FIELD OPERATION - cont'd.

11.Operating hints:

a.Determine the moisture content of the soil before starting. Soil that is too wet will "ball-up" in the rotor blades making tilling impossible. Sandy soils normally can be worked better than heavy clay or loam soils. It is the responsibility of the operator to determine the soil type and moisture content before starting. It may be necessary to wait for the soil to dry out before starting to work.

b.Set the length of the Top Link to obtain the quality of the job desired without needlessly using power and fuel in churning the soil. Use the condition of the seedbed as your guide.

c.When tilling hard or compacted soils, it is recommended that two passes be used when working. Use the Depth Gauge Shoes on each side of the frame to adjust the tilling depth of the machine. The second pass should be made at an angle to the first to give a consistent job and minimize compaction.

d.Always remove heavy crop cover, all grass and weeds, before starting to prevent rotor plugging.

e.The rotation of the Tines propel the machine in the forward direction. Always use the tractor transmission to control the speed of forward travel.

f.Always disengage the PTO control and raise the machine out of the ground before depressing the master clutch on the tractor.

g.Use low gear on the tractor to start the job. Increase the speed of forward travel only as the quality of the job and power available will allow.

h.If the slip clutch slips, reduce the ground speed or raise the machine slightly out of the ground.
