling in actual seeding conditions.
