65 Series Rotary Tiller

FIELD OPERATION

Buhler Farm King 65 Series Rotary Tillers are designed with the inherent flexibility of operating well in almost any kind of soil and terrain conditions. However, the operator has the responsibility of being familiar with all operating and safety procedures and following them.

Each operator should review this section of the manual at the start of the season and as often as required to be familiar with the machine. When using, follow this procedure:

1.Review and follow the pre-operation Checklist. Review Safety Instructions.

2.Attach the tractor to the machine.

3.Before going to the field review Transporting Section.

4.Pull into the field and position the machine in a level area.

5.Lower into working position.

6.Set the machine:

a.Level the frame:

Use the screw jack on the right lift arm to level the frame from side-to-side.

b.Depth: Use the Depth Gauge Shoes on each side to set the operating depth. Position the Depth Gauge Shoes in the top hole for shallow tilling and in the bottom hole for deep tilling.

ALERT: In soft soil conditions, the skid plates become less effective and sink into the ground. Use the turnbuckle on the top link to set the frame angle so the bottom of the Depth Gauge Shoes are level when operating.
