M0296 - MACH TILL 302|362 (REV. 2/20)
Operation
1. Re-phase and cycle oil in the Depth Control Cylinders
(Wheels #1 and Rollers #2) before use. This is
especially important after long periods of storage.
2. Place the Transport Cylinders
(#3) into the FLOAT position
before operation.
IMPORTANT:The Transport
Cylinders MUST be in the FLOAT
position for the Mach Till to
contour properly and to avoid
possible cylinder or equipment
damage.
IMPORTANT:Operator must read and understand
the tractor manual in order to place the required
hydraulic circuits into float position.
3. Wing Cylinders (#4): During operation, the wing
circuit hydraulics need to be engaged constantly
from the tractor, in the extended direction. This will
ensure constant down pressure is applied to the
wings and the machine can still contour over uneven
terrain effectively.
IMPORTANT:Operator must read and understand
the tractor manual in order to place the required
hydraulic circuits into constant pressure position, in the
correct direction.
4. IDEAL OPERATING SPEED is 10-12 mph.
Minimum operating speed is 8 mph.
Maximum operating speed is 14 mph.
5. When making headland turns, the operator may
wish to slightly raise the disc sections by activating
the Wheel (#1) or Roller (#2) cylinders (or both).
Remember to lower after coming out of the turn.
6. Each time you start a new field you may need to
adjust the cutting depth depending on the type of
crop residue or soil conditions. The operator can
adjust the cutting depth by raising/lowering the front
or rear sets of discs by following the guidelines in the
“Setting Disc Depth” section.
OPERATING GUIDELINES
FACTORY DISK SETUP
7. After making adjustments to the cutting depth it is
recommended to bring the Mach Till up to speed
(10-12mph) to test the depth setting by driving about
100m (cutting performance changes dramatically
from a slow speed to high speed). Stop, check depth
and cut of field, re-adjust the height higher or lower,
if needed, based on your preference. Remember:
Removing a 1/4” stop lowers cutting depth 1/2”
deeper, Adding a 1/4” stop raises discs up 1/2”
higher.
8. Harder, packed soil may require additional passes
for optimum results. It is recommended to do a
second pass at an angle to the original pass.

Operation
DEPTH SETTING OVERVIEW
Adjusting the cutting depth of the front and rear
discs is accomplished by adding or removing a
number of spacers from specified cylinders.
The spacers limit the stroke distance of the cylinders,
changing the amount that the front and rear of the
disc frames are lowered.
Each spacer that is added to the cylinders raises
the frame height by 1/2”. Therefore, to lower discs
deeper into the soil, you would remove one spacer
for each 1/2” of depth change required.
A typical recommended penetration depth of 2” is
suggested for both front and rear discs. This depth,
however, can be adjusted to the operators needs
and preferences or based on different crop varieties
and soil conditions.
Some operators may also prefer to adjust the front
or rear frame disc sections to run slightly higher
than the other. Adjustments to the front or rear disc
sections are done individually:
• Adjust the front disc height by adding/removing
spacers to the two outer wing end wheel cylinders.
• Adjust the rear disc height by adding/removing
spacers to the two outer rear wing roller cylinders.
NOTE: As the discs wear with usage, the disc depth
settings will also need to be adjusted accordingly.
Use the following as a guideline for setting depth:
1. Drive the Mach Till onto level ground. For initial
setup, try "12 Spacers" on each cylinder stop.
2. Fully retract the Wheel (#1) and Roller (#2)
cylinders to lower rear frame to ground.
3. Check the penetration depth of the front and
rear row of discs. Take note of how much you
would like to raise or lower both the front and
rear disc sections - round to the nearest 1/2”.
4. Fully raise the frame back off the ground by
extending the Wheel (#1) and Roller (#2)
cylinders.
5. Adjust Front Disc height at the two outer wing
end wheel cylinder positions.
Lower Front Discs - Remove one spacer for
each 1/2” you want to Lower it.
Raise Front Discs - Add one spacer for
each 1/2” you want to Raise it.
6. Adjust Rear Disc height from the two outer wing
roller cylinders positions.
Lower Rear Discs - Remove one spacer for
each 1/2” you want to Lower it.
Raise Rear Discs - Add one spacer for
each 1/2” you want to Raise it.
7. Repeat above procedure until proper depth is
achieved.

