Page 7: Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION The plough is designed only for “Conventional ploughing”, and for transport between the farm and the different fields. MT ploughs that are equipped with a hydraulic stone trip system can be used for all types of soil. -

Page 9: Safety Regulations
1. INTRODUCTION SAFETY REGULATIONS READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. You should read the instruction manual before you change any settings or start using the plough. The plough is designed and manufactured with as many safety features as possible, but we cannot foresee all possible circumstances that can involve safety hazards with this machine. - Page 10 1. INTRODUCTION Be alert Ensure that no person is on, underneath or in the hazardous area of the plough during transport, ploughing or when maneuvering the plough. Never work under a lifted plough! Use the support leg Always use the support leg when the plough is parked. Park the plough on level firm surface. Do not allow passengers Do not allow anyone to ride on the implement when it is being transported or while in operation.
- Page 11 1. INTRODUCTION Do the maintenance regularly Do the maintenance work regularly as it is described in this manual, section 6 MAINTENANCE. Replace wearing parts as described. There is a risk of poor performance if the machine not is maintained properly. Retighten all nuts and bolts Always remember to retighten all nuts and bolts after about 3 hours of use.
- Page 12 1. INTRODUCTION WARNING DECALS Explanations 4165 99101 00 Read the manual! Carefully read the instructions and observe all safety instructions before you connect the machine to the tractor. 4165 98301 00 Warning hazardous area! It is not allowed to be within the hazardous area, on, under or close to the machine during transport driving or operation.

Page 13: Technical Description
2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION CHECKING THE TRACTOR PRIOR TO PLOUGHING TRACTOR SIZE The tractor must have an appropriate size to operate the plough safely! Make sure that at least 20% of the tractor`s weight is loaded onto the front axle. kg 20% FUNCTION OF THE THREE-POINT HITCH The design of the three-point linkage is based on the principle that the tractor and the plough... - Page 14 2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The following track widths are recommended: 1200 - 1500 mm Ideal track width = 3 x the furrow width + 100-150 mm (Example: 16” furrow width 3 x 400 + 125 = 1325 mm). When ploughing with “wide tyres” the outside walls of the front and the rear tyres should be parallel.

Page 15: Preparation Of The Plough
2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION PREPARATION OF THE PLOUGH Check that the quick-couplings on the hydraulic hoses are the same type as the quick- couplings on the tractor. If required, fit the correct quick-couplings, to suit your tractor. Check that the cross-shaft on the plough has the correct category to suit your tractor. Cross shafts are available in different categories: Cat. -
Page 16: Checking The Plough
2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION CHECKING THE PLOUGH • Check the tightness of all bolts and nuts • Grease all lubrication points • Check the tyre pressure and adjust if necessary. See chapter 6. MAINTENANCE, TYRE PRESSURE • Check that the desired furrow width is correctly set, see chapter 3. BASIC SETTINGS, FIRST FURROW WIDTH. -
Page 17: Basic Settings
3. BASIC SETTINGS 3. BASIC SETTINGS BASIC SETTINGS OF THE PLOUGH The basic setting can be started when the desired ploughing depth has been reached and when the tractor wheels are running in a furrow with the same depth. 1. VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT The beams should be at right angle (90 °) to the ground. - Page 18 3. BASIC SETTINGS 3. FIRST FURROW WIDTH Ensure that the lower links are loose so the plough can move freely. For ploughs equipped with a hydraulic control of the first furrow width, the following applies: Place the hydraulic cylinder in a central position so that it can be adjusted in both directions. Check that the cross-shaft has the correct angle adjustment, see section 3.
-
Page 19: Disc Coulters
3. BASIC SETTINGS DISC COULTERS The purpose of the disc coulters is to make a vertical cut, separating the furrow slices. There are two types of disc coulters, fixed and spring loaded. When ploughing in stony or very heavy soils, the springloaded type of disc coulter should be used. This is to protect the coulters and to ensure that they do not act like a support wheel, carrying the plough, which would prevent it from maintaining a correct ploughing depth. -
Page 20: Adjustment / Setting Of Skimming Devices
3. BASIC SETTINGS ADJUSTMENT / SETTING OF SKIMMING DEVICES The basic purpose of the skimming devices is to cut off and turn down a corner of the surface layer with crop residues and weeds so that these are well buried. Properly used skimming devices give the best mechanical weed control. - Page 21 3. BASIC SETTINGS BASIC SETTING OF SKIMMERS (for 20 cm plough depth) Shear bolt protection Hydraulic stone trip Hydraulic stone trip system The mounting position of the skimmer bracket on the beam is the same if the plough is equipped with fin coulters or disc coulters. The skimmer bracket is mounted in the rear hole as standard.

