OPERATION VII. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE Before working, it is necessary to carefully get acquainted with the function and construction of the tractor's and plough's parts. 7.1. Preparation of the tractor to work with the plough REMEMBER! In order to make proper adjustments of the below-described sub-assemblies of the tractor, observe the provisions specified in the instruction manual provided by the tractor manufacturer.
OPERATION 7.1.3. Three-point linkage The construction of the three-point linkage is based on the principle that the tractor and the mounted machine are intended to operate as an integral assembly. The functionality of such assembly depends on a setting of the upper link (1) and lower links (2) adjusted on hangers (3).
OPERATION 7.1.5. Front axle load The tractor must be equipped with front weights (1) to ensure the optimum driving properties, proper mass distribution and equal working depth of ploughing. The calculation procedure of the counterweight mass for the plough as the ballast weights mounted in front of the tractor is discussed in the “Stability of the tractor-plough assembly”...
OPERATION 7.2.1. Mounting the plough on the tractor In order to attach the plough correctly and safely, the tractor should stand on a firm and level ground. While mounting the plough on the tractor proceed as follows: switch the tractor's hydraulic system into position adjustment, •...
OPERATION 7.3. Start of ploughing The arrangements indicated below are essential, particularly if the plough is operated for the very first time. 7.3.1. Upper attachment point The plough can be connected to the end of the tractor's upper link by means of permanent holes (OS) or floating...
OPERATION When starting ploughing, in order to properly set the plough, note which direction the tractor tends to veer to. If it turns towards the ploughed soil, loosen the internal spindle, and if it turns towards unploughed field tighten the internal spindle. While external spindle (2) is used for changing of the furrow width.
OPERATION However, if value of the angle of approach is too high, this can result in undesired resistance and problems maintaining the same ploughing depth, and finally, significant increase in fuel consumption. When adjusting the body, do not loosen fastening bolts completely to prevent detachment of elements of the body! 7.3.4.
Page 36
OPERATION Wheel support has a few-step vertical adjustment, separately for the plough's right and left side (screws S1 and S2). In connection with the tractor's hydraulic system, used for lifting and lowering of the plough, the adjustable support wheel can be used for ploughing depth adjustment.
OPERATION 7.3.6. Adjustment of vertical tilt After setting of a desired ploughing depth and setting of the tractor so that right or left wheels are level on a furrow, adjust proper working angle for the whole machine (vertical adjustment). It is desirable that in ploughing position, between the ground and...
OPERATION 7.4. Plough rotation The plough's rotary mechanism is based on two- side action rotation cylinder (1). The cylinder is mounted at the back of hanger's turret which enables smooth and safe rotation. External spindle (2) should be adjusted so that when the plough is lifted, the machine has a sufficient clearance from the ground to ensure a collision-free full rotation, taking into account also a change in the support wheel's position during this procedure.
OPERATION 7.5. Safety devices The simplest in use and the most effective stone protection device. Each plough body is protected with shear bolts (s) of adequate hardness. These bolts are mounted in upper holes on the plough beam and holder mounting the whole body on the frame.
Page 40
OPERATION During ploughing keep away from the area of plough body release! Keep a safe distance! WARNING! Exercise particular caution when replacing shear bolt. Within the area of protection of the plough body with shear bolt, there are cutting and crushing risk points! ATTENTION! Do not rotate the plough with released body! This may cause damage to the machine!
8.1. Delivery and unloading If the machine is purchased directly from the manufacturer, the transport conditions are determined by AGRO-MASZ, if no other arrangements are made with the customer. The delivery time-limit is settled by the manufacturer in consultation with the customer. The seller (manufacturer) is responsible for the proper packaging and protection of the machine for the time of transport.
TRANSPORT 8.2. Transport – driving on public roads Take care as the machine can swing beyond the outline of the tractor at the corners! Before transport, fix supports of the tractor's lower links to limit the sideways movements of the machine! For transport on public roads the machine is driven being lifted on the tractor's three-point linkage.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE The machine can be repaired and serviced only by personnel with proper knowledge and being familiar with the possible risk and instruction manual! To keep the plough in the best technical condition and its optimum service lifetime, maintain its elements in accordance with the below-mentioned schedule.

OPERATION Incorrect vertical settings of the plough. As far as the quality of work is concerned, it is important to have the depth correctly set. Maximum working depth should not be greater than 2/3 of the furrow width, which in normal soil conditions will allow to produce furrows which are properly turned over and balanced.
Page 49
Correct horizontal setting of the plough. Incorrect horizontal setting of the machine.
Page 50
OPERATION Ploughing quality is significantly influenced by an apparently obvious matter of turning on headlands. It is recommended to take turns using either of two methods: • Turn by 360 – when approaching the edge of the field, start the plough lifting function at the same time turning maximally to the ploughed part of the field, and shortly after that smoothly turn the steering wheel maximally to the opposite direction, and then...
MAINTENANCE 9.4. Detachment of plough The plough always should be parked on a firm and level ground. To safely detach the plough from the tractor: • turn the plough to working position and lower it so it is supported with right bodies on the ground, turn the tractor's engine off and remove the ignition key, •...
MAINTENANCE 9.5. Storage The machine should be cleaned on regular basis, taking particular care after the end of the working season for a storing period between the working seasons, which will affect its service lifetime. The plough can be cleaned by means of compressed air or a pressure washer.
MAINTENANCE Ploughshares should be replaced in good time before section where the chisel is bolted is affected by wear. However a ploughshare can be recovered, if its wear allows for this. Mouldboards should be replaced together with supports, if there is a deterioration in dumping of a produced furrow, or eventually, if the element starts to get deformed.
