2.7 Preceding & Trailing
Implements
Adding a preceding or trailing
implement to the Simba UniPress
will affect the stability and handling
of the machine both in transport
and work.
2.7.1 Hitching a Disc Cultivator
Ahead of the Simba UniPress
1. Remove the transport straps from the
disc cultivator, exercise great CARE
when extending the axle cylinder.
2. Reverse the disc cultivator up to the
Simba UniPress drawbar ensuring
that the two drawbars are aligned
allowing a slight clearance to enable
the machines to be coupled together.
3. Lower the disc cultivator to the ground.
4. Connect the hydraulic hoses from the
Simba UniPress into the disc cultivator
rear outlets ensuring that the wing
hoses are together and the drawbar
cylinder hoses are together. Ensure
that the folding circuits and lift drawbar
circuits are coupled correctly.
5. Raise the Simba UniPress drawbar
above the disc drawbar (200mm
approx.). Depth control shims may
need to be removed.
6. Raise the disc cultivator to the same
height as the Simba UniPress drawbar
then reverse the disc cultivator to
couple the two machines together.
7. Fit the drawbar pin.
8. Operate the hydraulics to lower the
rear axle and drawbar, tilting the Simba
UniPress onto the road transport
wheels. Fully extend the drawbar
cylinders.
9. Fully raise the levelling boards.
10. Operate the hydraulics to fold the
wings.
11. Operate the hydraulics to lift the disc
cultivator into the transport position.
12. Fit the disc cultivator transport straps.
13. Fit the Simba UniPress wing transport
strap to tie the two wing sections
together.
14. Ensure that parking stands are locked
up in their work position.
With both machines in the transport position
i.e. raised and folded, the chassis of the disc
cultivator should be slightly nose down or
horizontal even when the downward load
from the Simba UniPress is applied to the
drawbar of the disc cultivator.
The frame may be levelled by altering
the rearward tilt of the Simba UniPress to
increase or reduce the loading on the disc
rear drawbar.
