6. ATTACHING OF THE MACHINE TO THE TRACTOR
Before attaching machine to the tractor, the following cares should be taken.
1. The power of the tractor should be convenient to the machine which
mentioned in technical specification.
2. Air pressure in the tractor’s tires must be sufficient.
3. It is inconvenience within motion area of lifting levers.
4. It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor and the equipment
while adjusting the middle lever.
5. It is absolutely forbidden in space between the tractor and the equipment
with engine running and without hand brake pulled.
6. If your machine has hydraulic system the both side of system should be
under pressure while connecting the hydraulic hoses of machine to
tractor’s hydraulic system.
7. If your machine has an electric system, electric and sensor connections
should be connected safely.
The following routine procedure must be followed for attaching the machine to
the tractor.
1. Place the plough duly levelled on the flat piece of land.
2. Reverse the tractor to the plough (Do not drag the plough up the tractor)
3. Attach the left arm of the tractor to the plough first.
4. Attach the central arm to the plough. To attach, turn the screws on both
sided to an equal length. If the arm is too short or too long, turn the screw
to adjust both at the same time until aligned with the hole on the central
arm.
5. To attach the lower right arm, turn the screw until the mounting pin is at
the same level as the hole on the tractor arm. If the gap between hole and
mounting pin is too close or too distant, turn the control arm in or pull it
away to appropriate distance. You may have to adjust both height and
distance at the same time. When the hole at tractor arm and mounting pin
are eve, insert the pinin the hole and lock it with the lynch pin.
6. After attaching the plough lift it and adjust the control arm parallel to the
ground. When you look from both rear or sideways, the disc should all be
touching the ground uniformly.
NOTE –
1. The plough will work best when the right wheel of the tractor is inside the
previously ploughed furrow. Readjust the plough alignments again if
necessary.
2. To get good results from the plough discs should be replaced when their
diameter is reduced to 22”.
6.1 TRANSPORTING OF THE MACHINE AND THE STABILITY
OF THE TRACTOR AND THE MACHINE DURING
TRANSPORT
1. Comply with transport regulations and highway limits.
2. When driving on public roads, pay attentions traffic lights and indicators.

15
3. Any transport accessories must be provided with suitable signs and
guards.
4. It is very important to remember that road holding capacity as well as
direction and braking capacity can be influenced, sometimes considerably
by equipment being either carried or towed.
5. When taking bend, calculate centrifugal force and centre of gravity will
shift depending on whether equipment is being carried or not.
6. For transport adjust and fasten side lever chain. Lock hydraulic lifting
control lever.
7. For displacements beyond working area, equipment must be placed in
transportation position.
8. When dimensions of carried or partially carried equipment conceal
tractor’s signalling and lighting devices, these must also be installed on
equipment itself, in conformity with regulations of highway of country
involved. When in operation make sure that lighting system is in perfect
working order. It is also important to remember that correct signalling
sequence of headlights includes.
6.2 Tractor Stability and Lifting Capacity Check
When machine is jointed to tractor, It becomes an integral part of it. Attached
equipment’s weight is closely related with road position and stability of tractor. In
normal conditions, it is assumed that 20% of tractor weight is carried by front axle.
In this case, attached equipment’s weight should not be greater than 30% of
tractor weight. This factor can be summarized in following formulas:
When machine is attached to tractor, front weights should put through above
mentioned formula. These weights should be calculated according to capacity of
tractor’s lifting weight and packing.
7 USAGE OF MACHINE
In order to get the better results, the following adjustments are necessary:
7.1 CUTTING ANGLE ADJUSTMENTS
Discs would not cut if they are rolled straight ahead. They must be set at an
angle. Provision is made in the plough standard for the adjustment of the
horizontal disc angel and vertical tilt angle to obtain optimum disc operation in

