Adjustments 8.2.2 Adjusting the throughput of the disc gangs Workshop work The throughput is adjusted by turning the front and rear disc gang using the spindles. When the disc gangs are raised as far as they go, the tines can work at a depth of 30 cm with- out the disc array being engaged.
Adjustments Adjusting the working depth of the coulters With the depth adjustment of the coulters, the working depth of the disc array and the levelling unit are also adjusted. The adjustment is carried out via: • the roller • the drawbar / tractor lower link (horizontal alignment of the im- plement) With the roller removed: Use the running gear to adjust the working depth (yellow tractor control unit), see page 90.
Adjustments Adjust the working depth via the spindle length, see page 82. Carry out the adjustment when the implement is lifted. • Lengthen spindle → Reduces the working depth. • Shorten spindle → Increases the working depth. Adjust the spindles to the same length. 8.3.1 Aligning the implement horizontally in working position.
Adjustments Setting the working depth of the levelling unit If the levelling unit leaves furrows behind the roller: → Working depth of the levelling unit is too deep If the tines leave furrows behind the roller: → Working depth of the levelling unit is too shallow.
