Tillage Tools on the 6700 Series Rip Strip are optional according to the customer’s preference. Below are
the different combinations of tillage tools that KMC offers as standard options. Your preferred tillage tools
should come pre-assembled on the 6700 Series Rip Strip machine. Refer to the “
Layouts for Standard
Tillage Set-up
” in this section to verify placement of your particular tillage tool option. Verify not only
dimensional placement of the tools, but also the positional placement. From the following combinations of
tillage tools it can be seen that all the tillage stems are placed to the outside of the tool except on the In-Row
Tillage where the tillage stems are placed to the inside. Also, notice the front to rear placement of the tillage
mount brackets. On the Press Wheels the mount brackets mount to the front of the toolbar and on the In-
Row Tillage the mount brackets mount to the back side of the toolbar. On all other options the mount
brackets stagger from front to rear to allow better residue flow. If there should be a need to reposition any
of the tillage tools, loosen the appropriate hardware and relocate, making sure to fully support the item be-
ing moved, if needing to be completely taken off the rear toolbar. (Note: Care should be taken around all
tillage disc as the edges are extremely sharp.) Once all items have been repositioned and secured re-tighten
all loosened hardware. (Refer to the “
Bolt Torque Chart
” at the first of this section for proper assembly
torque). Note: Tillage tools should center around Ripper Shanks.
