Manual adjustment of the tine working depth

The soil tillage implement 4 is supported by the carrying arms 2 for the trailing roller 1. To adjust the working depth, the depth setting pin 3 is inserted in the desired hole.

The edges of the depth setting pins have different distances 1. A finer graduation of the working depth is achieved by turning the depth setting pin 3. The number 2 on the handle provides information on the level.
