General Operation and In-Field
Adjustments
10. The Ultra-Till is designed as a primary/secondary
vertical tillage tool and is designed to leave a fin-
ished seedbed following some form of fall or spring
tillage. In a min-till/no-till operation, it may be used as
a primary one pass vertical tillage tool. For best
results, if at all possible, run the machine at a slight
angle to the rows. This will improve trash flow and
help spread the residue more evenly throughout the
field.
11. Remove the transport pins and unfold machine.
Make sure the fold cylinders are fully extended to
allow the wings to fully flex in the field.
12. The ideal working speed for the Ultra-Till with turbo
blades is 7 to 10 mph and with disc blades, no more
than 7 mph is recommended due to the possibility of
ridging.
13. Before starting in the field: Set the depth of the
gangs at 0 inches on the gauge. Let the machine all
the way down until the cylinders are retracted. Set
your leveling front to back with the turnbuckle on the
hitch by lengthening or shortening. Reset the depth
of gangs between 2 to 3 on the level gauge.
