  • Page 14: Driving Speed

    DRIVING SPEED The pitch in the driving direction depends on the driving speed. When a small pitch is desired, the driving speed must be sufficiently low, which depends on the tractor or the Verti- Power. The rpm input of the PTO may not exceed 540 rpm. If hard objects are expected, this speed must be lowered.

  • Page 25: Options, Tines

    16.0 OPTIONS, TINES Tines are essential for the correct functioning of the machine. There are several different tines available for this machine, see the parts pages for a complete overview. Generally speaking, the tines can be divided into two categories: solid and hollow tines. We advise to only use original tines, because they are completely adapted to the machine.

  • Page 26: Hollow Tines

    Always use tines with similar diameter and length. Replace a bent tine immediately. If this doesn’t happen, the machine can become unstable. Do not use thicker and/or longer tines than supplied by us. Shorter (worn down) tines can be used when superficial poking is desired. Make sure that the working depth indicated on the sticker is only correct when the maximum length of the tine is used.
