OPERATION

Up to 160 Ibs. of weight may be added to help
increase penetration.
40 lb. suitcase weights can
be attached to the center weight rack, or concrete
blocks or other weights may be tied or strapped to
the cultivator tray. Before adding weight, the disc
cultivator should be attached to the tow vehicle

The disc cultivator is used to break up clods of dirt and
to uproot small weeds in plowed soil.
1 .

Before starting, make sure the soil is dry enough by
squeezing some in your hand. If it forms a ball that
doesn't crumble, the soil is too wet for discing. Wet
soil will pack between the disc blades.

with the cultivator

lowered

to the ground.

Adjust the discs to the desired angle setting. The
disc cultivator has five angle adjustment positions.
The adjustment holes are located in the center of
the tray frame, inside the weight rack. For more
aggressive
cultivating,
move to the rear adjustment position.
For less aggressive
cultivating,
move to the front adjustment position.

2,

To adjust the angle of a disc assembly, remove
the innermost 3/8" x 1-1/2" hex bolt, 1.25" washer,
and 3/8" Nylock hex nut that secures the disc
anchor strap to the tray frame. Then move the disk
assembly so that the anchor strap is lined up with
the desired adjustment hole. Install the bolt and
washer, then tighten the nut to lock in the setting.
Repeat this procedure for the other disc assembly. See figure 6.

To break up dirt clods in plowed soil, start discing
slowly at first. As the clods are broken up, the
speed may be gradually increased. Disc the soil

fittings with grease after each use.
Remove all dirt and rust. Touch up paint before
placing disc cultivator in storage.
