Assembly Instructions for the Rolling Harrow and Reel
Turbo-Till
Effective Date 04/04/05
Your initial action is to locate the correct drag frame (61). Bolt the drag frame to the rear drag
plates located on the rear of your Great Plains Turbo Till, using 5/8x1 ½ hex bolts [(43) 802-051C] with
5/8” hex nuts [(25) 803-021C] and 5/8” lock washers [(26) 804-022C]. The rolling harrow gangs shown
in figure 4 will come to you assembled. Your next step is to locate the ball joint assemblies [(59) 589-
064H]. Figure 4 shows you the dimensions to mount the ball joint assemblies on the rolling harrow
gang.
Mount the rolling harrow brackets [(60) 589-057H] to the under side of the drag frames
according to the dimensions in figures 1-3, using a 5/8x3x4 ½ u-bolt [(44) 806-183C] with a lock
washer and nut. You may tighten the u-bolts on all the brackets that are closest to the rear of the
machine. Leave the front brackets loose to slide until the rolling harrow assemblies are hung under the
frame. Use the 1x4 hex bolt and 1” nylock nut through the harrow brackets (589-057H) and ball joint
assemblies [(59) 589-064H] to hang the rolling harrow gangs under the frame. Be careful to put the
proper gang in the proper location and be sure that the assemblies are positioned correctly as shown in
figure 4. When all gangs are hung under the frame and positioned in the correct location, tighten the
remaining u-bolts.
Mount the rear stand bracket [(71) 580-049H], if applicable, to the drag frame with 5/8x4x4 ¼
U-bolts, a lock washer and a nut as shown on figure 1. The rear stand leg [(70) 560-196H] should be
pinned in the rear stand bracket with a 3/4x4 ½ pin and retainer (805-081C).
Mount the reel arm assemblies (589-069L) to the drag frames, using the dimensions in figures 6-
10, using a 5/8x3x4 ½ u-bolt [(44) 806-183C] with a lock washer and nut. These bolts may be tightened
at this time. Assemble the reel sub-assemblies to the reel tube by u-bolting the reel brackets to the
correct tube with a 5/8x2 1/2x3 ¾ u-bolt [(16) UB0037], lock washer, and nut. See bottom of page for
correct reel assemblies. If you are assembling a 10’ or 12’ reel, do not install the two center u-bolts as
you will use 5/8x4 hex bolts (802-060C), with lock washers and nuts in this location as shown in figure
5. Once the reels are attached to the reel bar, bolt the reel bar to the reel arm assemblies using the
dimensions in figures 1, 2, and 3. If you are bolting on a 10’ or 12’ section; by using the 5/8x4 bolts as
shown in figure 5 the reel will be in the proper location. If the reels between the center section and the
wing sections are closer than 4”, recheck the reel arm dimensions and adjust accordingly.
