Heavy Reel
Refer to Figure 13
34. The reel attachment is a very versatile leveling attach-
ment and requires very little adjustment.
35. The reel down pressure may be adjusted by loosening the
jam nut and then either increasing or decreasing the
spring pressure . When the desired amount of spring
pressure is set, re-tighten the jam nut . Note: It is recom-
mended to run little or no down pressure in wet or sticky
field conditions.
Refer to Figure 14
36. The bars on the reels are angled forward and should be
installed as such on the machine. In some conditions in
which a firming of the soil is more desirable than breaking
up clods then these reels can be mounted in reverse
.
This does however increase the chance of causing dam-
age to the bars in rocky soil.
Be sure reels are installed with twisted bars oriented forward as
shown. Mounting in reverse can damage reel in rocky soil.
