KUHN - Plough adjustment

for better crop yields shows you how to best adapt your tractor and plow obtaining good yields is the top consideration for all farmers success starts with good plowing preparation of the tractor should always be done in this order distance between tires tire pressures length of the tractor lower links freely movable stabilizers the correct into tire distance is essential for the tractor and plow to work together this is measured inside the two wheels from tire wall to tire wall at the widest point of the tire tread the front wheel should run in line with the center of each rear wheel during plowing each tire must be set the same pressure which is determined by the actual weight carried on the tires during work to do this please refer to the manufacturers recommended load and pressure table several hitch positions are possible the best lift linkage output is obtained in the rear position check that the lower links cannot rotate when using a reversible plow adjust the lower links so that both are at the same length this should be measured from the top pin of the height adjustment arm to the cross shaft axis you choosing the hitch position the hitch up position on the plow is chosen according to the geometry of the tractors three-point linkage the user should adjust the pickup position on the plow accordingly this diagram shows a convergence point of the three-point linkage of a four-wheel drive tractor for maximum tractive efficient it is located at the front wheel axle on the other hand for a two-wheel drive it is located at the tractors center of gravity the result is minimum tractive effort and good hole to reduce the lifting effort position the top link in the highest hole of the upper hitch hitching can be made easier by using the quick hitch cross shaft you a choice of toplink positions allows the best weight transfer to be found and to reduce lifting effort in normal and hilly conditions we recommend hitching the machine in the oblong hole and in difficult conditions in the round hole to prevent the tractor from nosing up make sure sufficient weight is fitted to the front of the tractor for a perfect hole preparing the plows non-stop hydraulic safety buddies are pressurized according to the selected release level in order to prevent drumming you remove the pins the total reduction of body pressure makes the large clearance over the obstacle visible traction bolt security ensures that all bodies are always in line with one another when changing the traction bulb don't forget to fit the nut and the counter nut in order for the safety system to break when forces are in excess of 3,000 kilograms to preset the skimmers set the distance between the moldboard point and the skimmer to that of the working depth for road transport make sure the transport wheel is used the mechanical lock ensures road safety don't forget to remove the top link lock the stabilizers and fit the lighting the transport wheel suspension offers increased driver comfort and reduce loads on the tractor and plow the full plowing in loosen stabilizers in difficult conditions the body angle can be adjusted to improve soil penetration select draft control or mix position these controls determine the plowing depth the adjustment of the plow is always carried out in the following order Det side-to-side leveling front to really first body whip after having plowed to find the perfect position in the furrow for the tractor you can now begin to adjust the plow depth the depth control wheel allows a constant depth to be maintained over the whole plow length easy adjustment without the need for a spanner is carried out using the fitted turn screw side to side leveling the side-to-side leveling is carried out without the need of a spanner by means of screw handles the plow bodies are set perpendicular to the ground the opposite screw can be adjusted symmetrically according to the work here we can see the plow is tilted over onto its back notice the small volume of soil being worked by the first body here on the other hand the plow is tilted over onto its front giving a noticeable mark on the first furrow and causing poor plow stability once the adjuster screws have been adjusted the plow should be vertical in comparison to the soil here the toppling is too long and here too short the front to rear leveling is set by adjusting the length of the top link you one set correctly plow stability and quality of work a maximized first body width when noticing a mark on the first furrow which can cause tractor and plow to crab watch the movement of the first furrow as it is adjusted to the required width in each offsetting position the ideal plow angle is automatically selected thanks to the combined offsetting angling system adjust the width of the first furrow using the mechanical or hydraulic combined offsetting angling adjuster once correctly adjusted tractor and plow work together as one constraint free combination on the master 182 series the front axle is fitted with the oxy drive hydraulic suspension that absorbs jolts on headlands and facilitate setting the machine in transport position a good regular plowing finish is the result of correctly applied adjustments the variable width system allows adaptation to all soil and plowing conditions all moving parts are integrated into the beam for added protection and increased service life features that all go towards improving the eventual crop yield the fuel consumption gauge proves how by simply turning the wheel fuel consumption increases by 2 liters don't let your fuel go up in smoke use the four-wheel drive to improve traction and lock in the differential in the event of excessive wheel slip the skimmer plays an important role in plowing quality these adjustments in three dimensions up and down forwards and backwards and side-to-side give an excellent trash burial a full range of skimmers and bodies are available to adapt to all soil conditions and to the various tire widths attention given to tractor equipment its adaptation to the plow and the correct adjustment of the plow itself all mate for greater economies in crop production costs a significant reduction in wear of working parts will be obtained as well as a reduction in fuel costs and tire wear bear in mind the good plowing is the first important step in ensuring better crop you
