Preparation and Setup

This section helps you prepare your tractor and 7000Series II Disk Harrow for use, and covers tasks that needto be done seasonally, or when the tractor/Disk Harrowconfiguration changes.

Before using the Disk Harrow in the field, you must hitchit to a suitable tractor, inspect systems and level the DiskHarrow. Before using the Disk Harrow for the first time,and periodically thereafter, certain adjustments andcalibrations are required.

Prior to Going to the Field ChecklistComplete this checklist before routine setup:

Read and understand “Important Safety Informa-tion” on page 1.

Check that all working parts are moving freely, bolts are tight, and cotter pins are spread.

Make sure your tractor horsepower matches the implement you are pulling. This is important so the implement can do the best possible job.

Clean all hydraulic couplings and connect to tractor as shown on page 14.

If machine is folded, make sure the fold stop valve located on the front of the machine at the bulkhead bracket is open. Make sure no one is under the wings and slowly unfold the unit.

Check again for hydraulic leaks and watch that hoses do not get pinched in hinges, wing stops, etc.

After the machine is completely unfolded, raise and lower the Disk Harrow several times to purge air from the hydraulic system. Again check for hydraulic leaks and tighten or replace if necessary.

Check safety chain hookup. Make sure all warning lights are hooked up and functioning correctly.

Check that all grease fittings are in place and lubri-cated. See “Lubrication” on page 30. The hubs will come pre-greased and will not need greased at this time.

Check that all safety decals and reflectors are cor-rectly located and legible. Replace if damaged. See “Safety Decals” on page 4.

Inflate tires to pressure recommended and tighten wheel bolts as specified. See “Tire Inflation & War-ranty” on page 33.

Refold the machine slowly. Turn the fold stop valve to the shut position to lock the fold hydraulics. Put transport locks in place. Always use the transport locks when moving from field to field and while in storage.

You are now ready to go to the field.

Operating Instructions

This section covers general operating procedures.Experience, machine familiarity, and the followinginformation will lead to efficient operation and goodworking habits. Always operate farm machinery withsafety in mind.

Pre-Start ChecklistPerform the following steps before transporting the 7000Series II Disk Harrow to the field.

Carefully read “Important Safety Information” on page 1.

Lubricate Disk Harrow as indicated under “Lubrication” on page 30.

Check all tires for proper inflation. See “Tire Inflation & Warranty” on page 33.

Check all bolts, pins, and fasteners. Torque as shown in “Tire Inflation & Warranty” on page 33.

Check Disk Harrow for worn or damaged parts. Repair or replace parts before going to the field.

Check hydraulic hoses, fittings, and cylinders for leaks. Repair or replace before going to the field.

Perform all beginning-of-season and daily service items under “Maintenance” on page 29.

High Pressure Fluid Hazard:Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use apiece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check forleaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggleswhen working with hydraulic systems. Escaping fluid underpressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skincausing serious injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediatemedical assistance from a physician familiar with this type ofinjury.

UnfoldingUnfold the Disk Harrow for adjustments, field operations,maintenance, parking and storage.

1. Unless the Disk Harrow was folded, with thecurrently hitched tractor, only a short time ago, checkfor evidence of oil leaks. Check the ground at hitchconnections, hose fittings and under cylinders.

Crushing Hazard:Bystanders could be crushed under the wings or caught in thewing fold mechanisms. To avoid serious injury or death, keepall persons well away during Disk Harrow unfold.

2. Be aware of vertical and horizontal clearancesneeded to unfold the Disk Harrow.

3. Put tractor in Park with parking brake engaged.

4. Clear all persons from on or near the Disk Harrow.

5. Slowly move fold circuit lever to Extend. Observe theunfold operation.

6. Wait for both wings to reach the fully unfoldedposition. Set tractor remote to Neutral to lock atunfolded.

FoldingFold the Disk Harrow for movements on public roads andbetween fields with narrow clearances.

Electrocution Hazard:Avoid overhead lines when folding and transporting. Whenfolded and lifted, the Disk Harrow requires clearance of atleast 14ft (4.3m) for Models 7329 & 7333 and 15ft (4.6m) forModels 7336, which is high enough to contact low-hanginglines. Touching the Disk Harrow or tractor completes a circuitto ground, and can result in serious injury or death. At highervoltages, shock can occur without direct contact.

