Page 29: Hitching To The Implement
HITCHING TO THE IMPLEMENT ! IMPORTANT ! WARRANTY NOTE: Use of articulated four-wheel drive or track tractors with 3 point lift im- plements voids the warranty on the toolbar main frame. Sudden turns or steering corrections made by these types of tractors, when the implement is in the ground, can exert extreme forces through the implement’s frame and/or shank components and cause unwarranted fatigue/failure. -

Page 36: Implement Preparation Ripper Shank Tools
IMPLEMENT PREPARATION Ripper Shank Tools Tripped Shank Clearances It is common practice to mount aftermarket equipment on a KMC toolbar, such as fertilizer tanks or aftermarket row markers. It is critical that all aftermarket equipment is located properly on the toolbar so that it will not interfere with the reset mechanism on the ripper shanks. -
Page 37: Toggle Trip Shank
Toggle Trip Shank The Toggle Trip ripper shank is designed to trip when the shank encounters an immovable obstacle. The trip link will flex causing the center pin to rise and the shank to pivot vertically rearward, up and over the obstacle. To reset the Toggle Trip ripper shank, the toolbar should be lifted until the ripper points on all shanks are above the ground. -
Page 38: Depth Of Penetration
Depth of Penetration The purpose of a deep tillage tool is to fracture the compacted layer of soil beneath the surface known as the hardpan. The hardpan, usually only a couple inches thick, prevents plant roots from reaching moisture and nutrients below. The deep tillage tool is designed to run 1”-2”... -
Page 39: Front Coulter Adjustment
Front Coulter Adjustment Front coulters are set at the factory to be directly aligned with the ripper shanks. This is important for smooth residue flow around the shank. If the coulter is not properly aligned, loosen the 3/4in hardware on the U-bolt and slide the mount bracket over until the coulter is aligned. Retighten according to the torque specification chart in the “General”... -
Page 40: Cover Crop Roller Adjustment
Cover Crop Roller Adjustments The height of the Cover Crop Roller (CCR) is determined by the position of the 7/8in adjustment bolt. To adjust the height of the CCR, pull the shanks into the soil until the weight of the roller is supported by the ground. -
Page 41: Spiked Roller Adjustment
Spiked Roller Adjustments The spiked roller on the back of the Subsoiler Leveler is used to gauge the working depth of the shank. Any adjustments done to the height of the spiked roller will directly affect the depth at which the shank penetrates the ground. -
