TILLAGE LINKAGE ARMS:
The 6700 Series Rip Strip Tillage Linkage Arms come as standard equipment on all 6700 Series mod-
els. They are used in conjunction with the rear tillage/finishing tools, allowing these tools to be
mounted and float independently from the ripper shanks. These linkage arms should be pre-mounted to
the bar when your unit arrives. Verify the pre-mount location of all the Tillage Linkage Arms on this
unit, by going to the “
Overhead Layout
” portion of this section and searching for the size and row
pattern of your unit. Review these dimensions making sure that they match the dimensions on your
unit. In some instances, it may be necessary to move the Tillage Linkage Arms to allow room for op-
tional aftermarket equipment or if there is a problem with the original pre-installed setup. To reposi-
tion or move the Tillage Linkage Arms from their original pre-installed location, loosen or remove the
3/4” V-bolt and 3/4” hardware from the 7x7 bar and the 3/4” U-bolt and 3/4” hardware from the rear 2
-1/2 x 2-1/2 bar, then either slide over or take off and move the arms to the desired location. When
taking off and moving the arms, make sure the arms are fully supported and secured in place with any
hoisting or lifting device. Once all components have been repositioned and the Tillage Linkage Arms
are in place, fully tighten all loosened hardware. (Refer to the “
Bolt Torque Chart
” at the first of this
section for proper assembly torque).
