OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Tractor Preparation
The Landoll 2111 Coulter Chisel is designed to be pulled
by tractor equipped with a double lip or clevis type hitch.
If your tractor is not equipped as such, you need to
purchase the hitch from your local tractor dealer. If your
Coulter Chisel is equipped with the clevis option, this
should be removed. The clevis option is only for transport
use.
Before attaching the Coulter Chisel, prepare the tractor
as follows:
1. Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and add ballast
according to the tractor operator’s manual.
2. Lock the tractor drawbar in the center position.
Coulter Chisel Preparation
1. Prior to operating the 2111 Coulter Chisel, inspect it
thoroughly for good operating condition.
2. Replace worn or missing parts.
3. When the machine is new, check the bolt tightness
after a few hours of operation. Tighten any loose nuts
or bolts. Check the lift wheel lug bolts daily.
4. Check the lift wheel tire inflation. Inflate all tires
equally to avoid side draft. Follow the tire
manufacturer’s recommended pressures listed on
the sidewall of the tires.
5. Lubricate the machine as shown in “Lubrication
Maintenance” on page 4-12 (See Figure 4-10.)
Attaching To The Tractor
1. Align the tractor drawbar with the machine. Raise or
lower the Coulter Chisel ring hitch, as needed, using
the swivel jack. Attach the unit with proper size hitch
pin.
2. Always place the swivel jack on the interior mount
before setting the machine in motion.
3. Clean all hydraulic couplings and attach to the
tractor.
4. Fully extend the hydraulic lift wheel cylinders, and
place the cylinder lockouts in the transport lock
position over the cylinder rods. Secure the lockouts
with the lockout pins.
Hydraulic Lift System
The Coulter Chisel is equipped with a hydraulic lift
system to raise and lower the unit in the field.
