Field Residue Plugs Between
Row Units.
Wet or damp field conditions can adversely effect the
performance of the 1tRIPr II® Row Unit. Typically, wet or
damp field conditions do not allow residue to pass
through the row unit as effectively as drier conditions.
• Raise row cleaner assembly to reduce the amount of
field residue passing between row units. See "Row
Cleaner Assembly Depth" on page 5-6.
• Alter ground speed to change rate at which field
residue passes through row unit tooling. Slower
ground speeds generally reduce plugging by allowing
residue to pass smoothly through row unit tooling.
• Decrease wavy coulter tillage width. See "Wavy
Coulter Assembly Depth and Width" on page 5-14.
• Increase distance between tillage shank assembly
and wavy coulter assembly. See "Wavy Coulter
Assembly Fore and Aft" on page 5-16.
• Adjust row cleaner width. See "Row Cleaner
Assembly Width" on page 5-8.
