Opener Height
The depth to which the opener disk blades penetrate the
soil is controlled in front by the tool bar and pivot (opener
height), and in the back by the press wheel height.
If the actual ground level is lower for some rows, such as
those in tire tracks, you can lower that row unit by
lowering the pivot point.
1.
Raise the drill just enough to relieve tension in the
down-pressure spring.
2.
Remove the bolt from the upper hole
.
3.
Re-position the arm at the lower hole
, and secure
with bolt.
NOTE:
No spring tension or position adjustment is required if
opener height is changed. The pivot holes are
designed for neutral effect on spring tension. (The bolt
at the top end of the spring uses a hole
that
depends on spring length, and not opener height.)
Row Unit Down Pressure (Spring)
For planting in tire tracks, and for no-till conditions, you
can increase spring pressure on individual openers, or all
openers. Adjust the spring in conjunction with the
subframe down-force, and opener height, to keep the top
of the row unit parallel to the ground.
Refer to Figure 54 and Figure 55
To increase spring pressure:
1.
Loosen jam nut
at lower end of opener spring.
2.
Tighten flange against spring tension.
NOTE:
Each
1
4
inch adjustment adds about 17 pounds of
force at opener disk (approximately 12 kg per cm).
3.
After adjusting, lock flange nut in place with jam nut.
The length
of the spring is factory-set to:
12
9
16
in (31.9cm).
The reference points for this length are the center of the
upper/front clevis pin
and the top edge of the
lower/rear spring stop cup
.
The factory preset length is recommended for
conventional till and min-till conditions. Shorten it for
no-till conditions. The minimum recommended length is:
12
1
4
in (31.1cm).
