Row Cleaner Assembly Width; Fore And Aft Adjustment - Orthman 1TRIPR II ROW UNITS Operator's Manual

OPERATION AND FIELD SETTINGS

Row Cleaner Assembly Width

The row cleaner assembly reduces field residue directly
behind the depth band coulter assembly prior to the
arrival of rearward tooling. The row cleaner assembly can
be adjusted fore and aft.
The row cleaner discs can be adjusted fore and aft by
removing them and changing their position to one of
three holes on the row cleaner mount. Each rearward
hole moves the disc assembly nearly 1 in (2.54 cm)
further away from the depth band coulter. As the discs
are moved rearward, the distance between the discs will
increase.
There are two spacers along with a washer that set the
width between the discs. A combination of these spacers
may be used to attain different widths between discs at
different fore and aft positions. As discs are moved
rearward, it is adviseable to remove spacers to decrease
the width between the discs.
