till coulter , is mounted directly ahead of each
opener on the drill. The coulters cut through heavy trash
and make a groove in the soil for the openers. The
coulters are mounted on the drill frame so coulter cutting
depth changes as the drill is raised and lowered.
To set drill seeding depth, you must:
1. Set coulter depth by raising or lowering the front
drive wheel (see below).
2. Check front

3. Set opener depth with T

handles on press wheels
(page 37).
4. If soil conditions make it necessary, increase coulter
down pressure by adding weights (page 32).
Coulters normally operate fully down against their stops,
with the coulter springs compressing only occasionally
as the blades encounter obstructions.
If necessary, adjust individual coulters or openers to run
deeper for tire tracks, refer to “
The amount of coulter down force needed to cut a soil
groove varies with soil conditions. Adding weight or
shortening the coulter spring increases coulter down
pressure and cutting force.
Coulter Depth (All Rows)
Refer to Figure 15
Raise or lower drive wheels, by relocating axles, to
achieve proper coulter depth.
• Raising wheels sets coulters deeper.
• Lowering wheels sets coulters shallower.
Note: Factory default setting is hole .
Note: Do not lower coulters to aid in penetrating hard soil.
Instead, increase coulter down pressure by adding
weight to drill. See “
Set both left and right ground drive axles identically.
Normal practice is to set coulter depth approximately 1 inch
deeper than desired seed depth.
