Harrow Adjustment

Figure 3-5 shows a successful harrow position for no-till

conditions. Because of different soil moisture, trash levels

and trash types, you may need to reposition the tube

frame or tines. Initially position the frame and tines as

shown in Figure 3-5, then readjust as necessary.

Tine Angle For No-Till Drilling

To adjust the frame, refer to Figure 3-6. Loosen the four

hex nuts (1) on the u-bolts and rotate the frame tube (2) as

necessary.

To adjust the tines, refer to Figure 3-6. Loosen the four

1/2-inch hex nuts (3) on the 1/2-inch u-bolts (4) on the sup-

port bar (5). Rotate tine tubes (6) so the tines (7) are

against the stop bushings (8) and are angled back as nec-

essary. Retighten hex nuts on u-bolts.

Seed-Lok

The optional Seed-Lok ﬁrming wheels provide additional

seed-to-soil contact. The wheels are spring loaded and do

not require adjusting. In some wet and sticky conditions

the wheels may accumulate soil.

To lock up the ﬁrming wheels, hook one end of the chain in

the opener-body hole just above the wheel arm. Pull the

ﬁrming- wheel arm up as high as possible and wrap the

chain around the arm. Hook the other end of the chain in a

link. Leave no slack in the chain; secure the wheel arm in

its highest position.
