Preparing for operation
This chapter will guide you through the preparations that must be
made on the plow and tractor before you start operating the plow.
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 (6.6-
9.2 gpm).
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 plow can be used
is from 110-160 cm (43-63 inches).
•
The distance between the front wheels must be 0 to 10 cm (0 to 4
inches) wider.

Take the wheel distance into account when ordering the plow so that
the slide can be fitted correctly.