1. Hitch tractor (page 12).

2. Move to level ground. Be aware of vertical clearanceneeded to fold Disk Harrow.

3. Put tractor in Park with parking brake engaged.

4. Clear all persons from on or near the Disk Harrow

5. Slowly move fold circuit lever to Retract. Observe thefold operation.

6. Wait for both wings to reach the fully folded position.Set tractor remote to Neutral to hold at folded.

Crushing Hazard:Bystanders could be crushed between the folding Disk Harrowwings and the Disk Harrow center frame, or caught in thefolding mechanism. To avoid serious injury or death, keep allbystanders well away during Disk Harrow operation.

Transporting the Disk Harrow

Loss of Control Hazard:Do not tow the disk harrow behind another implement onpublic roads. Tow the disk harrow to the field with a separatevehicle. The leading implement may not provide sufficientlateral control of a trailing implement at highway speeds. Thetotal weight of the train can also exceed the steering and/orbraking capability of the tractor. The resulting accident couldcause serious injury or death.

Loss of Control Hazard:Use an adequate towing vehicle. Never tow an implement thatweights more than 150% of the towing vehicle (transportvehicle must weight at least 67% of implement). Ensure thatthe towing vehicle is adequate for the task. Using aninadequate tow vehicle is extremely unsafe, and can result inloss of control, serious injury and death.

See tables on “Specifications and Capacities” onpage 32 for Disk Harrow transport weights.

Braking and Loss of Control Hazard:Do not exceed 25/30 mph (40/48 km/h) when driving straight.Slow down on rough roads.Do not exceed 13 mph (21 km/h) in turns. The weight of theDisk Harrow can cause under-steer, and the height of the DiskHarrow is a tipping hazard.

Transport ChecklistKnow your implement weight. If tractor capabilities aremarginal, check actual weight of implement at a scale.

Before transporting the Disk Harrow check the followingitems.

1. Check that implement is securely hitched to a suffi-cient tractor (page 12).

2. Always use a locking-style hitch pin sized to matchholes in hitch and draw-bar, and rated for the load.

3. Attach safety chain to tractor with enough slack topermit turning (page 12).

4. Verify correct operation of lights.

5. Check that tires are properly inflated (page 33).

6. Plan the route. Avoid steep hills.

7. Always have lights on for highway operation.

8. Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Comply with allnational, regional and local laws when traveling onpublic roads.

9. Remember that the implement may be wider thanthe towing vehicle. Allow safe clearance.

General Operation and In-Field Adjustments1. Raise the disk completely and unfold the machine.

Make sure the fold cylinders are fully extended toallow the wings to fully flex in the field. Proceed intothe field and lower the machine to the desired oper-ating depth.

2. If satisfied, set the depth and then proceed throughthe field, observing the disk for levelness, side toside and fore to aft. Although the disk was preset,See “First time Field Adjustments” on page 16, tolevel machine. Certain field conditions can cause thedisk to vary from center to wings and front to rearwhen being pulled through the ground. A final adjust-ment may need to be made to the disk harrow.

3. If the center is running deeper because of it followingthe tractor in soft soil, the wings may need to be setin slightly deeper (with the eyebolts) and then theentire machine set slightly shallower (with depthstop).

Transport LocksRefer to Figure 12

4. The manual u-shaped locks will only lock the lift (notwings) and should be used for machinemaintenance, transport and long term storage.

Manual Gauge Wheel AdjustmentRefer to Figure 13

To change the gauge wheel setting, remove the wireretaining pin and fold gauge wheel crank up toadjust.

Manual Gauge wheel is NOT load bearing, itspurpose is only to keep the blades from gouging theground.

5. Lower or raise the gauge wheel by turning the gaugewheel crank . Raise the gauge wheels up until thedisk is adjusted in the fore-and-aft, side-to-side andto the desired working depth you desire.

6. Fold the gauge wheel crank back down in the fieldposition and reinstall the wire retaining pin .

7. As you are running the disk through the field, stopthe tractor leaving the disk in the ground. Now adjustthe gauge wheels 1 2” above the ground.

8. The gauge wheel adjustment is designed tocorrespond with the depth stop. Example: If thedepth gauge of the Disk Harrow is increased by 2revolutions of the depth stop, then the gauge wheelneeds to be raised by 2 revolutions of theiradjustment crank.

9. This position should be maintained to preventexcessive wear to gauge wheel parts.

Tractor Speed: The ideal working speed for the diskharrow is 5 to 6 mph. Working too slow may causeplugging, poor incorporation or mixing of crop residueand reduced weed kill. Running too fast may causestreaks in chemical incorporation and ridging.

Hydraulic Gauge Wheel Adjustment Hydraulic Gauge Wheels are load bearing.

Lower the machine so the blades are about 1 2” from theground. Level the center frame first and then move to thefront and adjust the eyebolts to lower/level the front ofthe machine.

