2.7 Preceding & Trailing
Implements
Adding a preceding or trailing
implement to the Double Press will
affect the stability and handling of
the machine both in transport and
work.
2.7.1 Hitching a Disc Cultivator
Ahead of the Double Press
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
Double Press 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
Double Press 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 Double Press 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 Double Press 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 Double
Press 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 Double Press 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 Double Press is applied to the
drawbar of the disc cultivator.
The frame may be levelled by altering the
rearward tilt of the Double Press to increase
or reduce the loading on the disc rear
drawbar.
