tracks, the arm’s pivot point may be lowered. See

arm which allows the row unit to independently move
up and down. The adjustable spring provides the
force to get the row unit and attachments into the
Row Unit Down Pressure (Spring)
3. Disc Blades: standard, 2 per row unit

No adjustments are necessary.
5. Disc Scraper: standard (not shown)
