Frame Mounted Coulter

The frame mounted coulter can be used to assist the TRU-VEE ™ opener to penetrate tough soil conditions and 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 side-to-side, remove cap screws (A) then move spacers from one side to the other as required. Re-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 depth of the coulter blade, turn cap screw (B) clockwise to raise blade or counterclockwise to lower blade.

Use the lightest setting possible to avoid over penetrating and disturbing 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.
