OPERATION
The 2967 Residue Manager is designed to work in heavy residue situations especially where minimum soil
movement is required. Depending on conditions and objectives, the 2967 Residue Manager can be set
shallow with the teeth only engaged in the residue so as to clear heavy residue with minimal soil
disturbance. Residue Managers are not recommended when surface application pre-plant herbicide is
used prior to planting.
ROW CLEANER DO’S AND DON’TS
1. DO NOT move soil; Residue Managers are designed to move crop residue only.
2. DO NOT operate planter at slow speeds, ground speed affects how aggressive the
spoke wheels are; operate at sufficient speed (4-6 mph) to maintain good residue
flow.
3. DO NOT expect 100% of crop residue to be cleared, it is not necessary and would
necessitate engaging the soil. The width of path cleared depends on ground
conditions, depth setting and ground speed.
4. DO expect to see wheels occasionally quit turning, indicates ideal (shallow) setting
which is not moving soil.
5. DO adjust toolbar frame height 20”-22” and drawbar correctly. Very important to
ensure planter opener
will follow ground contours properly.
Regularly inspect the residue manager for loose or worn bolts.
Repair and replace as needed.
IMPORTANT: For proper operation, the planter frame must operate level (for, aft and side
to side) and at the correct height, typically 20”-22”.
