When properly adjusted the Harrow will help to prepare a level surface for planting in various field conditions and soil types. To achieve this, the 300FS Harrow combines a 3-Bar Flex Drag-Spike Harrow with a Single Offset Spiral Bar Rota Harrow. -
Page 3: Pre Assembly Tips
PRE ASSEMBLY TIPS: Prior to assembling the Combi Harrows, the cultivator should be carefully unfolded and lowered to the ground, (resting on the tines), on a flat level area. Combi Harrows are really two separate harrow systems that share a common hanger arm and should therefore be assembled in three stages: 1) Assemble the 3 Bar Drag Harrows and position behind the machine. -

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: Working Angle of 3-Bar Drag Harrow As an added feature, the straight and offset joiner links of the 3 bar drag sections have been double sheared on one end with two different angle cuts. This gives you the opportunity to set the spikes bars to run at a shallow angle of about 30°... - Page 5 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: Drag Harrow Sections Before starting, be sure you have the correct quantity and size of drag harrow bundles and spiral bar rollers for the machine that is being assembled. The size combinations and mounting location for each machine are shown in the harrow layout booklet provided for each model of cultivator. Each harrow section may be assembled separately and then positioned behind the cultivator.
- Page 6 Note: On some cultivator models you will need to mount a special extension to the ends of the spike bars. Mark the locations for the bolt holes, or clampthe extensions to the spike bar and use them as a guide for drilling. Secure with bolts and locknuts supplied. See detail below. Mount the carrier arms to the rear toolbar of the cultivator centre section with the 5/8"...
- Page 7 The pull chains are connected to a slot in the bottom of the harrow mounting bracket. Connect the pull chains to the draw brackets by inserting one of the chain links thru the slot in the bracket and securing with the lynch pin provided. The length of the pull chains may be adjusted as required to obtain optimal levelling and grooming of the soil surface.

Page 8: Spiral Bar Rota-Harrows Assembly
Assembling and Mounting the Spiral Bar Rollers: After completing the assembly of the drag harrow sections and all sections have been mounted to the hanger arms, start assembling the components for the rota harrows. Once again, begin with the centre section and move out to the wings. Springs: The Harrow Arms and Spring Assemblies for the rollers are pre-assembled at the factory. - Page 9 Hanger Arms: For all High Tine machines, align a wear bushing with hole (B) in the mounting bracket and secure with 1/2" x 4-1/2" bolt and locknut as shown below. This will allow the proper ground clear- ance for the harrow when the cultivator is raised for road transport. Hole (B2) may be used in cases where it is necessary to provide a higher transport position for the rota-harrow, or when the cultivator is equipped with Standard S-tines.
- Page 10 Rollers and Assembly: When assembling the Spiral Bar Rota-Harrows it is important to note that there are left and right hand rollers. These are identified by a decal on the roller assemblies. If the decal is missing the rollers can be identified by looking at them from the end. The Left rollers have the spiral bar turning to the Left and the Right roller spiral bars turn to the Right.
- Page 11 Assembly of Rollers to Hangers: When assembling the rollers to the arms, the Left roller is always mounted to the front (or short) hanger arms and the Right roller is always mounted to the rear (or long) hanger arm. This insures that the soil contacting the rota harrows is moved completely in both directions to provide optimal levelling.

Page 12: Adjustments / Precautions
Mount the rollers to the arms with the mounting plates and 1/2" x 3-1/2" bolts and locknuts provided. Be sure to butt the roller frames tight against the end of the hanger arms before tightening the locknuts. See diagram below. ADJUSTMENTS / PRECAUTIONS: When the assembly of the harrows has been completed check to make sure that the complete assembly appears evenly spaced and centred across the back of the cultivator. -
Page 13: Field Settings
FIELD SETTINGS: The 3 Bar Flex Drag Spike with Single Spiral Roller “Combi Harrows” were initially designed to work as a levelling harrow in high residue conditions without the adverse effects of other similar type har- rows available on the market, (specifically bunching and dumping of residue). Testing has demonstrated that in some field conditions and soil types a more aggressive working angle on the spikes has improved the breaking ability of the harrow with respect to clods and lumps. - Page 14 NOTE: There are many factors that can affect the ability of the harrows to level or even out the soil surface behind the cultivator; Cultivator tine spacing, type of shares (sweeps), cultivating depth, ground speed, direction of travel across the field (angle), soil type, and soil conditions like moisture content and crop residue levels, all have an affect on the quality and levelness of the seed bed.

Page 15: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE: Periodically check all nuts and bolts and secure if loose. Lubricate the G-bearings after every 12 hours of operation. DO NOT OVER GREASE THE G-BEARING: Over greasing may cause damage to the bearing seals. Periodically check and remove any foreign material that may become tangled in the harrow sections or wound around the rollers or bearings. - Page 16 PRINTED IN CANADA 660 005 006 JAN 2006...
