3) Turn the transport wheel’s
spindle over so the wheel
leans out (both sides).
4) Back-up slowly. The wings will open up. Ensure there is lots of
room behind and to the sides. Back-up evenly so you don’t
damage the transport wheels.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to backup evenly to avoid serious
damage to the transport wheels.
6) If the auto-fold latch(s) still haven’t closed, slowly back up just
a bit more. It should then snap shut and be fully engaged.
ATTENTION: Before driving forward make sure both
latches have fully engaged or serious damage to the
machine will result.

5) With wings fully opened, lower harrow sections to the ground
by extending the auto-fold lift cylinders.
The Auto-Fold cable will loosen
and the auto-fold latch should

CSetting Tine Angle, Pressure & Frame
NOTE: Strawmaster®can have either manual or hydraulic adjustment. Trailer height & tine angle are set by either ratchet/sidewind jacks or hydraulics.
When trailer height is set correctly,
it will be even with harrows and...
Front & back tines apply equal pressure Front tines not applying pressure Front tines applying too much pressure
If trailer is too high... If trailer is too low...
Hydraulic or Manual (with the use of two ratchet jacks, located on trailer wheel arms)
Trailer Height Adjustment
To manually adjust trailer height:
• Begin with the machine in field position. Make sure the tine angle has been set (if necessary).
• Using the ratchet jack handle for adjustment, adjust ratchet jacks evenly until tines are set to the desired height.
• When adjustments are complete, check that the trailer frame is parallel to the ground.
• If not, adjust clevis height and re-check. Repeat if necessary.
Tine Angle Adjustment
There are no standard angles for running the tines, the operator may
adjust the tine angles as needed to achieve desired results.
Manual models - Use the manual jacks
located on each harrow section. Start
at one end, set as desired. Set all the
other sections to the same setting.
(Manual shown)
Hydraulic models - Retract
rephasing tine angle
cylinders to raise tines.
Extend cylinders to lower.
Note: Actual settings will vary
with tine wear. Ensure trailer
and frame are leveled properly.
(Refer to Height Adjustment)
Wing Beam Height Adjustment
• The Wing beams and Center beam
should be at the same height, parallel to
the ground.
• Adjust the wing beam height when the
tine angles are adjusted, the trailer height
is adjusted, or as the tines wear down.
Manual models:
Use the manual jacks
to raise or lower the
wing beam section until desired
height/level is achieved.
Fine Adjustment
Hydraulic models:
Adjust the fine adjustment
rod located on the top of
the endwheel linkage until
desired height/level is
achieved.
Remember When Operating:
• Straw should be dry.
• A speed of 8 to 12 MPH (12 to 16 KPH) is suggested
to efficiently shatter and spread straw and residue.
• The harrow sections can be set in float position, where
the section drags the ground under its own weight.
• If machine leaves clumps of straw, apply slight down
pressure by extending hydraulic lift cylinders.

The following are suggested tine angle settings only, adjust as required:
Refer to Operator’s Manual for more suggested tine angle setting info.
1) Turn the transport wheel’s spindle over so the rear transport tires will be completely upright (both sides).
2) Operate the lift hydraulics to fully raise the harrow sections.
3) Carefully drive forward. The wing beams should fold back into transport position.
4) Install the frame transport pins (both sides). On hydraulic models, also install the cylinder transport pins (both sides).
5) On the 50’ model with a telescopic truss beam, shorten length into transport position and secure with pin.
6) Ensure SMV sign and reectors are cleanand lights are working. Follow all local transport laws when transporting.

* Refer to operators manual for complete safety and operation info.
Hydraulic models - Re-syncronize the tine section cylinders by fully
extending the rephasing cylinders and holding for 30 seconds.
This should be repeated a few times daily or as needed.
