Adjusting Uneven Gang Penetration

In certain soil conditions, less penetra tion on left front and/or right rear gang carriers may occur. The following adjustments can be made to equalize disk blade penetration:

1. Move drawbar to left to reduce force against front gang disk blades.

2. Reducing front angle will decrease amount o f soil thrown by front gang, equalizing amount of soil being moved by rear gangs.

3. Too much angle will cause the gang to bulldoze and the soil will not flow through the disk blades.

4. Letting transport wheels roll without gauging disk depth will stabilize front and rear gang penetration.

5. The ideal situation is for the front and rear gangs to have close to equal amounts of angle so they both plow to the same depth.
