General Operation
1. The minimum horsepower requirement is based on
the Pulverizer width. This will vary widely due to
speed, moisture, and types of soils. Local dealers can
help in making recommendations for your area.
5 FT and 6 FT Machines: 35 horsepower
7 FT and 8 FT Machines: 45 horsepower
2. 3-PT Hitch capacity is based on the Pulverizer weight.
See "Specifications" on page 5-1. Tractor must be
sized accordingly. Refer to Tractor Operator's
Manual.
3. Operating speed is typically 3-6 mph. Reduce speed
in rocky conditions to prevent Roller Wheel breakage.
4. Pulverizer Stand should always be securely raised
when operating. When not in use, lower Pulverizer
Stand to a level surface. Block the Pulverizer Roller
Assembly before unhitching from tractor.
