3. Once the cultivator is set level side to side, the machine must be adjusted to run level from
front to back. This "fore & aft" leveling is accomplished by adjusting the top link of the hitch in
or out by turning the turnbuckle adjuster located on the hitch, adjust the top link as required
to bring the front row of tines level with the tines on the back. The adjustment of the working
depth and setting of the gauge wheels will also have an influence on the before and after
levelness of the machine and you will have to "fine tune" this setting as well when you begin
working in the field. The front and rear tines should be working the soil to the same depth.
4. After following the previous steps to level the machine, the initial working depth of the tines can
be set. This is accomplished by adjusting the mechanical stroke control on the centre section
master cylinder out until you are cultivating at the desired depth. The wheel tower sliders and
gauge wheels can then be fine tuned so that the wings work level and at the same depth as
the centre section.
Note how the culitvator in this
photograph is running deeper
in the front then at the back.
Therefore the turn buckle ad-
juster should be lengthened
to make the front level with
the back.
Turn the Turn Buckle to move the slider in
or out as needed so the machine is running
level from front to back.
