Adjustable Ridger - MADER E-MT370C Operating Instructions Manual

RIDGE ADAPTABLE BEHIND ROTARY HOE
It makes furrows for seed and irrigation and is mounted behind the rotary hoe without removing the cover.
The furrow depth is adjusted by raising (deeper) or lowering (less deep) slide B. The width is adjusted by
changing the wing position by means of tie-rods C (fig 33).

ADJUSTABLE RIDGER

The adjustable ridger for two-wheel tractors (fig 35) is an implement specially designed for making furrows
for seeding or irrigation. It is attached, like ploughs and rotary hoe, to the implement coupling regulation of
the furrow width from a minimum of 10cm up to a maximum of 30cm.
Depth can be varied between 10cm and 20cm. Variation is obtained acting on tie-rods C.
When very hard soils have to be worked, it is advisable first to hoe the ground and then to use the ridger.
Performance can be enhanced by mounting 12'' pneumatic wheels.
To compensate the difference in diameter of the wheels coupling A to the machine is asymmetrical so that,
by disconnecting it from the implement and turning it 180degree, it will compensate the difference
between the two wheels.
