OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Tractor Preparation
The Landoll 850/855 Series Finisholl is designed to be
pulled by tractor equipped with a double lip or clevis type
hitch. If your tractor is not equipped as such, you need to
purchase the hitch from your local tractor dealer. If your
Finisholl is equipped with the clevis option, this should be
removed. The clevis option is only for transport use.
Before attaching the Finisholl, prepare the tractor as
follows:
1. Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and add ballast
according to the tractor operator’s manual.
2. Lock the tractor drawbar in the center position.
Finisholl Preparation
1. Prior to operating the 850/855 Series Finisholl,
inspect it thoroughly for good operating condition.
2. Replace worn or missing parts.
3. When the machine is new, check the bolt tightness
after a few hours of operation. Tighten any loose nuts
or bolts. Check the gauge wheel lug bolts daily.
4. Check the gauge wheel tire inflation. Inflate all tires
equally to avoid side draft. Follow the tire
manufacturer’s recommended pressures listed on
the sidewall of the tires.
5. Check disc/coulter scrapers for proper adjustment to
the disc blade (See Figure 4-1.) To adjust the
pressure of the disc/coulter gang scrapers, loosen
the u-bolts that clamp the assembly to the
disc/coulter gang and slide the scraper assembly into
the disc blades. Only enough pressure is required to
keep the disc blades clean. The scraper blades are
reversible to allow extended use before replacement
is required.
6. Lubricate the machine as shown in “Lubrication”
on page 4-8 (See Figure 4-10.)
