Rotary Cutting Depth Adjustment

There are three options for setting your cutting depth. They are gauge wheel drive, rear roller drive and rear roller drive with front roller. The option you use is determined by your Overseeder drive type.

Gauge Wheel Drive

!WARNING

Before making adjustments on the Overseeder, shut off tractor, disengage PTO, wait for all moving parts to stop and lock brakes before dismounting tractor. Be sure Overseeder is securely supported on safe supporting stands.

NOTE: The cutting depth of the knives is set by adjusting the height of the gauge wheels.

Refer to Figure 3-4:

1.Start by adjusting the left hand gauge wheel first. Loosen the jam nut (#1) and back it off.

2.Rotate turnbuckle (#2) to shorten or lengthen it to achieve proper depth, dimension (A).

3.Retighten jam nut (#1) to lock turnbuckle in place.

Refer to Figure 3-5:

4.Adjust right hand gauge wheel next. Lower Overseeder to the ground and support the right gauge wheel tire with a block beneath it, thus causing the spring loaded gauge wheel link to bottom out.

5.Loosen jam nut (#3) and back it off.

6.Turn adjuster nut (#4) to shorten or lengthen spring loaded link (#5).

7.Dimension (B) should be the same on both right and left hand gauge wheels to achieve the same cutting depth (A) at both ends of the Overseeder.

8.Adjust 3-point top center link at the tractor to re-level the Overseeder.

NOTE: Dimension (B) on the right hand gauge wheel can only be checked when the stop washer (#6) is bottomed on the spring tube (#7) as shown.

Rear Roller Drive

Refer to Figure 3-6:

NOTE: The cutting depth of the knives is set by raising or lowering the tractor’s lower 3-point arms.

1.Raise or lower the lower arms on the tractor 3-point hitch until the desired cutting depth is obtained.

2.Adjust rigid links as necessary by loosening jam nuts (#1) and turning the turnbuckles (#2) to get a firm pressing action on the packer wheels.

3.Retighten jam nuts making sure that dimension (A) is equal in both sides.
