OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
3BCT/Chopper Reel Adjustments
1. The optional 3BCT/ chopper reel attachment consists
of a tine harrow and reel assembly that operate
independently from each other.
2. The reel assemblies may have either a standard
spring assembly arm or spring assembly/ hydraulic
arm option.
Know and verify actual implement height and
width before transporting. Attachments may
increase the overall height and width of the
implement. Use caution when transporting near
power lines. Electrocution can occur without
direct contact.
3. The coil tine harrow should run level with the coulter
chisel frame. If this needs adjusted, remove the 1/2 x
1-1/4 rd head sq neck screws and rotate tine
assembly to level, re-install screws and nuts. When
operating the coil tine harrow, a more vertical tine
tooth angle will make the harrow more aggressive. A
lower/flatter tine angle will make the harrow less
aggressive but will handle more residue and wetter
conditions. To change the tine angle, raise the harrow
off the ground. Remove the harrow pin from both
angle adjustment tubes per tine gang bar tube
Figures
4-16. Rotate the angle adjustment tubes
forward (less aggressive) or rearward (more
aggressive) and reinstall both spring clip pins.
Repeat the tine adjustment for each tine gang bar
tube and harrow section. Each row can be adjusted
as needed, all threerows do not need to be set at the
same tine angle.

WARNING
4. To adjust the height of the tine harrow assemblies
remove the 3/16 dia pin, 1 x 7-5/16 pins. Remove the
harrow height adjustment wrenches from left center
frame arm and turn the harrow height adj handle tube
to raise or lower the tine harrow assemblies. In
certain conditions, it may work better to leave the tine
angle more aggressive, and raise the tine harrow.
NOTE
Coil tine sections are heavy. Do not place feet under
tines while adjusting. Adjustments can be made on
the side of a section, and them doing the other side.
This will keep one pin always installed to prevent it
from falling uncontrolled.
5. Re-install the 1 x 7-5/16 pins, 3/16 dia pins through
aligned holes of harrow arm assemblies.
6. Reels are set to 21-1/2" from Landoll. To adjust the
standard reel height, loosen the locking hex nut
against the threaded spring end
The hydraulic reel can be raised as needed to
prevent plugging.
