Row Implement Adjustments
To get full performance from your planter, you need a
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 63
Note: All adjustments must be made with the unit in the
fully raised position.
Excess Wear Risk:
Check that the Terra-Tine™ Row Cleaner tines DO NOT touch
the coulter blade or any other attachments. At least
1 ⁄
2
inch
(13 mm) clearance is recommended. Tine contacts cause
excess wear to all parts involved.
1. When the blade is out of the soil, adjust the lock
collar 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
retightening the square head set screw.
Refer to Figure 64
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 better performance behind the hub, but
available space may dictate the mounting position.
