PRE-WORK PREPARATION Connecting Straw Harrow to the Tractor The Claydon Straw Harrow can be mounted onto any compatible three point linkage with the linkage pins supplied and CATIII balls (not supplied). Once the Straw Harrow is attached and at the correct working depth, the top link should be set at an angle in which the convergence point between the upper and lower link arms should fall at the front axle.

MACHINE INTO TRANSPORT. Raise the machine off the ground, fold tines back and fold the wings fully upright. Ensure sufficient clearance is present between the rear of the Straw Harrow and the ground prior to folding. OPERATORS MANUAL - 9M STRAW HARROW...

SETTING MACHINE LEVEL For optimal working, the Claydon Straw Harrow must be set level from front to rear on the top link of the tractor when in the working position. Failure to achieve this will result in the harrow blocking with straw in the front if the top link is too short or in the back if the top link is too long.
WORKING HEIGHT The Claydon Straw Harrow has no depth wheels and is designed to carry its own weight on the tines. If you are finding that the Straw Harrow is doing more work than you would like you can transfer more of the harrows weight on the tractors three point linkage.
You should pull the Claydon Straw Harrow as quickly as you can (up to speeds of 25 km/h). From time to time (very rarely) the Straw Harrow can catch a lump or a tramline and start to bounce, in this scenario you should slow down or stop until the machine has settled and then carry on as normal.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE The Claydon Straw Harrow requires very little maintenance in order to provide reliable service. Prior to using the machine, the Straw Harrow should be checked for any broken tines or hydraulic fluid leaks. Ensure all bolts are retightened after the first eight hours of use.
WHILST STORING IT OVER THE WINTER PERIOD. 1. Wash machine down and wait for it to dry. 2. Ensure all lubricating points are greased. (See pages 25 for grease points) 3. Ideally store inside a building OPERATORS MANUAL - 9M STRAW HARROW...