16
different soil conditions. Depending on soil type, vegetation or humidity, the disc
has several adjustments:
A ) Disc angle is the angle which the plain of cutting edge makes with the line of
travel. It is normally 42 –47. Reducing this angle increases the disc rotation with
respect to ground speed and reduces the tendency of the plough to over cut.
Increasing the disc angle improves the disc penetration.
B ) Tilt Angle is the angle which the plain of the cutting edge makes with the
vertical line. It ranges from 15 –25. Increasing the lilt angle improves disc
penetration inheavy, sticky soils.Decreasing the tilt angle improves disc
penetration inloose and brittle soils.
7.2 WIDTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
Every disc plough has a particular width of cut ranging from 18-25 cm’s
depending on the diameter of the blade. However to suit various draft and
penetration requirements the width of the cut for the front disc can be adjusted
with the help of drawbar. Drawbar has an index line which can be lined up with
different (1,2,3) markings on the drawbar carrier as shown.
7.3 LEVELING THE PLOUGH
The level of the plough is controlled by the tractor top link. If the rear end of the
plough beam is on higher level than the front end of the beam, lengthen the top
link. If rear end of the plough beam is on lower level than the front end, then
shorten the top link. Lateral levelling is controlled by adjusting the length of the
tractor right lower link. These adjustments must be made with the plough prior to
operation.
7.4 SCRAPPER ADJUSTMENTS
Scrappers are set low enough to catch and turn the furrow slice before it falls
away from the disc. For deeper ploughing, the scrapper has to be set a little
higher. For sticky soils, set them closer to the disc. The research study data
reveals that mould board type scrapper performs the best, but in sticky soils use
of hoe type scrapper is better.
7.5 DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Plow depth adjustment can be done either by the hydraulic of the tractor, or by
the discs angle and/or by the guide wheel spring bolt.
7.6` GUIDE WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The guide wheel, besides permitting more and better penetration of the disc
blades, is also responsible for the tractor and plough, acting as a rudder,
avoiding lateral deviations.
Adjust the guide wheel, so that is stays in the same direction of the hitching tower
of the tractor’s 3rd point, and the axle should be at 20 mm in figure -
When making the first stroke (run), with the plough, try to line the guide wheel up,
not taking in consideration if any disc blade of the plough doesn’t penetrate what

17
is important is that the last disc blade performs the desired depth, adjusting it by
the guide wheel spring bolt (1) in figure - .
When making the second stroke, when the tractor tyre gets into the furrow, then
the final plough adjusting should be done. If the tractor tends to the right side,
adjust the guide wheel to the right direction, if the tractor tends to the left, adjust
the guide wheel to the left direction, by opening or closing it.(Figure - )
8 DETACH OF THE MACHINE FROM THE TRACTOR
1. Park the tractor on a flat surface, pull the handbrake and put the wheel
chock to tires.
2. Hydraulic arms of tractor should be alignment.
3. Lower the machine by means of the tractor hydraulic arms.
4. Wind up the machine support leg and insert the safety pin.
5. If your machine has shaft dismount the shaft from tractor.
6. If your machine has hydraulic hoses depressurize the pressure through
tractor’s hydraulic valve and disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the
tractor.
7. If your machine has electric system disconnect the electric connections
from the tractor when tractor is in stop position.
8. Pull out the connection pins.
9. MAINTENANCE
Here follows a list of various maintenance operations to be carrying out
periodically. Lowered operating costs and a longer lasting machine depend,
among others, on the methodical constant observation of these rules.
The maintenance periods listed in this manual are only indicative and are for on
normal conditions on use therefore be varied depending the kind of service, the
more or less dusty surroundings, seasonal factors, etc. For more serious
conditions of service, maintenance will logically be done more often. Before
injecting grease, the nipples must be cleaned to avoid must, dust and foreign
bodies from mixing with the grease; otherwise they will reduce or even annul the
effect of the lubrication.
- After use wash the equipment thoroughly.
- If disc plough is new then after first two hours of working tighten all nut
bolts.

18
- Check the plough adjustments if the steering is hard.
- Check the scrapper adjustments frequently.
- If the soil has entered ingrease nipple, then change the nipple.
- After every fifty hours grease all greasing points with grease gun and
tighten all nuts and bolts.
- After three hundreds hours, open the hub of disc plough & cleanse it with
diesel oil, pump in new grease & replace its seal.
- Constantly check for loose nuts and bolts.
- Sharpen the disc if the blades are dull. Blunt blades increase the draft
considerably.
- When the diameter of disc is reduced to 24” it is desirable to change the
degree of hub by loosening the mounting bolts.
- Discs cannot work beyond 22” diameter. They must be replaced for
effective ploughing.
At the end of the season or if a long period of rest is for seen it is advisable:
- Carefully check worn or damaged parts and replace if necessary.
- Tighten all screws and bolts.
- Grease the all unpainted parts. Protect the equipment with a cover (such
as nylon and etc.)
- Keep your machine in a dry place. Don’t move it and keep away from
unauthorized people.
- If these operations are done carefully, it will be total advantage for you
because next season your machine will be perfectly ready to work.
- Finally, we remind you that the manufacturer is always available for any
and all necessary assistance and spares.
