Operating Instructions
2.6.4 Hitching a Rear Roll to
the X-Press
Follow procedure 2.4 (page 16) to couple a
tractor to the X-Press. Once the tractor is
safely connected to the implement and in its
folded setting, raise the machine fully clear of
the ground.
1. Reverse the X-Press up to the roller.
2. Align the X-Press and roller drawbars,
lower the X-Press 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 X-Press, 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 X-Press.
6. Fully raise the X-Press and the roll clear
of the ground.
7. Check that all transport straps / devices
are fitted.
2. Transportation / Installation
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 18
MPH (25 KPH).
2.6.3 Changing from Work to
Road Transport (X-Press
Towed Behind a Disc Harrow)
1. Remove the disc harrow wing locking
bolts.
2. Operate the hydraulics to raise the disc
and X-Press.
3. Operate the hydraulics to fold the wings
on both the disc harrow and the X-
Press.
4. 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 X-Press 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.
