The MaxiDisc must be adjusted to operate in a perfectly level and horizontal
position, both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of travel, to obtain
level and uniform field finishing.
Hydraulic depth adjustment
If the packer roller sections are not working at the same depth, it is necessary
to reset the cylinders by moving them to the fully extended position and then
returning to the original starting depth.
Angle
The angle of the discs can be continuously adjusted hydraulically during oper-
ation, enabling the operator to obtain the optimal setting according to field
conditions. If there are many patches of plant residue on the field, the angle
can quickly be reduced to avoid blockage. The angle can also be reduced if the
need for pulling force becomes too great.
Travel Speed
A working speed between 8-15 km/hour is recommended, but always drive
according to conditions.
When travel speed is increased, wear on the implement is increased, especial-
ly under dry soil conditions. Damage to the discs and T-rings may also result
from driving too fast under unfavourable conditions.
Power requirements
Power requirements change according to soil type, terrain and travel speed.

The penetration depth can be freely
adjusted during operation. Adjust
the depth by using the indicator (A)
as a guide.
