Preparing for operation
This chapter will guide you through the preparations that must be
made on the plough and tractor before you start operating the plough.
Tractor
Hydraulic connections
The following chart shows the connections required on the tractor.
We recommend the tractor's hydraulic output flow is 25-35 l/min.
Depth control
We recommend that the tractor's depth control be initially set accord
-
ing to the following table. The exact settings are determined by the soil
and field conditions.
Wheel distance
•
The tractor's inner wheel distance with which the plough can be
used is from 110-160 cm.
•
The distance between the front wheels must be 0 to 10 cm wider.
•
The turning mechanism has a bracket which can be mounted on
the plough in two ways, depending on the rear wheel distance.
Tyre pressure
To avoid uneven furrows, the air pressure must be equal on both rear
tyres of the tractor.
Front weights
> Add sufficient front end weights to ensure safe driving.
