Conservation Furrowers

The furrower can be equipped with smooth or cut-out edges. The smooth edged blades are recommended in dry soil or clod conditions. The cut-out blades are recommended in reduced tillage conditions with surface residue.

Adjust scrapers with cap screws (A) so they lightly contact the furrower blades.

Blade pitch affects lateral displacement, width of area cleared and soil profile. To obtain a sharper V-shaped soil profile, install cap screw (B) in hole (C). To obtain a flatter soil profile, place cap screw in hole (D).

NOTE: Make sure to install left-hand furrowers on left-hand side and right-hand furrowers on right-hand side.

Height affects width and depth of area cleared. To adjust the height of the furrower blades, raise and turn the adjustment knob on the tillage support bracket.

The tillage support bracket has a scale and pointer to help you adjust all the furrowers evenly.

For most conditions, adjust furrower to lightly contact soil surface when planting unit is in the planting position.

When adjustment is complete, back handle up and push down to lock in position.
