OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Operational information
By simple adjustments, R200 Rotavators, will produce a
range of tilths in most soil types to prepare the desired
seedbed suitable to seed-drill requirements. As a general
principle fine tilths are produced by a combination of slow
tractor speeds and a lowered trailing board (fig.10).
Conversely coarse tilths are produced by fast tractor speeds
and a raised trailing board (fig.11).

Intermediate grades of tilth from coarse to fine can be
obtained by:
• Adjusting the pressure on the trailing board which by
impact shatters the blade cut «clods».
• Raised the trailing board also deposit weeds and trash
on the surface to wither .
• With the trailing board completely pressured trush is
buried and have a levelling effect on the soil.
• Increasing or decreasing the tractor speed it will also
afect to the tilth.
• High working speeds may also be used for shalow work
on previously borken ground.
Working instructions
Set the depth control skids to the required tillage depth
(page 18). Select a trial trailing board and to give the type
of thilth required. Engage the tractor Pto and Drive forward
progressively lowering the Rotavator into the ground.
Proceed for a short distance and check whether the
resultant tilth is satisfactory and the tillage depth is uniform
across the rotor width. If not make the apropiate
adjustments to procedure the required tilth.
