Adjustments
Frame-Mounted Coulter Force
In normal operation at target running depth, the spring is
at full extension or only slightly compressed. It
compresses briefly as obstructions and denser soil are
encountered.
Coulter springs are set to 181 kg (400 lbs). In normal
operation at target running depth, the spring is at full
extension. It compresses briefly as obstructions are
encountered.
•
In heavy no-till conditions, you may observe the
springs in compression most of the time. This means
that the blades are not reaching the desired coulter
depth. If drill weight is available, you can increase the
spring down-force to compensate.
•
In light but rocky conditions, the factory spring setting
may be higher than needed. You can extend blade
life by reducing the force at which the blades ride up
over obstructions.
To adjust the coulter spring:
1.
Raise the drill and install transport locks. See
“
2.
Determine the new spring length
desired. See the
table at right.
3.
Measure the current length of the spring(s) to be
changed. If already shorter than 24.8cm (9
3
4
in), or
longer than 26cm (10
1
4
in), do not further adjust
them.
4.
Loosen the jam nut
.
5.
Rotate the adjuster nut
until the spring is at the
new length. Tighten the jam nut.
If all springs are continuously in compression, the
coulters can lift the wing frames off the ground (at the
gauge wheels), resulting in uneven coulter depth and/
or uneven seed depth. If the drill is already operating
at maximum down-pressure, reduce coulter depth.
Do not use spring lengths shorter than 24.8 cm (9.75 in). It
may contribute to premature parts failure which will not be
covered by warranty.
