INTRODUCTION: The Kongskilde 300 FL - Finger Tine Harrow Attachment has been developed as a optional pre-levelling attachment for Kongskilde 300 Series Double Rota-Harrows. When properly adjusted, the 300 FL Harrow Attachment will help to divide the flow of soil from the back row of tines, thus reducing the ridges that form in front of the double rota harrows.
Mounting Brackets: With the Double Rota-Harrows fully assembled and the cultivator laid out on a flat level area, begin by selecting the locations for the mounting brackets on the front roller frame tube. The location of the mounting brackets will vary from roller to roller depending on the position of the roller harrow hanger arms and tine locations.
After securing the mounting brackets, match the toolbar length to the roller section and attach the toolbars to the mounting brackets with the wire tine clamps provided. The toolbars can be shifted a few inches to the right or left of centre as required for correct mounting of the FL finger tines.
FIELD SETTINGS: NOTE: There are many factors that can affect the ability of the harrows to level the soil surface behind the cultivator; Cultivator tine spacing, type of shares (sweeps), cultivating depth, ground speed, direction of travel across the field (angle), soil type, and soil conditions like moisture content and crop residue levels, all have an affect on the quality and levelness of the seed bed.

The angle of the FL tines can be adjusted to 4 different positions. The steeper the angle - the more aggressive the tine action becomes. Selection of the working angle will again depend on the soil type and the amount of crop residue left on the soil from the previous years harvest. Field testing has shown that in most cases the best working angle for the FL tines is when the stop block is located in position 4.
ADJUSTMENTS / PRECAUTIONS: When the assembly of the harrows has been completed check to make sure that the complete assembly appears evenly spaced and centred across the back of the cultivator. If the harrow assembly is not centred you may have to shift the harrow sections as required. Improper centring of the harrows may cause the cultivator to pull crooked in the field.
MAINTENANCE: Periodically check all nuts and bolts and secure if loose. Lubricate the G-bearings after every 12 hours of operation. DO NOT OVER GREASE THE G-BEARING: Over greasing may cause damage to the bearing seals. Periodically check and remove any foreign material that may become wound around the FL tines, rollers or bearings and remove any objects (ie: stones) that have become trapped in the rollers.
