– Wing lift/lower
– Tine angle adjust
• Find a location that is as level as possible.
• Ensure that the 3-Point hitch is fully raised.
• Carefully lower the harrow wings to horizontal orientation ( hydraulic remote). Ensure that
both wing cylinders are fully extended.
• Remove the lock pins from the harrow section pivots to allow the individual sections to pivot and fol-
low the ground.
• Slowly drive the tractor ahead, while lowering the 3-Point hitch the rest of the way down.
• Set the 3-Point hitch lower level limit so that the harrow section carriers are approximately 40° from
being fully horizontal.
• IMPORTANT: Do not lower the harrow wings fully down to the ground without driving ahead simul-
taneously. Damage to your rotary harrow sections could result.
• Check the level of main frame relative to the tractor. Adjust using upper link to level the main frame
and ensure all sections are engaging the ground evenly across the width of the unit.
• Ensure all harrow section chains are tight. Tighten chains using the tools provided on the main
frame of the unit if necessary.

Product Description
The RH-9222 is a vertical tillage tool designed to provide varying degrees of
soil disturbance to prepare a seedbed on minimum-till land, cut through trash and
remove small weeds, and level the soil ahead of seeding operations. The non-
driven harrow sections provide impressive soil mixing to a depth of up to 1.5” (38
mm) across a wide range of soil types. The RH-9222 can also be used post-
harvest in lighter soil conditions to mix seeds with soil promoting germination that
can be killed due to winter conditions, or chemical treatment.

• Check harrow tine tension before use. Ensure that long sections do not sag more than 1.5” (38
mm).
• Grease all pins and knuckles. (See decals locations)
• Grease harrow chain bearings.
• Visually inspect hydraulic hoses & fittings for leaks or damage.
• Visually inspect unit for loose, worn or damaged components.
• Coat any exposed cylinder shafts with thick oil or grease.
• Ensure that parking jacks are situated on firm ground. Failure to do so may cause the hitch unit to

• Always choose a level area when folding the unit in or out of transport mode.
• Lubricate all pins and bearings regularly to prevent premature failure.
• Clean hydraulic hose ends prior to coupling with tractor hydraulic system.
• The RH-9222 requires two sets of hydraulic remotes to operate the machine:
– Remote 1 – Tine angle adjust
– Remote 2 – Wing lift/lower
• Always choose a level area when folding unit either to or from transport position.
• Lubricate all pins, axles and bearings regularly to prevent premature failure of components.
With unit in field position and tine sections set to maximum aggression (40° angle) adjust the top link
of the 3-Point hitch to ensure even contact of the harrow sections across the width of the unit. After
each adjustment of the top link, drive forward at working field speed (10 to 14 mph or 16 to 23 kph) to
ensure even penetration of the sections and smooth field finish. If ridges appear between section
overlaps, adjust the upper link to correct the issue.
• If the trailing edge of the section is digging deeper than the leading edge, shorten the upper link.
• If the leading edge of the section is digging deeper than the trailing edge, lengthen the upper link.
