    6.0 GROUNDSPEED The groundspeed determines the hole spacing in the drive direction. The input speed R on the PTO may be maximum 540 rpm. When stones or rocks are expected, the input speed should be reduced till 200-300 rpm. @ See technical specifications for the relation between tractor speed and hole distance. @ If the machine is not set correctly behind the tractor, see fig.1., different angles at the PTO may cause vibration into the drive line of the RAPIDCORE.

  • Page 15: Solid Tines

    Use always tines with the same length and size. Replace a bent tine immediately. When this is not done, the machine can be unstable. Don’t use any thicker/ longer tines as what is specified under the technical specifications Shorter (worn) tines can be used in case shallower penetration is required. The machine doesn’t need to be adjusted that much at that time.
  • Page 16: Hollow Tines

    15.2 HOLLOW TINES. With hollow tines, the soil can be exchanged. Different sizes are available, see the spare part pages. The side outlet should face to the rear of the machine, see fig.5, because if used the other way round, we may hurt the turf.. The RAPIDCORE is standard delivered with 19 x 125 (5/8”x 5”) hollow tines with top eject.
  • Page 17: Windrow Kit

    15.4 WINDROW KIT (RC 1600). (added 15/08/00). A windrow kit can be assembled at the rear side of the Rapidcore, as drawn in Fig. 9. The pivot angle supports 11 and 12 can be mounted to the mainframe with bolts A, using holes B and adding plate 16.
  • Page 18: Turf Hold Down Fingers For Needle Tines

    • Remove the windrow kit when not needed. Be careful when driving around the machine with windrow kit at the back. 15.5 TURF HOLD DOWN FINGERS FOR NEEDLE TINES (RC 1600). (Added 30/11/00) Turf hold down fingers for needle tines are an option. If not really necessary, we advise not to use them, because they may get damaged when a tine hits a stone or bends.
  • Page 19 @ The alignment of the plates 9 to the tines 7 should only be done once, if next time the turf hold down sub assemblies ( 3 x beams) are assembled at the same position. Mark them. @ U channels 10 are identical to the ones used for the standard Turf Hold Down kit. For easy exchange of the different Turf Hold Down kits, we prefer using independent U channels for all kits.
