4.0 Operation and Adjustment 4.1 Operation Before attaching the Low Disturbance Subsoiler to a tractor is essential that the stands are in the down position to ensure a short top link once attached. Once attached securely to the tractor the machine can then be raised and the stands lifted out of the way. When the machine is removed from the tractor it is equally as important to leave the machine on the stands. Due to the physical nature and weight distribution of the Sumo LDS a category three enclosed ball top link is highly recommended as the best option for dealing with the exaggerated...

4.3 Auto Reset hydraulic circuit 1) To lift the legs up and out of the work position; pressurize line B (the lower of the two hoses entering the valve block & marked “B” on the valve itself). The legs will lift as oil is returned to the tractor through Line A. 2) To lower the legs back down and into the work position; pressurize line A, the legs will lower one by one. Keep pumping until all of the legs come to a stop at the end of their stroke. Keep pumping for a few more seconds and the two lines will then pressure up. Keep an eye on the gauge on the right hand side of the machine as this...

5.0 Maintenance The packer bearings should be greased with one pump once a week and after washing off. The disc bearings should be greased until old grease is forced out once a week when in normal use and after washing off. The condition of the subsoiler legs, the points and the discs should be regularly monitored in order to maintain the most efficient use of the machine. The condition and position of the packer scrapers should also be observed in order to prevent soil building up on the packer. Ensure the scrapers are not touching the packer though, as this will add rolling resistance as...
