Adjustments
Each notch on the adjustment cam will increase the
down pressure on the row unit springs. Use the table
as a setting reference.
Do not set all rows any higher than notch 4. Using
settings above this on all rows will create uneven
depth control and improper function.
Individual rows may be set higher if running in heavy
tires tracks.
Row Unit Opener Disks
Crushing Hazard
Install lift cylinder locks when working on
the machine. A falling machine can cause
severe injury or death.
Sharp Object Hazard
Opener disks are sharp and may result in
injury. Wear hand protection when working
in this area.
Crushing Hazard
Make sure machine is secure before
working on the machine. A falling machine
can cause severe injury or death.
The 5000 series openers have three adjustments:
planting seed depth,
openers disk to disk clearance, and
side gauge wheel/opener disk clearance.
Setting Planting Depth
The T-handle sets planting depth by limiting how high
the side depth gauge wheels ride relative to the
opener disks. The position of the seed tube is fixed
relative to the disks and is not adjusted.
To adjust seed depth, pull the T-handle up and back
and move it forward or back to another setting.
For shallower planting, move the T-handle forward.
For deeper planting, move the T-handle back.
Disk-to-Disk Spacing
Opener disk angle and stagger is not adjustable, but
disk-to-disk spacing is, and may need attention as
disks experience normal wear. Spacers will need to
be reset when blades are replaced.
The ideal spacing causes the blades to be in contact
for about 1 inch (2.5 cm) (A). If you insert two pieces
of paper between the blades, the paper should slide
from touching to 1 1/2inch (3.8 cm) from each other.
If the contact area is significantly larger or there is a
large gap, adjust by moving one or more spacer
washers.
1. Raise the planter and install lift cylinder locks.
2. Remove the side gauge wheels on the row unit
which needs an adjustment.
3. Remove the bolt (1) retaining the opener disk (2)
on one side.
