  • Page 8 B. COULTER FUNCTION This model is equipped with five separate coulters. The coulters serve as cutting blades and are meant for light debris cutting, ground scoring for better ground shatter and aiding in reducing clod size. If the debris is not cut the shanks tend to collect debris and act as a rake. This in turn will prevent normal operation.
  • Page 9 D. ADJUSTING THE SHANKS AND COULTER SHANKS – Refer to Figure 4. The shanks and coulter shanks have been designed for quick adjustments. Both removal or maximum depth adjust changes can be made very quickly. The shanks can be set at a maximum depth of 2”, 4”...
  • Page 10 Heavy Debris Covered Ground It is recommended these conditions be mowed first if possible to help chop up the debris. In heavy debris covered conditions, additional weight is recommended to help the coulters penetrate and cut debris. This tillage tool has been equipped with weight racks. These weight racks will easily allow for several hundred pounds to be added to the tool.
  • Page 11 Rock Covered Ground In most cases reversible point chisel sweeps will have the best chance of working in heavily rock covered ground on the initial pass. These sweeps will provide the least resistance. It may be necessary to raise or remove the coulters. If the coulters are being forced out of the ground due to rocks, it may be difficult to get adequate sweep penetration.
