safely connected to the implement and in its
folded setting, raise the machine fully clear of
the ground.
1. Reverse the CultiPress up to the roller.
2. Align the CultiPress and roller drawbars,
lower the CultiPress to the ground and
depressurise the lift hydraulics.
3. Raise / lower the axle as required to
align the respective machines‘
drawbars and couple together.
4. Couple the rear roll to the lift circuit of
the CultiPress, ensuring that the hoses
are connected to the corresponding
circuit on the trailing machine.
5. Couple the rear roll wing (fold) circuit to
the wing (fold) circuit of the CultiPress.
6. Fully raise the CultiPress and the roll
clear of the ground.

and across side slopes. Higher drawbar
loading can be achieved by shortening the
drawbar cylinder.
Prior to leaving the field to travel on a public
highway ensure that any clods of soil are
removed from the machine to prevent them
from fouling the road.
MAXIMUM ROAD TRANSPORT SPEED 16
MPH (25 KPH).
2.6.3 Changing from Work to
Road Transport (CultiPress
Towed Behind a Disc Harrow)
1. Operate the hydraulics to raise the disc
and CultiPress.
2. Operate the hydraulics to fold the wings
on both the disc harrow and the
CultiPress.
3. Fit the transport straps to both
machines.
It may be necessary to shorten the
levelling springs until the top frame
of the disc harrow is horizontal or
slightly nose down before moving the
machines.
Shortening the CultiPress drawbar cylinder
will increase the loading on the rear of the disc
frame. If necessary this can be used to level
the disc top frame for road transport.