SETTING DIRT DEFLECTOR ARM DISTANCE
The Dirt Deflector Arm has multiple extension settings.
The position can be adjusted to the operator's
preference depending on the disc/frame pitch settings
and soil conditions. For example, if the deflector is
plugging or restricting the flow of dirt and trash, you
may wish to move the deflector arm outward.
HeightHeight
AdjustmentAdjustment
WING FRAME OUTER END ADJUSTMENT
Some operators may prefer to adjust the outer wing
frame corner depth if they find that it is running deeper
or shallower than the level of the center frame. There
is a threaded rod on the End Wheel Cylinder (both LH
and RH sides) that will allow adjustments to this height:
• Lengthening adjustment rod length:
- Raises the outer wing
• Shortening adjustment rod length:
- Lowers the outer wing
DISENGAGING THE DIRT DEFLECTOR
The Dirt Deflector may be rotated into a disengaged
position by following these simple instructions:
- Remove the pin securing the deflector arm.
- Pull out the deflector arm only far enough to where
the round pipe is connected to the square tube.
(Note: The round pipe section is only 6" long.
If you pull it out too far, it will fall out.)
- Rotate the deflector arm upward to either the 90° or
180° position, as desired. (See Below)
- Re-install the pin to secure
deflector arm in place.
If preferred, the deflector arm could also be completely
removed and stored by pulling the pin and removing.
90°
180°
PROCEDURE TO SET DEFLECTOR HEIGHT:
IMPORTANT:You may need to adjust the deflector
height according to soil penetration. Best setting is when
deflector runs just slightly above the ground.
The following is a recommended procedure to set the
height of the dirt deflector:
1- Run the machine with discs set to the proper depth.
2 - Stop the machine.
3 - Adjust the height so the deflector is running just
slightly above the ground.

as close to centered as possible
in the roller groove & that no
scrapers are touching the sides
of the rubber roller. (Ideally there
should be a 1/4" gap)
If adjustment is needed, loosen the
scraper arm clamps and adjust position until there is
proper clearance on all edges. You may need to slightly
adjust engagement distance if side-to-side is unsuccessful.
Loosen Clamps to Adjust Side to Side
Needs Adjustment
1/4" Gap Both Sides
Loosen the top bolt to
adjust, then hold in place
while re-tightening.
INDIVIDUAL SCRAPER ARM ADJUSTMENT
The individual scraper arm
position can also be fine
tuned by loosening the top
mounting bolt, adjusting
the position, and then
"holding in place" while
retightening the bolt.
Hole for holding

position.
SETTING SCRAPER POSITION
Change into Storage Position:
• Loosen & remove the 4 bolts (2 per arm).
• Rotate section upward to new position.
• Reinstall bolts and tighten in place.
• Reverse procedure to put into working position.
Change into Maintenance Position (from engaged):
• Loosen the 4 bolts (2 per arm).
• Rotate section upward until top hole is open.
• Tighten bolts to secure and/or
insert bolt or insert pin (user supplied)
into top hole to secure in position.
Change into Engaged Position (from maintenance):
• Loosen the 4 bolts (2 per arm).
• Rotate section down until scraper blades are set
to proper distance from inner roller groove.
(1/4" to 3/8" is the recommended distance)
• Tighten bolts to secure in position.

