OPERATION
3. For tractors equipped with Quick Hitches:
a. Attach quick hitch to the Chisel Plow
b. Raise and make sure lower pin locks are
secured.
c. Raise the parking stand and pin in fully up
position.
d. When disconnecting the Chisel Plow, adjust
stands to leave the toolbar tilted slightly forward.
This will permit easier disconnecting and
reattaching.
4. For tractors not equipped with Quick Hitch:
a. Attach lower lift arms of the tractor to the Chisel
Plow utilizing appropriate pins. Chisel Plow
models come with either Category II & III or III
NARROW hitches.
b. Attach top link after connecting lower lift arms.
Raise parking stands into clamps or remove.
When disconnecting, place stand so that the
Chisel Plow is stable.
5. Reinstall the stabilizer bars or sway blocks before
transporting.
6. Plug in the 7 pin connector for the lights.
a. Make sure the tractor has a good clean
receptacle, free of dirt and corrosion.
b. Make sure the 7-pin connector is inserted ALL
the way in. With tighter fitting pins, operator may
think the connector is all the way in, but really
isn't.
c. Make sure the tractor receptacle cover latches
over the keyway on the 7-pin connector to hold
the connector in place.
d. If an operator plugs in the 7-pin connector, but
the lights do not seem to work right, check the
above items to make sure there is a good
connection with the 7-pin connector.
Field Operation - Three Point Hitch
Type
1. Lower the Chisel Plow to the ground and pull it a few
feet at the approximate desired depth.
2. Check for front-to-rear levelness. Level the frame by
adjusting the three-point hitch top link until the frame
is level to the ground.

3.
a. Set shank depth by adjusting the max depth stop
on the 3-Point Control in the tractor.
b. Set shank depth by adjusting both Optional
Gauge Wheels the same direction from the
bottom of the tire to the tip of the Shank, which is
the approximate working depth of the Shank.
Loosen the 5/8-11 x 3 Bolts without removing the
Nuts and raise or lower the Gauge Wheels to the
desired depth. Tighten all hardware to the
recommended torques and check periodically for
looseness. See Page 4-1.
4. Always lift the Chisel Plow completely out of the
ground before turning or backing to prevent shank or
coulter damage or damage to their respective
mounting brackets.
5. Reduce speed at field ends, raise the Chisel Plow out
of the ground.
6. After a few hours of initial operation, check all
hardware for tightness. Tighten any loose Hardware.
Spring Shank Tension Adjustment
For normal operation, the Lock Nuts on the Spring
mounting should be tightened so that one inch of thread
is exposed. See Figure 3-1.
In tougher soil you may want to increase the Spring
tension or compress the spring more. Keep in mind that
when this is done, the shank and tooth will not pass over
as great of obstruction.
