Recommendations and Observations Regarding Operation

• When the soil has absorbed herbicides, the row cleaner working depth should be adjusted in order to minimize ground contact. This will avoid a reduction of herbicide efficiency.
• The row cleaner should not displace any soil. It should only move crop residue (straw).
• The row cleaner shows reduced performance at low planting speeds.
• Do not expect 100% straw cleaning. It would be necessary to remove some soil together with the straw to reach this rate.
• Seed row cleaning width will depend on ground conditions, seeding depth and speed.
• If the disks eventually stop rotation, check correct depth and angle adjustments, as planting on stony ground could break or bend disk teeth. Also adjust planter leveling.
• It is very important to ensure that the planting unit follows the undulating ground correctly.
• Adjust planting unit pressure set properly, to avoid excessive depth.
• On light soil or during conventional planting, the planter loses floatation and is prone to sink in. Make sure disks are rotating during planting.
