Preparing the tractor
Wheels
- Air pressure in the tractor's rear tyres should be 0.8 bar when
working.
- Under heavy working conditions additional wheel weights can be
advantageos. See the tractor manfuacturer's operating manual
also.
Ballast weights
Sufficient ballast weights are to be
stacked on the front of the tractor
in order to guarantee steering and
braking capabilities.
At least 20% of the vehicle’s tare
weight on the front axle.
Lifting gear
- The left and right lifting struts (4) must be the same length.
Adjust using adjuster (3).
- If lifting struts (4) can be pinned at various positions on the lower
links, then select the back position (H). In doing this, the tractor’s
hydraulics will not be so greatly overloaded.
- Pin (2) upper link (1) in accordance with the manufacturer’s
specifications.
Setting-up for transportation
- Secure lower links with struts (5) so that attached implement
cannot swing out during transportation.
- The operating lever for the hydraulics must be secured against
lowering.
Hydraulic control on the lifting gear
Control position:
For mounting and dismounting
the implement and for
transportation.
The control position is the
normal setting for the lifting gear
hydraulics.
The mounted implement remains
at the height (= position) set by the servo-valve (ST).
Preparing the cultivator
Mounting axle
Install correct mounting bar on tractor’s lifting gear which
corresponds to the connecting size (Category II or III). See Spare
Parts List also.
Using additional implements.
Mount additional implements to the cultivator, such as the drillbox
(DB), according to
the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Do not overload
the cultivator. If in
doubt contact our
customer service
office.
• In addition,
observe the power
range limits of the
tractor in use.
Connecting to tractor
Safety points:
see supplement-A1 Pkt. 8a. - 8h.)

EINSTELLUNGEN 9500-GB (965)
Setting for operation
1. The implement must be attached to the tractor in a horizontal
position, it should not hang to one side.
2. The front and rear tine rows must penetrate the ground at the
same depth (working depth).
The frame should sit parallel to the ground surface as seen
longitudinally.
3. Fix the lower link (4) in such a way that the machine cannot swing
out sideways.
Equipment variants and wearing parts
Rigid tines (basic equipment)
Spring-mounted tines (optional extra)
• Can be backfitted on all types
Backfitting kit (2 & 2a)
(see spare parts list)
- Basic setting = 330 mm
Wearing parts
- are screwed to the tines and can therefore be replaced at
Overloading
Shearing screws
Tines are secured with shearing
screws.
The shearing screw (pos. 7) breaks
when overloaded and the tine swings
upward.
- Remove the shearing screw remains.
- Loosen hexagonal screw (6).
- Swing tine back to working position.
- Insert new shearing screw and tighten
both screws.
Important!
Only use genuine
shearing screws (see spare parts list) of appropriate
dimension and quality. Under no circumstances use
screws with a greater or lesser strength.
Hollow discs
- serve to level out the ground surface evenly.
Setting the hollow discs
• This setting should suit the relevant operating conditions (type
of ground, speed and straw layer on the ground).
• The required working depth
of the hollow discs is set
by
positioning the adjusting
bracket (5).
