OPERATION
Be sure planter frame is LEVEL and at the height stated in the planter operation manual.
The
Residue Manager is designed to work in heavy residue situations especially where
minimum soil movement is required. Depending on conditions and objectives, the 2967 Residue
Manager can be set shallow with the teeth only engaged in the residue so as to clear heavy
residue with minimal soil disturbance. Residue Managers are not recommended when surface
application pre-plant herbicide is used prior to planting
.
ROW CLEANER DO’S AND DON’TS
1. DO NOT move soil, Residue Managers are designed to move crop residue only.
2.
DO NOT operate planter at slow speeds, ground speed affects how aggressive the spoke
wheels are; operate at sufficient speed to maintain good residue flow.
3.
DO NOT expect 100% of crop residue to be cleared, it is not necessary and would necessitate
engaging the soil. The width of path cleared depends on ground conditions, depth setting
and ground speed.
4.
DO expect to see wheels occasionally quit turning, indicates ideal (shallow) setting which is
not moving dirt.
5.
DO expect the potential to bend or break teeth on wheels in excessively rocky conditions.
6.
DO
adjust planter frame height 20”-22” and level drawbar correctly. Very important to ensure
planter unit will follow ground contours properly.
7.
DO adjust planter row unit down pressure kit correctly to prevent excessive depth.
8.
DO expect finely tilled/soft soils to require adjustment due to lack of resistance, the wheel
must turn to move residue.
9.
DO expect more adjustments to be required in finely tilled or soft soils. In these conditions,
the planter may lose flotation requiring adjustment of the residue manager to shallower
positions.
