Operation
NOTE
This chapter will cover the basic operation and
procedures for the Landoll Brillion Soil Builder. Be sure to
read and understand the Safety Procedures and
Cautions starting on Page 1-2.
General
The Brillion Soil Builder should be inspected prior to
operation to see that all nuts and bolts are tight and
to be sure that it is in good operating condition. (After the
first few hours of initial operation, check bolts again to be
sure they haven’t loosened.)
Hitch the implement to the tractor drawbar. It may be
necessary to make adjustments on the adjustable
brace rod assembly of the Soil Builder so that the clevis is
at the proper height for tractor drawbar.
Hydraulic cylinders are used to raise and lower the
machine. Attach hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulic
system so the machine can be lowered with the tractor
control lever.
Transporting the Soil Builder
To transport the unit, extend the transport cylinders
completely and place cylinder lockouts in the transport
lock position, over the cylinder rods. Then insert a pin
assembly into each cylinder lockout and secure them
with the hairpin cotters provided. The cylinder lockouts
are now in place and will keep the machine in a raised
position for transport. See Figure 3-1.
Field Operation
Once the soil builder has been transported to the field,
remove the pin assemblies that secured the cylinder
lockouts for transport. Lower the machine until the points
reach the desired depth you wish to work.
Then adjust the Brace Rod assembly on the drawbar so
the machine runs level and all shanks are working at
approximately the same depth. See Figure 3-1.
