good understanding of row cleaner, coulter, fertilizer,
opener, meter, seed firmer, and press wheel operation.
Frame-Mounted Row Accessories
Terra-Tine™ Adjustment
Refer to Figure 47
Note: All adjustments must be made with the unit in the
fully raised position.
IMPORTANT !
Check that the Terra-Tine Row Cleaner tines DO NOT
touch the coulter blade or any other attachments. Such
contacts cause excess wear to all parts involved. At
least
1 ⁄
2
in clearance is recommended.
1. When the blade is out of the soil, adjust the lock col-
lar height to set the height of tine fingers flush with
the bottom of coulter blade.
2. Side-to-side alignment can be done by rotating the
shank mount around the vertical shaft and retighten-
ing the square head set screw.
Refer to Figure 48
3.
Fore-to-aft adjustment is accomplished by adding or
removing the extension arm
to place the Terra-
Tine Row Cleaner to either side of the coulter hub
depending on the desired position or clearance
between other attachments. Testing has shown bet-
ter performance behind the hub, but available space
may dictate the mounting position.
