Frame Mounted Coulter

The frame mounted coulter can be used to assist the TRU-VEE opener in penetrating tough soil conditions and to cut or displace residue commonly found in "double-cropping" or light to moderate "no-till" planting conditions.

The frame mounted coulter blade should be directly in front of the seed opener. To adjust the coulter blade laterally, remove cap screws (A), add or remove spacers to either side as required. Attach spacers with cap screws.

IMPORTANT: For best results, the coulter blade should not penetrate deeper than the opener blades. Adjust the coulter force and height to optimize the operation.

To adjust the depth of the coulter blade, turn cap screw (B) clockwise to raise the blade or counterclockwise to lower the blade.

In light field conditions, use the lightest setting to avoid over penetration and disturbing the seed bed in lighter soils.

In heavier field conditions found in "double-cropping" or light to moderate "no-till", install pin (A) in down force setting (B) for increased penetrating force.