Troubleshooting - Mach Till 30/36
Not folding up for transport:
- Ensure hydraulic coupler has not disengaged or try a
different tractor hydraulic port.
- Check for hose or fitting leaks.
- Tractor hydraulic system should have 2800 psi.
- Hydraulic fluid bypassing piston seals in one or both
hydraulic cylinders. (Replace cylinder or re-build with
new seals).
- Excessive mud built up on frame & rollers. Clear off
frame raise discs all the way up & drive 12-14 mph
on firm soil to clear rollers.
Restriction or blocking on right side:
- Raise the deflector plate.
- Raise working depth of adjustable disc.
- Raise machine working depth.
- Reduce operating speed slightly.
- Extend right hand wheel adjustment to lift end of wing.
- Check condition & operation of disc hubs (make sure
they turn freely).
- Wait for soil conditions to dry out more.
Rear discs or roller not engaging in very
hard soil:
- Adjust pitch so front discs are higher by adding two
depth stops or more to wheel cylinders only (It may
be necessary to lower overall machine depth also).
- Momentarily take out of float & extend transport
cylinders to simulate a rigid hitch (flat ground only).
Re-engage float as soon as possible to avoid possible
equipment damage.
Tractor oil temperatures are too high:
- Lower the flow on the wing circuit hydraulic remote.
(Please refer to the Tractor's Operators Manual)
Mud not clearing from rubber rollers:
- Check scraper to roller distance & adjust if necessary
(scraper should be 1/4" to 3/8” from roller).
- Check scraper plate wear & adjust or replace as
necessary (replace all scrapers per row at the same time).
- Check scraper row adjustment for slippage &
re-torque or replace hardware if necessary.
Roller plugged in wet conditions:
- Retract transport cylinders to pass over pushed up
mound & smooth out when soil dries.
- Raise discs all the way up & drive 12-14 mph on firm
soil to clear rollers.
- In certain wet soil conditions place scrapers in storage
position to continue operating.
- If plugging persists wait for soil conditions to dry out
even more.
Roller skidding in wet conditions:
- Check scraper operation & settings.
- Raise machine working depth.
- Adjust pitch so rear discs are slightly higher & raise
machine working depth.
- Momentarily take out of float & extend transport
cylinders to simulate a rigid hitch (flat ground only).
Re-engage float as soon as possible to avoid possible
equipment damage.
- Wait for soil conditions to dry out more.
- Check condition & operation of bearings on both ends
of the rollers.
Plugging disc rows in wet conditions:
- Ensure roller is turning & scrapers are set properly.
- Raise machine working depth.
- Increase operating speed slightly.
- Adjust pitch so front discs are slightly higher
(add one more depth stop plate to wheel cylinders).
- Fully extend wheel & roller depth cylinders & hold for
30 seconds to re-phase.
- Check condition & operation of disc hubs (make sure
they turn freely).
- Wait for soil conditions to dry out more.
Leaving a ridge or a groove between rollers:
- Adjust ridge wiper down slightly to remove ridge.
- Adjust ridge wiper up slightly to eliminate groove.

Troubleshooting - Mach Till 30/36
Leaving a ridge or a groove between passes:
- Adjust deflector up to reduce ridge.
- Adjust deflector down to fill groove.
- Set right rear adjustable disc lower if there is a ridge.
- Set right rear adjustable disc higher if there is a groove.
- Check that end disc size configuration matches factory
suggested setup.
- Reduce implement width on guidance for slightly more
overlap.
Subsoil leaving a groove/ridge every 10”:
- Adjust pitch to level machine (disc rows are not set to
the same depth).
- Adjust pitch to lower/raise rear disc row (front is
prone to running deeper with floating hitch & firm soil
conditions).
- Rear discs following in front disc groove (see
troubleshooting for this below).
End of wing discs cutting deeper or
shallower than center:
- Fully extend wheel & roller depth cylinders & hold for
30 seconds to re-phase.
- Adjust the threaded rods on the end wheels:
• Lengthen to lift end of wing if cutting deeper.
• Shorten to lower end of wing if cutting shallower.
- Check for same number of depth control plates used
on each side.
- Adjust the wing down pressure valve using an allen
wrench. IMPORTANT: Do not exceed 1400psi or
mechanical damage will occur.
Hopping or leaving waves:
- Change operating speed (best performance is
achieved over 10 mph).
- Change field working angle (best finishing at 5 to 20
degrees off previously worked).
- Adjust working depth (deeper & run slower or
shallower to run faster).
- Pre-work heavy trash or wet areas at a slower speed
& at a different angle than final pass.
- Wait for soil conditions to dry out more.
- Ensure the wing circuit hydraulic remote is constantly
engaged in the extended direction.
Tracking to the left:
- Add a depth stop to wheel cylinders to
adjust the pitch so the front disc is higher.
- Reduce implement width on guidance
system for slightly more overlap.
- Adjust implement offset on guidance
system to the right.
Tracking to the right:
- Add a depth stop to roller cylinders to
adjust the pitch so the rear disc is higher.
- Reduce implement width on guidance
system for slightly more overlap.
- Adjust implement offset on guidance
system to the left.
Rear discs following in front disc cut or discs
not doing a full cut:
- Adjust tracking by changing implement pitch.
- Adjust entire front row of disc gangs in small
increments either left or right to achieve full cut.
- Check disc wear & adjust gang spacing or replace
discs as necessary (as discs wear move front row
right).
- Check factory settings on disc row locations to verify
gang clamp hardware is tight & clamps have not slipped.
- Adjust GPS to actual cutting width (see chart) minus 6”
overlap per side depending on working depth.
Note: Also consider adjusting the GPS settings
to include a 6" implement offset to the right.
(with 20" discs) 2" Depth MAX Depth
Mach Till 30 352” (8.95m) 355” (9m)
Mach Till 36 431” (10.95m) 434” (11m)
- Adjust working angle to approximately
20 degrees to the right from previously
worked or seeded rows.
