Furrower Disc Adjustments
Adjustments are provided for disc height, spread, angle
and cant.

Sharp Object Hazard:
Be cautious when working near the lister. The edges of the
furrower discs may be sharp.

Refer to Figure 27 and Figure 28

Furrower Disc Angle
This setting needs to be adjusted for your furrow profile
and conditions. The other furrower adjustments are often
satisfactory at their factory settings.

Loosen the nuts at the slot bolts

and the pivot bolts

,

top and bottom (8 fasteners total).

Set the disc angle as desired. Re-tighten nuts.

Furrower Disc Height
The factory default setting is notches

up, anchor

weldment-low (mounting bolts in upper holes of anchor
weldment

), and channels

/disc-mounts

centered

on each other.

If it is necessary to change the furrower height, first see if
the channel/mount adjustment suffices. Loosen both
nuts

on one disc side. Slide the mount

up or down

on the channel

. Re-tighten.

To adjust up to

1

2

inch (2.5 cm) lower, dismount the

anchor weldment

and invert it (notches

down).

If it is necessary to move the anchor weldment, it may
also be necessary to disturb the angle adjustments to
gain access to the mounting nuts

and bolts.

Furrower Disc Spread and Cant
In addition to height, loosing the nuts

for the

channels

/disc-mount

connection also provides

adjustment for spread (distance between discs) and cant
(vertical disc angle). Be sure to note and restore the
height set at this interface.
