Frame Mounted Coulter

The frame mounted coulter can be used to assist the TRU-VEE ™ opener to penetrate tough soil conditions and used to cut or displace residue commonly found in "double-cropping" or "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) then add or remove spacers to either side as required. Attach spacers with cap screws.

IMPORTANT: Bottom edge of coulter blade should be approximately 10 mm (3/8 in.) above bottom edge of seed openers. (Check this dimension with machine in planting position on any level surface.) This dimension will minimize force required for penetration and help maintain a constant seed depth. In heavy straw, penetration and cutting action may be improved if bottom edge of coulter blade is positioned slightly below bottom edge of seed openers.

As blade wear occurs, coulter depth should be adjusted.

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

Use the lightest setting possible to avoid over penetrating and disturbing the seed bed in lighter soils.

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