The hydraulic gauge wheel is controlled by a re-phasingcylinder that is plumbed into the hydraulic lift circuit. Afterthe adjustment eyebolts are set no additionaladjustments need to be made when making changes tothe depth stop.

Thread ProtectorsRefer to Figure 14

10. Make sure thread protector bolts are in place andtight. Gang bolt thread damage may occur at hingepoint when gangs flex without protector caps. Lostcaps with no bolt may allow gang nut to becomeloose.

Adjusting and Using Tractor HydraulicsDepth ControlRefer to Figure 15

11. When you have machine level and set to the desiredworking depth, set the depth stop on the depthstop tube . This is located at the front of themachine. This will maintain a constant depth eachtime after raising and lowering machine.One full turnof the handle will change the depth approximately1 4”. Turning the crank clockwise 1 turn is a 1 4”shallower working depth. Turn 2 turns counterclockwise is 1 2” deeper working depth.

Tires must remain on the ground at all times. Wheels off theground will induce high loads on level linkage and hitch,causing premature wear and possible frame failure.

Tractor Detents12. After the depth stop on the tractor is set, in order to

preserve the life of the cylinders, it is important toproperly set the detent on the tractor. The 7000series disk harrow is equipped with re-phasing liftcylinders. These cylinders have a re-phasing port atthe top of the cylinder (end stroke). If the tractor flowrates and detents are not set properly, extreme oilflow through these ports can destroy cylinder sealscausing internal leakage.

13. Tractors with timed detents (electric over hydraulic):The flow on the tractor should be set so the disk willraise from field position to full lift in approximately 3to 5 seconds which is about 10 gpm. Not 10 on thetractor indicator. More important is the detent. Oncethe flow has been set, set the timed detent so that itis 1 2 to 1 second longer than it takes to fully lift theunit. If you set it less than this it will not properlyre-phase the cylinders. If you set it more than this,you may be causing damage to the seals.

14. Tractors with Pressure Detents: Set the flow controlso the machine raises completely in approximately3 to 5 seconds. Detent should kick out automaticallyat the end of stroke. If detent kicks out prematurely,slow the flow on the tractor. If the flow has to beslowed to the point that the unit does raise in anacceptable time frame, the detent pressure on thetractor may need to be increased. Contact yourdealer for information on how to do this. If thisproblem still persists, contact the factory servicerepresentative for other possible adjustments. Do nottry to adjust the valves on the disk harrow withoutfirst contacting the factory service rep. Tractors withpressure detents do not allow the system to"automatically" re-phase at the top of the lift cycle.This must be done manually. It is recommended thatafter every couple of trips back and forth across thefield that the raise lever be pulled back and heldthere 1-2 seconds after the machine is fully raised.This will purge any air that has been ingested intothe system.

15. Fold Cylinders: Fold cylinders are to extended fully infield position. Running the fold cylinders retractedmay cause excessive cylinder seal damage due toconstant loading from the flexing action of the wings.

Rear Attachment SettingsSpike Drag SettingsRefer to Figure 18

19. On the spike drag, start with 5 links hanging from thechain in drag arm bottom slot . (This is the startingpoint for worst conditions). The cleaner the ground,the shorter the pull chain may be pulled up. On thespike drag, one of the links in the first row ofangles is turned over. This allows the trash to startflowing through the drag easier by changing theangle of the first row of teeth. Always make sure thatthe drag is never pulling off of the hang chains. If so,shorten pull chains.

Heavy Coil Tine SettingsRefer to Figure 19

20. To adjust down pressure loosen the jam nut , and screw the spring bolt , in to put more down pressure on the drag, or adjust the bolt out to have less down pressure. Retighten the jam nut , to secure your adjustments. The spring will be pre-set to 3 - 312” of bolt left to adjust.

21. To change angle of coil tine, rotate the locking pin and move the adjustment lever forward or backwards. Moving the lever forwards towards the front of the machine will allow residue to flow through the drag easier. Moving the lever backwards away from machine makes the drag more aggressive.The adjustment lever has 4 positions and will change the coil tines several degrees.

22. Rotate the locking pin , back to its engagedposition when the desired angle is set.

Maintenance and Lubrication

MaintenanceProper servicing and maintenance is the key to longimplement life. With careful and systematic inspection,you can avoid costly maintenance, downtime, and repair.

Always turn off and remove the tractor key beforemaking any adjustments or performing any maintenance.

Crushing Hazard:Always have transport locks in place and frame sufficientlyblocked up when working on implement. You may be severelyinjured or killed by being crushed under the falling implement.

