Row Implement Adjustments
To get full performance from your planter, you need a
good understanding of row cleaner, coulter, fertilizer,
opener, meter, seed firmer, and press wheel operation.
Frame-Mounted Row Accessories
Terra-Tine™ Adjustment
Refer to Figure 65
Note: All adjustments must be made with the unit in the
fully raised position.
Excess Wear Risk:
Check that the Terra-Tine Row Cleaner tines DO NOT touch
the coulter blade or any other attachments. At least
1 ⁄
2
inch
(13 mm) clearance is recommended. Tine contacts cause
excess wear to all parts involved.
1. When the blade is out of the soil, adjust the lock
collar height to set the height of tine fingers flush with
the bottom of coulter blade.
2. Side-to-side alignment can be done by rotating the
shank mount around the vertical shaft and
retightening the square head set screw.
Refer to Figure 66
3.
Fore-to-aft adjustment is accomplished by adding or
removing the extension arm
to place the
Terra-Tine Row Cleaner to either side of the coulter
hub depending on the desired position or clearance
between other attachments. Testing has shown
better performance behind the hub, but available
space may dictate the mounting position.
