Never allow anyone to ride on the Chisel Plow at
any time. Allowing a person to ride on the
machine can inflict serious personal injury or
death to that person.
When transporting farm implements on public
roads, it is the responsibility of the operator to
abide by state and local laws concerning wide
loads, speed, safety emblems and safety lighting
equipment. Drive at safe speeds, particularly
when rounding corners, crossing rough ground
or driving on hillsides, to prevent tipping the
tractor.
NOTE
This chapter will cover the basic operation and
procedures for the Landoll Brillion Chisel Plow. Be sure to
read and understand the Safety Procedures and
Cautions starting on Page 1-1.
General
• The chisel plow loosens the soil to the desired depth,
allowing water penetration into the soil. During the
winter, the ground will freeze deeper and "weather
out" much faster.
• Chisel plowing leaves a mulch and residue cover on
the surface, preventing soil surface sealing. Water
will be absorbed quickly into the soil, reducing runoff,
evaporation and soil erosion. The residue cover also
reduces wind erosion.
Operating Tips
• To retard downhill water movement on slopes, start at
the bottom of the slope and work upwards, parallel to
the bottom.
• Chisel the field at an angle to the rows to break up
the ridges.
DANGER
CAUTION
Operating Speed
• The chisel works best when operated at a relatively
fast speed; 5 mph or faster. If field conditions are
adverse, operate at a slower speed to reduce the
possibility of implement damage.
• If field conditions are too rough to operate at high
speed at the desired depth, make two passes at an
angle to each other. Make the first pass shallower
than the second pass.
NOTE
Before operating your Brillion machine, check all
hardware for tightness. Use the Tightening Torque Table
in Chapter 4 as a guide. See Page 4-1.
Tractor Preparation
The Chisel Plow may be used on tractors equipped with
category 2 and 3 Free Link or 2,3 and 3N Quick Coupler
3 Point Hitches. Before attaching the Chisel Plow,
prepare the tractor as follows:
a. The rear tractor tires should be inflated equally
and ballast added according to the tractor
operator's manual.
b. For mounted type models, install front end
weights as needed on tractor to maintain stability.
Do not move tractor without making sure top
hitch is connected to tractor.
Attaching to Three-Point Hitch
1. Carefully back the tractor into place.
2. Attach the Chisel Plow to the tractor.
