8.3. LEVELING BLADE OPERATION (FOR MODELS WITH A LEVELING BLADE) The leveling blade is intended to move occasional or frequent rodent and badger mounds up to 12” high and several feet across. It is not designed to replace an earth moving scraper, reshaping the contours of a field, or doing drainage functions.
Page 23
The wheels have a cam for height setting on both sides of each wheel, when changing the wheel setting, change both sides equally. To change the height of the blade for various field conditions: 1) Use a 1 ½ inch wrench to loosen the 1” Bolt 2) Rotate the cam by turning with the wrench to desired setting on both sides.

FIGURE 15 BLADE RAISED FOR TRANSPORT, CLEAR STONE, OR DUMP SOD When operating in sod conditions, a significant buildup of sod in front of the blade is normal. In some conditions it is desirable to raise the blade up to 2 inches above the ground to allow sod to flow evenly out from under the blade, and then lower again when more mounds are spotted to get a complete cut of the mounds to near original ground level.
When planning to fill a 42” roller expect to use 55 Imperial gallons per foot, 66 USG per foot, 250 liters per foot, or 820 liters /meter Ag Shield Land Rollers are not designed to be transported while filled. Damage to machine components would occur if a water filled roller is even attempted to be raised hydraulically to road position.
8.5. ACRE METER OPTION The option electronic hub odometer threads into a ½” fine hole tapped into the end of the right-hand center roller shaft. Install the acre meter with a oil filter wrench to 23 lb foot of torque with a lock washer to ensure that the unit is not lost. t is protected by a flange welded onto the Veeder-Root electronic acre meter.
