Field Operation

This implement is designed to be pulled in the lowered

ﬁeld position (including wide turns). Lifting for short dis-

tances to clear residue clogs is acceptable. Lifting for

tight turns or reverse moves is required.

Equipment Damage Risk:

Lift for tight turns and reverse moves. Tight turns can result in

a section moving backward. Never back up with harrows on

the ground. If the inside tire stops or rolls backward, the turn is

tight and requires lift.
