Mounting the Roller Harrow
1. The roller sections with bearings have been factory assembled and palletized. Roller Arms and
required hardware are packed in a sturdy cardboard box.
Field Cultivator - Chisel Plow
2. Each roller section has the size stenciled on the end. There is an arrow cut into each inner plate
of each roller size. The direction of the arrow indicates the Aggressive Mode. Most mounted roller
sections are attached to implement in the Aggressive Mode. The arrows should face forward,
pointing towards the implement.
3. Lay the roller sections out behind the implement. Reference additional layout sheet for proper
location of each roller section. Mount the extension arms to the rear frame of the tool. Use the
5/8”-11 x 6 1/2” hex cap bolts and mounting plates. The Roller mounting arm is then attached
directly to the extension arm. Use the 5/8”-11 x 2” hex cap bolts. Recommendation is to leave
mounting arms slightly loose, this allows left to right movement for the mounting arm until roller
frame is attached to each pair of arms.

If there are obstacles, place the mounting arm as close to where it needs to be on the roller
section. Typically, mounting arms should be 6”-10” from each end of the roller section.
Roller sections can be moved around to better t the implement.
!
Do not over tighten bolts on one side more than the other, this will leave unleveled mounting
arms and bending of plates. Tighten all fasteners properly and evenly. Improper tightening
of bolts may cause plates to deform, which will not be covered under warranty.
!
4. Place the proper roller frame around the matching roller section. Tighten one end of the frame
to the roller. Use the 1”-8 x 3 3/4” hex cap bolts with spacer bushings, large at washers & lock
nuts. Next, determine if the thin at washer (one provided for each roller section) will easily slide
in between the frame and the end of bearing. Do not force if gap is narrower than thin at wash-
er!!! Not all sections may need this at washer. Proceed to tighten frame to roller section. Each
roller section should spin freely without bearings dragging or squeaking. Repeat this for each
roller section provided.
5. Attach a complete roller section to a pair of matching arms. Use the 1/2”-13 x 2” x 3 1/2” U-bolts
with lock washers and hex nuts. Repeat this for each section of roller. Note: Rollers sections need
a minimum of ¼” gap between the frames in the non-wing fold hinge areas. In the wing fold hinge
areas of your implement, it is recommended to have a wider gap of 2”-3” for more contoured
ground and wings that ex. Certain applications require smaller frame sizes to be bolted together.
Note: (2) 1/2” x 1 1/4” bolts are used.
6. Center the base section(s) of the roller(s) and then tighten in desired place. Then move to each
wing. Torque all bolts to recommended torque settings. See chart on page 12.

3. Lay the roller sections out behind the implement. Reference additional layout sheet for proper
location of each roller section. Mount the adapter extension arms to the rear frame or disk gang
of the tool. Use the specied hex cap bolts and mounting plates. Note: Slide adapters and tubes
forward as close as possible, this helps reduce rear end weight and rear stress on implement. The
roller mounting arm is then attached directly to the 4x4 tube supplied in this kit. Use the 5/8”-11 x
6 1/2” hex cap bolts. Recommendation is to leave mounting arms slightly loose, this allows left to
right movement for mounting arms until roller frame is attached to each pair of arms.

Setting the Roller Harrow
Roller Height and Depth
The roller harrow and all its components are tightened to the machine, it is now time to set the
roller to the desired working depth for your machine application. Several steps are involved to properly
set your roller harrow. Improper settings can cause damage to harrow, which will not be covered under
warranty. Read carefully and follow each step to correctly set your Remlinger roller harrow.
1. Determine the operating depth your implement. This is key, mounted roller harrows work best
when the depth setting of the roller harrow is approximately 2 inches. Roller harrows that are set
less than 2” have a tendency of leaving an unsatisfactory nish. Roller harrows that are set more
than 2” deep can cause premature stress on the harrow components and cause failure that will
not be covered under warranty.
2. On a hard level surface, lower the implement down onto shovels, blades, shanks, etc. With
implement resting on the ground, a formula is used to decide how thick of spacer boards are
needed to set the roller height to obtain the recommended 2” roller working depth. For example,
implement is going to be working 4” deep in the ground, to obtain a 2” roller working depth, lay 2
spacer boards on the ground underneath each end of one roller section. This spacer board should
be approx. 2” in thickness. This will be repeated for each roller section mounted. Note: Spacer
boards from roller pallets are ideal to use.
Formula:
Implement Work Depth – 2” Roller Work Depth = Spacer Thickness
Steps 3, 4 and 5 will be done simultaneously before moving onto the next roller section.
!
3. To set the height on your roller harrow, it is important to loosen all the fasteners and springs
that control the height of the arm. Loosen the 5/8” lock nut and ½” lock nut to allow arm to move
up and down freely. To decrease any spring tension from factory assembly, loosen the 5/8” jamb
nut on and turn threaded bolt counter clock-wise until spring is released of any tension.

