Field Operation
The floating ring pulverizer is designed with rings whose inside diameter is two to four inches greater
than the drum which supports them. This allows the packer wheels to follow the irregular contours
in your fields.
The drum assembly can be mounted to the frame in two ways. When mounted as shown in figure
7A, the wheels will have a tendency to pack the soil. When the wheels are mounted as shown in
figure 7B, the wheels will act more like a rotary hoe and will have a tendency to loosen the soil. To
change the mounting of the wheel and drum assembly to the frame, follow these steps:
1. Lower the wheels to the ground.
2. Support the frame with an overhead hoist.
3. Remove the bolts which hold the pillow block bearings to the frame.
4. Raise the frame above the roller assembly.
5. Pivot the roller assembly 180 degrees.
6. Re-attach the pillow block bearings to the frame.
