Field Operations
Soil Contact
Begin field operation by lowering unit into soil. For good electrical conductivity, all coulter electrodes
must be in direct contact with the soil, at all times and in every region of the field. A depth of 1-
2” is
recommended. To insure this depth is consistently achieved, 300-350 lbs. of additional weight are
normally required. Veris offers optional weights and mounting hardware that can be installed on the
2000XA. Do not adjust the tension on the coulter electrode springs to increase soil contact or
penetration. They are pre-set at the factory with the proper tension.
Speed
Proper field operating speed depends on field conditions. Because of the importance of consistent
contact, the unit must not be allowed to bounce over rough fields at high speeds. On smooth fields,
the implement can be operated at speeds from 8-12 m.p.h. Reduce speeds in rocky conditions.
