19 Flatliner 500
Operating Instructions
Standard Wing
P09060
• Maximum soil disturbance with minimum
draft requirement under normal circum-
stances.
• Wing angle reduces wear rates on leg.
Extra Lift Wing
P10392
• Increased lift height and and rake angle
creates greater soil disturbance on all soil
types especially in moister conditions.
• Lower relative distance between edge of
wing and point reduces draft requirement.
• Has ability to work at lower depths with
no decrease in soil disturbance or risk of
smear.
Extra Wide Wing
P10411
• Improved lateral shatter in moist/wet soils,
or non-cohesive soils.
• Ideal for deep vegetable applications
under light/medium soils.
Wear Shroud
P11181
• Wear plate to take soil abrasion so lower
trailing edge of tine does not wear.
4. Adjustment / Operation
4.2 Tines
The Flatliner 500 is fitted with with Pro-Lift
tines and points. The tines are arranged in
a ‘V‘ frame to give lower draft requirements
and the ability to work progressively deeper.
Different wings are available to suit the soil
conditions and optimise the performance
of the machine.
Coarse tine depth is achieved by moving the
tines up and down in the adjustable clamps
(main working depth is set using the rear
roll).
Two additional tines may be added to each
machine (3m and 3.8m only) to reduce the
inter-tine spacing.
