Kolpin 86850 – TOW BEHIND DISC - Manual (Page 9)

Rev. 1
General Use and Maintenance:
- With proper care the DirtWorks Disc will give you many years of dependable service. After use
we recommend that you clean off any mud, dirt or debris that might have accumulated on your
implement. As with any ground engaging implement, paint scratches and worn paint will be
evident after its first use. We recommend either painting exposed bare metal surfaces with any
type of black spray paint intended for metal objects. Use of moisture displacing oils such as “WD-
40” should keep the implement from rusting also.
- Disc Plows or “Disc Harrows” as some in the industry call them are typically not used to “turn
over” new ground, and it is recommended that if you have purchased the Disc Plow for new soil
preparation that you allow extra time for working the soil to gain the desired results in the end.
Disc Plows will cut established turf, but will require additional passes. We recommend removing
as much of the grass and over growth as possible. When you get started, start with shallow cuts
in the soil until you get a feel for how deep your ATV can handle cutting without over working
your ATV’s Engine. You are better to make multiple cuts over the same area, than to try to make a
single pass at a very deep cutting depth. This process of multiple passes will also result in better
ground preparation and seed germination.
- The 14” Notched Discs are specially heat treated and sharpened to provide a durable cutting
edge. You may experience a chipped disc edge at times; however, this doesn’t affect the Discs’
ability to cut. If a disc should “break” Kolpin recommends that you replace it immediately to
prevent damage to the bearings or the main disc assembly.
