The higher the feeler wheels are moved up in the frame, the smaller the distance between the frame and the ground and the steeper the position of the tine ends relative to the ground will be. To adjust all of the feeler wheels, including those at the rear, to the same height, the same number of holes must be visible above the bracket.
Hydraulic tine adjustment The tines are adjusted with one hydraulic cylinder (VS 150 M1) or with two hydraulic cylinders connected in parallel (VS 300 M1). With hydraulic tine adjustment tine pre-tension can be adjusted while driving. All hydraulic cylinders (Figure 9) are integrated in an oil circuit.
4) The pivoting feeler wheels to be used are inserted into the brackets. 5) When all of the pivoting feeler wheels are mounted at the desired positions, the Tined Weeder Pro can be safely parked and uncoupled from the tractor as described in chapter 7.2. 6) In the next step, the headstock is dismounted.
Lubricate all lubrication points after cleaning, and uniformly distribute the lubricant in the bearing points (e.g. perform a brief test run). Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to clean bearing parts and hydraulic parts. Cleaning with excessive pressure can damage the paint. ...

Information on nature conservation and environmental protection Reduction of noise exposure in use Any loose parts (such as chains) should be fastened to avoid unnecessary noise. Energy-efficient use The tines of the Tined Weeder Pro should not penetrate any deeper into the soil than is necessary. This ensures that the load on the towing vehicle is no greater than the load that is strictly necessary and fuel can be saved.

Accessories Tines with a carbide coating To reduce tine wear, the VS 150 M1 / VS 300 M1 can be equipped with tines that have soldered-on carbide coating. Endurance tests show that these tines wear much more slowly. This considerably extends the service life of the tines before necessary replacement.
