Soft Ground Conditions or Previously Tilled Ground
Soft ground conditions can be performed with any of the sweeps. The 9” field cultivator sweeps
tend to work the best in these cases. These sweeps will help to fully shear the ground off and
create a true seedbed. The optional drag harrow kit (Part # 003800) can be added as well for
these conditions. The drag harrow will help to level the ground and reduce clod size. If there is
limited debris, the coulters can be remove d. With the coulters removed the two center sweeps
can be moved forward. (See Figure 7.)
