Operation General Guidelines The results obtained from the Morris Contour Drill are directly related to the depth uniformity of the unit. Worn points, uneven tire pressures, and bent shanks must be avoided to obtain optimum field results. • Operating depth should be uniform at all opener locations, when spot checking the implement in the field.
