MACHINE ADJUSTMENT The machine features high stability during operation. However turning of machine to one side may oc- cur with fault adjusted longitudinal plane (particularly in heavy soils). This is removed by modification of tractor arm height as follows, or by adding or removing the spacers on the piston-rods of the drawbar of the machine.
MACHINE ADJUSTMENT 10.3 Setting the right edge disc The adjustable right edge disc is used as a rotary deflector with the aim to direct the flow of the proc- essed soil to prevent the formation of a furrow between the individual passes. The disc can be set at three depth levels thanks to drawbars.
MACHINE ADJUSTMENT 10.4 Machine travelling direction at work Change the direction of work with the machine by 15-30° to the previous seeding/harvest operation. That will help you achieve the best work results with the machine: a high crop residue throughput, mixing crop residue in and the levelling effect (levelling the tracks from previous operations) Seeding/harvest direction Stubble plugging direction...
MACHINE ADJUSTMENT 10.5 Exclusion of rear rubber-tyred rollers • Raising the rear rubber-tyred rollers is important for the preparation of soil for winter. • By raising the rear rubber-tyred rollers, you will ensure the formation of ridges: the soil surface remains undulating after the machine passes over it which creates a large area that positively influences faster drying of the soil in spring.
