• Try to make a good finish between passes. Avoid the formation of furrows or untilled strips. • The tractor and harrow drawbar should be as aligned as possible to the work direction. GLHAL Marchesan Implementos e Máquinas Agrícolas “TATU” S.A.
It is necessary to perform the maneuvers on the left hand side to avoid ATTENTION overloading the equipment and allow it to operate normally. Following these instructions to also avoid the formation of undesirable furrows on the maneuver spots. GLHAL Marchesan Implementos e Máquinas Agrícolas “TATU” S.A.
Adjustments and operations Direction of the maneuvers As described in the foregoing adjustments, the GLHAL disk harrow provide several working angles to operate properly in all types of soil. However, the harrow requires certain care during operations, like never make maneuvers to the right hand side, because the angle formed by the "V"...
• The traction bar must remain loose during transportation and fixed during working. • As previously mentioned the GLHAL harrow has several settings. However, only the local conditions can determine the best adjustment thereof. GLHAL Marchesan Implementos e Máquinas Agrícolas “TATU” S.A.
V = Average speed of the tractor (in meters per hour); E = Efficiency: 0,90; X = Hectare value = 10.000 m Example with a GLHAL harrow of 22 disc blades: R = ? L = 1,9 m V = 7.000 m/h E = 0,90 X = 10.000 m...
To know how many hours will be spent to work a certain previously known area, it is necessary to divide the value of the area by the hourly income. Example: An area of 100 hectares to be worked with a GLHAL harrow of 22 disc blades (Hourly income = 1,20 hectares).
