OPERATION

IMPORTANT: For proper operation, the planter frame must operate level (for, aft and side
to side) and at the correct height, typically 20”-22”.

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.

DO adjust toolbar frame height 20”-22” and drawbar to “level” correctly.
Very important to ensure planter opener will follow ground contours
properly.
