Introduction The model GNDP - Folding Wheel Offset Disk Harrow - was specially designed to prepare the soil by breaking its clods, leaving the soil ready for seeders. It also facilitates the herbicide application and the mechanized harvest. The frame ends are manually foldable and the equipment can reach a minimum width of 3250 mm, which facilitates the transportation in rural roads, bridges, narrow gates and others.

30). Hitching to the tractor Couple the hitch (A) to the tractor traction bar and lock it using an axle (B) and cotter pin. Observe that the traction bar must remain fixed. Marchesan Implementos e Máquinas Agrícolas “TATU” S.A. GNDP...
Before starting working, make sure nuts and bolts of all parts are properly tightened, especially the ones on the disc blade gangs, otherwise the axle and other 1 cm components may be damaged. GNDP Marchesan Implementos e Máquinas Agrícolas “TATU” S.A.
Adjustments and operations Folding the frames for transportation The GNDP harrow has foldable ends to facilitate the transport on narrow places. Move the lateral frames to fold them, as shown in the illustration. Then, place the lock pins (A), fastening an end to the central frame and the other end to the side frames.
• Try to make a good finish between passes. Avoid the formation of furrows or untilled strips. • The traction bars from the harrow and tractor must be as aligned as possible related to the working direction. GNDP Marchesan Implementos e Máquinas Agrícolas “TATU” S.A.
(A) fixation to keep the harrow leveled. To do so, use the holes (B) and let the disc gangs in the same level as the soil. • When in transport position, keep the tires totally lowered. Marchesan Implementos e Máquinas Agrícolas “TATU” S.A. GNDP...
Harrowing in squares Harrowing in squares from outside to inside from inside to outside Harrowing in level IMPORTANT Note that the harrowed ground is always on the left hand side of the operator. GNDP Marchesan Implementos e Máquinas Agrícolas “TATU” S.A.
Adjustments and operations Direction of the maneuvers As previously mentioned, the GNDP disk harrow provides several working angles to operate properly in all types of soil. However, this harrow requires certain care during operations, like never make maneuvers to the right,...
• During working or transportation, the presence of passengers on the tractor or equipment is not allowed. • The traction bar must remain loose during transportation and fixed during working. • As previously mentioned, the GNDP harrow has several settings. However, only the local conditions can determine the best adjustment thereof. GNDP...
