Chapter 4 Operation and Maintenance DANGER Never allow anyone to ride on the 2000 Series Row Crop Cultivator at any time. Allowing a person to ride on the machine can inflict serious personal injury or death to that person. DANGER Coulter blades are extremely sharp. Exercise extreme care when working on or near disc blades. Do not allow discs to roll over or fall onto any bodily part. Do not allow wrenches to slip when working near disc blades. Never push wrenches toward disc blades.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Tractor Preparation Cultivator Preparation The 2000 Series Row Crop Cultivator may be used on tractors equipped with category II or III three-point hitches with quick couplers. Before attaching the cultivator, prepare the tractor as follows: The rear tractor tires should be inflated equally and ballast added according to the tractor operator’s manual. 1.

Set the tractor and cultivator on a cement or other hard, level surface, and check that the top adjustment link is greased and easy to operate. 2. Lower the cultivator until the sweeps contact the surface.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Field Operation 1. Remove the stabilizer bars or sway blocks from the drawbar assembly on the tractor. 2. Pull the cultivator a few feet at the approximate desired depth and speed you intend to maintain during use.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Disc Adjustment Disc Bearing Maintenance Adjust the disc to the proper depth and pitch to create the desired weeding effect. Discs working at different settings from each other tend to make the machine fight itself. Also, discs working too deeply into the soil tend to throw up excess dirt, resulting in root pruning, which causes the sweeps to plug. To adjust the discs (See Figure 4-5): Check all roller bearings occasionally for excess end play.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Tool Frame 3/4-10 U-BOLT 1. The length of up and down movement for the tool frame is controlled by the limit chain (See Figure 4-6) on the left side of the tool frame. If a different distance of movement is required, change the limit chain one link at a time until the desired amount of movement is met. IMPORTANT A longer limit chain setting will result in less ground clearance when the machine is lifted out of the ground. LIMIT CHAIN 7/16-14 HEX LOCK NUT Ridgers and Knives 1.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Shields WIDTH ADJUSTMENT SCREW Adjust the shields by moving the shield adjustment chain up or down one link at a time until the desired height is reached (See Figure 4-8.) The shield width can be adjusted by loosening the adjustment screws and sliding the shields in or out to the desired width. Tighten the adjustment screws. Lift Assist Wheel Adjust the optional lift assist wheel so that when the machine is in use, the lift assist wheel is lifted clear of the ground.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Tool Hold Down Springs Lubrication The hold down springs are on either side of the parallel linkage on the tool frames and are factory adjusted for most normal conditions. Tightening the springs increases the ground tool pressure. Too much pressure will shorten the life of the ground tools. See Figure 4-10 for lubrications points and recommended maintenance schedule. Hydraulic Maintenance 1.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Storage The service life of the cultivator will be extended by the following proper off-season storage practices: 1. Completely clean the unit and inspect the machine for worn or defective parts. Replace defective and worn parts, as needed, to avoid delays the following season. 2. Repaint all areas where the original paint film is worn off. 3. Grease all exposed metal surfaces of shanks, points, and coulters. 4. Lubricate as suggested in “Lubrication” on page 4-10. 5.
