OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Leveling (Front to Rear)
1.
The leveling feature on the 6510 disc is equipped
with a standard hydraulic cylinder. This feature is
used to level the unit from front-to-rear to perform a
level discing operation in the field.
2. The unit should be level from front to rear and the soil
behind the disc should be level without furrows or
ridges. If there is a presence of a ridge on the right
hand side, the front gangs are in too deep. If there is
a presence of a ridge on the left hand side, the rear
gangs are in too deep.
3. During field operation the leveling cylinder should be
initially set at a dimension of 25" from pin-to-pin (See
Figures 5-5.) After initial operation, adjustments can
be made to make sure unit is achieving a level
discing operation.
4. During transport operation the leveling cylinder
should be adjusted to achieve equal ground
clearance between front and rear gangs. If not
adjusted, the front gangs will have much less
clearance than the rear gangs.
5. For adjusting the leveling cylinder; retracting the
cylinder will cause the front gangs to go in the ground
deeper. While extending the cylinder will cause the
rear gangs to go in the ground deeper.

Side Draft Adjustment
1. The side draft feature on the 6510 is equipped with
either the standard manual linkage or the optional
hydraulic cylinder. This feature is used to maintain a
proper draft line with the tractor. This proper draft line
ensures that the disc follows directly in line with the
tractor.
2. During normal operation the side draft feature should
be initially set at a dimension of 25" from pin-to-pin
(See Figures 5-6.)

3. After initial operation, adjustments can be made to
make sure unit is achieving a proper draft line.
4. On machines with the manual side draft linkage, the
turnbuckle will need to be adjusted with the provided
wrenches.
5. On machines with the optional hydraulic cylinder, the
cylinder can be adjusted on-the-go from the tractor.
6. For adjusting the side draft feature; extending either
the linkage or cylinder will cause the disc gangs to
shift to the left. While retracting either the linkage or
cylinder will cause the disc gangs to shift to the right.
Scraper Adjustment
The 6510 Disc is equipped with rigid scrapers at regular
spools and at the disc bearings.
