OPERATION
1. Set/mount coulter blades to run perpendicular to the soil. Operation depth and
blade wear can be affected if the coulter is mounted crooked or if the toolbar is not
level side to side.
2. After a few hours of use, check all bolts for tightness and proper torque.
3. Adjust the residue manager to move crop residue aside and not move any soil.
Adjustments to the residue manager may have to be made when changing field
conditions and type and amount of residue.
ROW CLEANER DO’S AND DON’TS
1. DO NOT move soil; Residue Managers are designed to move crop residue
only.
2. DO NOT operate planter at slow speeds, ground speed affects how
aggressive the spoke wheels are; operate at sufficient speed (4-6 mph) to
maintain good residue flow.
3. DO NOT expect 100% of crop residue to be cleared, it is not necessary and
would necessitate engaging the soil. The width of path cleared depends on
ground conditions, depth setting and ground speed.
4. DO expect to see wheels occasionally quit turning, indicates ideal (shallow)
setting which is not moving soil.
5. DO adjust toolbar frame height 20”-22” and drawbar correctly. Very
important to ensure planter units will follow ground contours properly.
6. Do adjust planter unit down pressure kit correctly to prevent excessive depth
in soft, loose soils.