3. BASIC SETTINGS TROUBLESHOOTING - PLOUGHING The following common faults produce poor ploughing results, giving higher running costs and causing unnecessary wear on both the tractor and plough. Problem Reason Checklist Tractor pulls to Plough incorrectly adjusted Correct the plough adjustments, see one side and basic settings: must be steered... -
Page 23: Adjustment Of Working Width
3. BASIC SETTINGS ADJUSTMENT OF WORKING WIDTH The ploughs are assembled as standard on 16” working width. 1. Alternating the beam housing position Each plough body component can swivel around the front bolt in the beam housing D. By placing rear bolt in one of the tree different positions A, B or C you will alter the working (furrow) width. - Page 24 3. BASIC SETTINGS 3. Land wheel The angle of the land wheel must be adjusted so that it runs parallel with the landside of the last plough body. This is adjusted by altering the position of the wheel bracket, by placing rear bolt F in one of the three different positions, see section 3 ADJUSTMENT OF WORKING WIDTH, ALTERNATING THE BEAM HOUSING POSITION.

Page 25: Stone Trip Systems
4. STONE TRIP SYSTEMS 4. STONE TRIP SYSTEMS To protect the plough and tractor, all ploughs are equipped with a stone trip system. SHEAR BOLT PROTECTION All (fixed beam) ploughs are protected by a shear bolt in each leg (part no. 4165 91399 00). NOTE: Always ensure that the correct grade of bolt is used for replacement. -
Page 26: Adjustment Of Operating Pressure
4. STONE TRIP SYSTEMS The precharge pressure in the accumulator is 11 Mpa (110 bar). The working pressure (oil pressure) is shown by the pressure gauge and should be at least 10% higher than the precharge gas pressure. Working pressure should be between: 12,5 - 14 MPa (125-140 bar). Rule: The working pressure should not be adjusted higher than that the bodies keep their correct positions during ploughing and do not trip solely because of soil resistance. -
Page 27: Checking The Accumulator
Should the pressure fall by more than 2 MPa (20 bar) below the precharge pressure specified on the accumulator, contact your local Kongskilde dealer for advice. Never tamper with the gas filling valve. Never attempt to disconnect a hydraulic connection while the system is pressureized. -

5. DRIVING A CONVENTIONAL PLOUGH 5. DRIVING A CONVENTIONAL PLOUGH Road transport: Always remember that a relatively considerable weight is resting on the rear axle of the tractor. To ensure that the tractor retains its steering properties, fit front weights as required. Driving speeds, Adapt driving speed to the road conditions so that the plough does not transport:... - Page 29 5. DRIVING A CONVENTIONAL PLOUGH Drive Straight! Crooked furrows impose high stress on both tractor and plough, and contribute to an unsatisfactory result due to poor matching. Consequently, the furrows should be straightened as quickly as possible. Select the correct furrow width The working width must always be proportional to the ploughing depth, i.e.

6. CARE, MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT OF WEARING PARTS PARALLELISM AND G-MEASUREMENT OF THE MOULDBOARDS Check the working angle of the mouldboard. The normal position is measured on the rear plough body between the extended inside line of the landside, horizontally out against the outermost hole in the mouldboard, see measurement G. -
Page 32: Tightening The Bolts
6. CARE, MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT OF WEARING PARTS TIGHTENING THE BOLTS Bolts of quality 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9 are used on the ploughs. When replacing these bolts, ensure that the same quality bolts and nuts are used. It is easier to tighten bolts and nuts to the correct tightening torque, if they are lubricated with oil. -
