Adjusting the frame ballasting

The hydraulically actuated frame ballasting 1 is supported on the lower links 2 and transfers the weight from the tractor to the implement frame. As a result, there is an additional load on the precision airplanter and the placement depth can be maintained even under difficult operating conditions.

For maximum effect of the frame ballasting, the implement must be coupled to the highest top link point on the tractor side.

WARNING
An unexpected hydraulic function is activated

Before you actuate the tractor control unit,

check the selected hydraulic function of the Comfort hydraulic system.
NOTE
The working range is between 130 and 160.
  1. Lower the implement onto the ground.

  2. To increase the frame ballast:

    Actuate the green 1 tractor control unit

or

To reduce the frame ballast:

Actuate the green 2 tractor control unit.

The pressure gauge 1 shows the set coulter pressure.

NOTE
Depending on use, if the frame ballasting is operated with less than 130, pressure can drop autonomously.
  1. Actuate the green 1 tractor control unit. Set the desired pressure.

  2. To ensure that the frame ballasting always rests on the lower links and that there is enough ground clearance:

    Check the set pressure at regular intervals.
