Remove Middle Two Coulter Shanks. Remove Middle Model 760T Three Coulter Shanks. Figure 5. – Suggested Heavy Debris Configuration Sod Covered Ground It is recommended that these conditions be mowed and sprayed with a grass killer.

- Page 12 Rock Covered Ground In most cases reversible point chisel sweeps will have the best chance of working in heavily rock covered ground on the initial pass. These sweeps will provide the least resistance. It may be necessary to raise or remove the coulters. If the coulters are being forced out of the ground due to rocks, it may be difficult to get adequate sweep penetration.
- Page 13 Soft Ground Conditions or Previously Tilled Ground Soft ground conditions can be performed with any of the sweeps. The 9” field cultivator sweeps tend to work the best in these cases. These sweeps will help to fully shear the ground off and create a true seedbed.
