Standard Tubular Mount Chopper
Reel Installation (Option)
1. Slide chopper reel arm assemblies over rear frame
bar using chopper reel placement drawings (See
Figures 2-17, 2-18, 2-19, and 3-26.)
2. Attach top plate to top of chopper reel arm assembly
using (6) 3/4-10 x 12 hex head cap screws. Slide arm
support tube and bottom plate onto 12" hex head cap
screws on underside of chopper reel arm assembly
and rear frame.
3. Evenly tighten the (4) 3/4-10 x 12 hex head cap
screws marked in Figure 3-26 first. Then tighten the
front 3/4-10 x 2 hex head cap screw. Lastly, tighten
the two remaining 3/4-10 x 12 hex head cap screws
last, but be sure to NOT overtighten. These screws
need to be snug.
4. Adjust spring to 20-1/2" (See Figure 3-28.)
5. Attach reel/gang bar assemblies to chopper reel arm
assemblies using placement drawings (See
Figures 2-17, 2-18, 2-19, and 3-26.)
6. Bolt in place using gang bar mount plate, 3/4-10 x 6
hex head cap screws, and hex lock nuts.
7. If unfavorable conditions exist or the chopper reel is
not needed, the arm can be raised and pinned into a
higher position creating little or no disturbance of the
soil with the chopper reel (See Figure 3-27.)
NOTE
Hydraulic chopper reels do not have pins. They are held
up by hydraulic cylinders.
