1.2

Harrow bar (only for mounted machines)

1. Integrated reversing protection:

If a harrow is caught in the ground when reversing, the

whole harrow bar can turn to the direction of travel, thanks

to the bearing around the pin (1). This prevents harrow

from breaking off.

2. Harrow wear:

The integrated reversing protection has a further storage

position (2). Insert the pin in position (2) when the harrow

in position (1) can no longer touch the ground.

Note:

Always insert both pins, left and right on

the harrow bar, in the same position.

3. Lateral movement:

The track of every single harrow can be adjusted on the

harrow bar because of their individual mounting.

Loosen both screws (3) on the required harrow and slide

it sideways.

4. Fitting additional harrows or removing single

harrows:

Fit or remove harrows using the the screws (3).

HARROW BAR GB

5. Setting the harrow tilt:

Adapt the harrow tilt to the ground using the hole pattern

(4). The further the pins are set back in the hole pattern

(in the direction of travel), the flatter the harrow.

Note:

Always insert both pins, left and right on

the harrow bar, in the same position.

6. Adjusting the distance of the bar to the trailing

implement.

Depending on the trailing implement being used, there

is an ideal position (a, b, c) for the harrow bar which not

only recognizes the soil working quality, but also the force

affecting the headstock.
