5.0 GROUNDSPEED
The forward speed during work, should be limited till 15 km/hour ( 9.4 mph). Faster is not allowed. The
faster we go, the less time a knife has for penetration. So working slower may give a better result in the
end. This depends on the soil as well.
@ Make only straight passes with a 3-point linkage model.
@ The unit can be lowered into the ground and raised without stopping the tractor.
* Be aware that the rotor may continue to run when raised during forward motion. Don’t come close to
the machine, but drop it first in the ground to stop
6.0 GENERAL USAGE OF THE LEVEL-SPIKE
The LEVEL-SPIKE can only be used when the circumstances are right. Check the following items:
1. Are there any loose objects on the field. If so, these must be removed first.
2. Are there any slopes. The maximum slope for the LEVEL-SPIKE is 20 degrees. Always operate the
LEVEL-SPIKE from the top to the bottom of a slope.
3. Are there any pipes/wires/cables in the ground. If so, ascertain at what depth and set the working
depth at a maximum of 60% of the pipe etc. depth.
4. Are there any hard objects in the ground. If so, operate the LEVEL-SPIKE with a very low speed, or
adjust working depth.
5. Is there any danger of flying objects such as golf balls, which could distract the attention of the
driver ? If so, the LEVEL-SPIKE can not be operated at that moment.
6. Is there any danger of subsidence or land/mud slides ? If so, the LEVEL-SPIKE cannot be operated
on the field at that moment.
7. Is the ground frozen or very wet. Postpone operation till circumstances are better.