High Pressure Fluid Hazard:Check all hydraulic lines and fittings before applying pressure.Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible.Use paper or cardboard, not body parts, and wear heavygloves to check for suspected leaks. Escaping fluid underpressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin. Ifan accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance from aphysician familiar with this type of injury.

1. After using your Disk Harrow for several hours,check all bolts to be sure they are tight.

2. Keep disk scrapers properly adjusted.

3. Clean Disk Harrow on a regular basis. Regular andthorough cleaning will lengthen equipment life andreduce maintenance and repair.

4. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication” onpage 30.

5. Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safetylabels by obtaining new labels from your GreatPlains dealer.

6. Always use the manual u-channel transport lockswhen working on or doing maintenance to the 7000Series II Disk Harrow. Read and understand allsafety decals on your equipment.

7. During the first season of operation, and periodicallyafter that, check your bolts for tightness. Check diskgang bolts for loose blades. Tighten as needed.

8. Replace or rotate worn parts as needed -- hingebolts, clevis pins, bearings, blades, etc. Some Borondisc blades cannot be rolled to sharpen, they mustbe ground. Cracks and breakage will occur if rolled.The heavy blade option is rollable.

9. Check and tighten any hydraulic leaks. Check hosesfor any leaks replace any leaking hoses. It isimportant that there are no leaks on the equipment.

10. Check drag bolts for looseness or excessive wear.Replace broken or bent teeth. Your drag is animportant part of the tillage operation.

By following and maintaining a routine service andlubrication program, your tillage equipment will give youmany years of service.

End of Season11. Clean machine as much as possible. Remove all dirt

from rust prone parts like disc blades and boltthreads.

12. Check over the machine for damaged or worn parts.Replace or rotate worn parts as needed--hinge bolts,clevis pins, bearings, blades, etc.

13. Check all bolts for tightness. Tighten as needed.

14. Check and tighten or replace any hydraulic leaks.Check hoses for any leaks.

15. The wheel bearings should be cleaned and repackedannually or every 2500 acres.

16. Remove the gang bolt thread protector caps andcheck gang nut torque (900 to 1100 ft-lbs). Clean outany dirt on castle nut and threads. Use Anti-Seize onthe gang bolt threads before tightening castle nut.

17. Grease the Disk Harrow in all locations shown in thelubricating section.

18. If stored outside, place a protective coating of greaseor "plow paint" on all earth working parts to preventrusting.

19. If storing outside, unfold Disk Harrow to preventwater entry into wing gang bearings.

20. If you are storing Disk Harrow unfolded, remove foldcylinder clevis bolts, block up cylinder and fullyretract cylinder rods. This will extend the life of thecylinder seals and reduce internal leaks.

21. Place boards under the disk gangs and lower theDisk Harrow to the ground retracting the liftcylinders. If disk is folded, remove transport locksbefore lowering disk.

Beginning of Season22. Hitch the tractor to the Disk Harrow and connect the

hydraulic hoses.

23. Check fold and lift cylinders for leaks that could havecaused air to enter cylinders. If leaks are noticedrepair cylinders and fully purge air from cylinders byunpinning cylinder, block up and fully cycle cylindersback and forth several times.

Unfolding machine with air in cylinders may cause death ormajor machine damage. Pin cylinders to wings and slowlyunfold machine.

24. Slowly raise the machine a couple of times to its fullheight and hold lever for 10 to 15 seconds to purgeair from lift cylinders.

25. If machine was not serviced and greased at end oflast season, perform steps 9 thru 14 from End ofSeason section.

26. Make sure all moving parts move freely and do notbind.

27. Take the time to read the operators manual andrefresh yourself with the safety information andoperating instructions.

28. It is the owner’s responsibility to see that alloperators of the Disk Harrow know the safety andoperating information found in this manual.

NPT - National Pipe ThreadNote tapered threads, no cone/flare, and no O-ring.

Apply liquid pipe sealant for hydraulic applications.Do not use tape sealant, which can clog a filter and/or plug an orifice.

JIC - Joint Industry Conference (SAE J514)Note straight threads and the 37 cone on “M” fittings (or 37 flare on “F” fittings).

Use no sealants (tape or liquid) on JIC fittings.

ORB - O-Ring Boss (SAE J514)Note straight threads and elastomer O-Ring .

Prior to installation, to prevent abrasion during tightening, lubricate O-Ring with clean hydraulic fluid.Use no sealants (tape or liquid) on ORB fittings.

ORB fittings that need orientation, such as the ell depicted, also have a washer and jam nut (“adjustable thread port stud”). Back jam nut away from washer. Thread fitting into receptacle until O-Ring contacts seat. Unscrew fitting to desired orientation. Tighten jam nut to torque specifica-tion.
