7. The subsoiler can be used to plant and dig potatoes, form ridges for other crops, and form
drainage ditches.
8. Set your 3 point hitch depth control to operate the subsoiler at the desired depth. The deeper you
operate, the greater the amount of soil you will plow or “hill-up”. In dry or hard soil conditions you
may need to make a few passes.
9. By increasing the forward speed, the further you will “throw” the soil from both sides of the
subsoiler.
10. Operate at a speed that forms the furrow or “hilling” operation you desire.
11. By adjusting the length of the 3 point top link, you can adjust the pitch of the subsoiler. In most
soil conditions, the bottom of the subsoiler should be about level or with the point down slightly.
This “pitch angle” will also determine how much soil is moved.
WARNING
NEVER allow anyone to ride while operating this equipment and keep bystanders at a safe distance.
Maintenance
1. Check all nuts and bolts and make sure they are tight.
2. Store in a clean and dry location.
3. Check points for wear and damage. Replace when necessary,
4. After seasonal use, paint the shanks and points to prevent excessive rusting during extended
non-use periods. This will reduce the scour time when you use the implement again.
