Field Operation
This implement is designed to be pulled in the field with
the machine engaged (including wide turns). Lifting for
short distances to clear residue clogs is acceptable.
Lifting for tight turns or reverse moves is required.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Lift for tight turns and reverse moves. Tight turns can result in
a section moving backward. Never back up with harrows on
the ground. If the inside tire stops or rolls backward, the turn is
tight and requires lift.
Field Set-Up Checklists
Use the following tables to develop a final checklist for
your tractor/Turbo-Chisel configuration. Additional or
fewer steps may be necessary depending on tractor
features, Turbo-Chisel options and planting accessories.
General Operation and In-Field
Adjustments
1. Remove the transport pins, see “
on page 15 and unfold machine. Make sure the fold
cylinders are fully extended to allow the wings to fully
flex in the field.
2. If possible have someone observe the machine
during first time operation for levelness, front to rear
and wings to center frame.