Decrease spring tension to allow easier movement of roller arm if height needs raised or
lowered. If spring tension is set too extreme, attempting to raise and lower arm height may
cause injury.
!
4. There are 2 ways to adjust the arm up and down, Major or Minor adjustments. The Major
adjustment on eld cultivators and chisel plows will vary from that of disks and disk rippers. The
minor adjustment is done by removing the ½” bolt and arm stop spacer, locating to a higher or
lower set of holes. Set each roller section down onto the spacer boards, insert arm stop spacer
and ½” bolt back into hole setting so that a gap is underneath the arm. Tighten down the ½”
bolt with roller still on the spacer boards. This will be repeated for each roller section. Note: A
combination of both major and minor adjustments may be needed to get ideal roller height setting.
• Major – Adjust the Roller Mounting Arm up or down on the rear plate of extension.
• Minor – Move the Arm stop in the Roller Mounting Arm in the proper position.
The roller arm assembly is factory assembled and will need some kind of adjustment. Set-
tings will vary depending the implement that the roller harrow is attaching to.

5. Spring tension is a key element to having the roller harrow work properly. To accomplish this,
the following is recommended. To apply spring tension on your roller harrow, the roller section
must be still resting on the spacer boards and the tension bolt will look similar to the pictures
above. Tighten the spring by turning threaded bolt into the spring plug. When spring assembly is
snug (movement free in the arm) measure from the center of 5/8” bolt to the at face of the spring
plug, this is the starting point to apply tension to the arm. Each arm will have tension applied to it.
Each roller size will be set di󰀨erently depending the particular sizes attached onto the implement.
6. After spring tension has been set on all the arms, tighten the 5/8” jamb nut against the face of
the spring plug to lock down tension settings. See above picture. Check for any other loose bolts
and tighten before conducting any eld work. Torque all bolts to recommended torque settings.
See chart on page 12.
7.Place Remlinger Decal on harrow either top of the arm, rear of the roller cross frame or
anywhere the decal can t (optional). See Above picture for Serial # Location.
Tension Settings for Remlinger Roller Harrow Sizes
6ft-6in Roller Section…..increase spring length by……...1”
5ft-9in Roller Section…..increase spring length by……3/4”
5ft-0in Roller Section…..increase spring length by……1/2”
4ft-3in Roller Section…..increase spring length by…..3/16”
3ft-6in Roller Section…..length remains the same………0”
Note: All springs on the roller section should be changed equally.
We recommend setting the down pressure at approximately 70lb/ft. To increase or decrease
down pressure, turn bolt one complete revolution to change tension approximately 6.5lbs.
(not 6.5 lbs/ft)
!
Note: Serial # Decal is usually on the one side of the main mounting arm!

Maintenance
Roller Bearing Lubrication
Replacement Parts
• Use a #2 multipurpose lithium grease on the bearings at least once a season or every 150
hours. Pump grease in SLOWLY until old grease and dirt are forced out around seals.
Bearings are shipped pre greased for initial use.
• Before and after each use of the roller attachment thoroughly look over your attachment for
any worn, loose, stressed parts. Preventative maintenance can save time and expense to the
attachment if issues are found before heading to the eld.
It is best to lubricate bearings just prior to prolonged storage. The grease tting is a press-in
style not a threaded spin-in. Worn ttings may prevent bearings from taking grease.

Troubleshooting
Roller Harrow is leaving unsatisfactory nishing.
Roller Rotation
• Position A – Aggressive Mode produces maximum soil shattering.
• Position B – Passive Mode maintains maximum soil leveling.
Roller harrow is not shattering or leveling dirt. Incorrect soil movement.
Spring Tension
• Positive Tension – Turn the bolt into the cast end of spring, this will increase tension.
• Negative Tension – Turn the bolt out of cast end of spring, this will decrease tension.
Position A Position B
Direction of Pull
Note: If added spring tension does not give satisfactory nish, refer to Pg. 8 & Steps 3-5.
When applying more tension to spring only turn bolt head in ¼” turns at a time. Caution,
extreme spring tension will cause spring to wear prematurely and may cause other damage
to roller attachment and is not covered under warranty.
