OPERATION
ADJUSTMENTS
Be sure the planter is level and at the height from the soil as stated in the planter operation
manual.
DEPTH
To adjust residue manager wheels, apply a downward force on the 2967-277 adjustment
handle to take weight off of the 2967-562 quick adjust handle. Raise the 2967-277 adjustment
lever to set residue manager wheels deeper, lower the 2967-277 adjustment lever to set residue
manager wheels more shallow.
The quick adjust has 20 settings in increments that average 3/16” for 3-3/4” of travel. The
deepest setting is ½” above 15” diameter planter blades, the shallowest setting is 4-1/4” above
15” diameter planter blades.
RESIDUE MANAGER 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 expect the potential to bend or break teeth on wheels in excessively
rocky conditions.
6. DO adjust toolbar frame height and drawbar correctly. Very important to
ensure planter units will follow ground contours properly.
7. Do adjust planter unit down pressure kit correctly to prevent excessive depth
in soft, loose soils.
8. DO expect more adjustments to be required in finely tilled or soft soils. In
these conditions, the planter may lose floatation, requiring adjustment of the
residue manager to shallower positions.
MAINTENANCE
After a few hours use, check all bolts to make sure they are secure.
