Field Operation; Hitch Adjustment (Used To Limit Soil Pushing) - Landoll Brillion X108 Operator's Manual

Field Operation

Once the folding pulverizer has been transported to the field, unfold the wings completely. Reversing the hydraulic
level should allow the pair of compression springs to push transport lock up with automatic transport lock. After
this the implenent may be completely lowered. With manual transport lock reverse the hydraulic lever to allow
manual removal of cylinder transport lock.
During field operation, it is not necessary to raise the machine for turns, but turns should be as wide as possible.
Slow down when operating on rocky soil.

Hitch Adjustment (Used to Limit Soil Pushing)

The pulverizer drawbar can pivot vertically in field operation. The placenent of shims must be identical on both
sides of pulverizer. See figure below for position of drawbar shims.
If the pulverizer continues to push soil, a 6J-194 manual valve kit can be added to hold the wings up at a preset
height. See setup instructions for installation. Raise wings to the desired height with tractor hydraulics and shut off
the valve. This allows some weight of the pulverizer wings to be transferred to the transport wheels, without the
hydraulic system raising the wings. With the tractor hydraulics being used to raise or lower the pulverizer the out-
side end of the wings and the center frame will all raise or lower uniformly the same distance. The valve will have
to be opened to fold wings. When center section is raised slightly tire tracks of pulverizer will be left in the field.
Wing can float up with valve closed.
