the parking brake on the tractor and engage the
tractor. Begin pulling unit to desired depth. Turn
off tractor, remove key, and engage the parking
brake before dismounting the tractor. Replace
the pin (Ref. 4, Photo 3) in the depth control bar
through the nearest hole (Ref. 2, Photo 3) to the
depth control bar stop. Once again, it is very
important to have the transport wheels in con-
tact with the ground and have some pressure
on them for the leveling system to make a level
pass and prevent ridging.
STEP 4: SET DISKING SPEED
The recommended operating speed for the
MVT vertical tilliage unit is 6-10 MPH.
STEP 5: ADJUST GANG ANGLE IF NEEDED
Once the initial setup steps are finished, if a
deeper penetration is desired, increase the
front & rear gang angles. If a smoother soil pro-
file is desired, decrease the front & rear gang
angles. Each trial run should be made with the
tractor in the same gear and approximately the
same RPM. Keep in mind that many variables
Operation 24
affect the operation of your tillage tool. These
include, but are not limited to penetration,
speed, soil conditions, etc. Any changes in any
one of these could cause a requirement for fur-
ther adjustments.
Observe the soil behind the unit. It should be
level and smooth. If the unit leaves a water fur-
row in the center, and you've verified that the
unit is set level, the transport tires have some
weight on them and your operating speed is
between 6 and 10 mph, this would indicate that
the front gangs are more aggressive than the
rear gangs. To correct this, either increase the
angle of the rear gangs or decrease the angle
of the front gangs. Conversely, if the unit is ridg-
ing, that is leaving a ridge behind it, this would
indicate that the rear gangs are more aggres-
sive than the front gangs. To correct this, either
decrease the angle of the rear gangs or increase
the angle of the front gangs.
TRANSPORTATION AND
LOCK OUT
•
Always comply with all state and local laws
governing highway safety and lighting and
marking requirements.
• Do not exceed this implements transport
speed of 20 mph (32 kmh). Exceeding this
speed may cause loss of control during trans-
port or braking and serious injury or death.
•
Transport only with a properly ballasted tractor
and a properly attached safety tow chain.
•
Do not transport with a motor vehicle.
The MVT comes equiped with a RED transport
lock out device. It is shipped to the dealer in trans-
port lock out position from the factory. (Ref. 1,
Photo 4). Storage for the transport is located on
the rocker arm assembly (Photo 5).
