Verti-Till Field Update

Installation Instructions for use with

5, 7 and 9-Shank Verti-Till Rippers

General Information

These instructions explain how to install the Verti-Till

Field Update. These kits bring recent engineering

enhancements to several implement components.

Each kit converts an entire implement.

These instructions apply to:

If the implement is serial number 1025 or lower, contact

the factory regarding a third kit (596-183A) which is not

described by these instructions. Implement serial num-

bers above 1079 require none of these kits.

Tools Required

• basic hand tools

• Verti-Till manuals: 596-098M Operator’s

596-098P Parts

• a tractor with 2 hydraulic circuits and suitable hitch

Before You Start

Review these instructions, and make sure you under-

stand where and how the components install, and which

existing parts are removed or re-used.

Components in the two kits covered by the manual differ,

based on the serial number of your implement. Sections

speciﬁc to particular serial numbers indicate whether to

apply or skip that section.

Enough parts are included to update a 9-shank imple-

ment. There may be excess parts on 5- and 7-shank

implements.

Notations and Conventions

“Left” and “Right” are facing in the

direction of implement travel.

An orientation rose in the line art illus-

trations shows the directions of Left,

Right, Front, Back, Up, Down.

Applies to Models:

• VT5300A, VT5300R

• VT7225A, VT7225R

• VT7300A, VT7300R

• VT9225A, VT9225R

When you see this symbol, the subsequent instructions

and warnings are serious - follow without exception.

Your life and the lives of others depend on it!
