Field Condition
Field should be in a uniform state. Mapping after intensive primary tillage is not recommended. The
soil must have a minimum of 20% available water, and cannot be frozen. If rocky conditions exist,
slow down and make sure rock guards are in place

Turn the top link to adjust the tilt so that the unit runs level. This is the optimum setting for all field
conditions. Extending the top link will cause the rear of the unit to move down. Shortening the top
link will cause the inverse.
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.
Pulling Vehicle
The implement may be pulled with a variety of vehicles: 20-50 hp tractor or a 4WD pickup.
• Be very careful when mapping stubble fields with a gasoline engine pickup. Be prepared if a fire
starts.
