THIS SYMBOL IDENTIFIES IMPOR-
TANT SAFETY MESSAGES. WHEN YOU SEE
IT, READ THE MESSAGE THAT FOLLOWS AND BE
ALERT TO THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL IN-
JURY.
Remember, safety instructions stated in this
manual are for your protection. Read them
carefully and follow them closely when work-
ing around or using this machine.
NOTE: Due to continuing improvements in the design and manufacture of UNVERFERTH prod-
ucts, and normal changes in the marketplace, all specifications contained herein are subject to
change without notice.
INTRODUCTION
Your new ROLLING HARROW II is designed
and manufactured to give you years of de-
pendable service. To keep it running efficiently,
read the instructions in this operator's manual.
This manual covers operation, service, assem-
bly, and parts for your ROLLING HARROW II.
Read and study this manual completely be-
fore attempting to operate this implement. Take
this manual to the field for handy reference
when operating, adjusting, or servicing your
machine.
"Right-Hand" and "Left-Hand" side of the ma-
chine are determined by standing behind the
implement and facing in the direction of for-
ward travel.
No accident-prevention program can be successful without the wholehearted cooperation of the
person who is directly responsible for the operation of the equipment.
To read accident reports from all over the country is to be convinced that a large number of
accidents can be prevented only by the operator anticipating the result before the accident is
caused and doing something about it. No power-driven equipment, whether it be transportation or
processing, whether it be on the highway, in the harvest field, or in the industrial plant, can be
safer than the man who is at the controls. If accidents are to be prevented--and they can be
prevented--it will be done by the operators who accept the full measure of their responsibility.
It is true that the designer, the manufacturer, and the safety engineer can help; and they will
help, but their combined efforts can be wiped out by a single careless act of the operator.
It is said that, "the best kind of a safety device is a careful operator." We, at Unverferth Mfg.
Co., Inc. ask that you be that kind of operator.
REMEMBER:
THINK SAFETY
A CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE
BEST INSURANCE AGAINST AN
ACCIDENT!

SAFETY
AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY
Always use proper safety precautions. Most
accidents are a result of failure to practice
safety. Accidents cause lost time and suffer-
ing. Do not operate your ROLLING HARROW
II without thoroughly reading this manual.
Follow all safety precautions as outlined in
this manual, and in tractor and primary tillage
tool operator's manuals.
All machinery should be operated only by
those who are experienced, responsible, and
have been delegated to do so.
Never install additional equipment onto ROLL-
ING HARROW II such as spray tanks, etc. -
frame or axle failure could occur.
BEFORE OPERATING
Do not stand between tractor and primary
tillage tool during hitching.
Do not stand between primary tillage tool and
ROLLING HARROW II during hitching.
To avoid possible injury, lower implements to
the ground before servicing.
Always shut tractor engine off when working
on implements.
Avoid working under an implement; however, if
it becomes absolutely unavoidable, make sure
the implement is safely blocked.
Do not wear loose fitting clothes, as they
may catch in moving parts.
If a hydraulic leak develops, correct immedi-
ately. Escaping hydraulic fluid can be danger-
ous. Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Relieve the pressure before disconnecting hy-
draulic lines. Tighten all connections before
applying pressure. Keep hands and body away
from hydraulic leaks which eject fluid under
high pressure.
IF INJURED BY ESCAPING HYDRAULIC OIL,
SEE A DOCTOR AT ONCE, SERIOUS IN-
FECTION OR REACTION CAN DEVELOP IF
PROPER TREATMENT IS NOT ADMINIS-
TERED IMMEDIATELY.
Use a piece of cardboard or wood to detect
leaks of hydraulic fluid under pressure.
Be sure to relive all hydraulic pressure before
disconnecting any lines or pipes between the
implement and the tractor hydraulic system.
Keep all guards and shields in place.
When working around sweeps and points, be
careful not to be cut by sharp edges.
Only one person, the operator, should be per-
mitted on the tractor when implement is in op-
eration, and he should be thoroughly familiar
with the tractor before using the implement.
Always make certain everyone and everything
is clear of the machine before beginning op-
eration.
USING TRAIL HITCH
Be sure that the trail hitch is securely at-
tached to the primary tillage tool frame.
Be sure that members of the primary tillage
tool frame are adequate to support the ROLL-
ING HARROW II or other drawn equipment.
Tighten all hardware on the trail hitch after sev-
eral hours of use. Also, check periodically dur-
ing the season for worn or broken components.
When towing on roads, secure a safety chain
from the secondary tool to the trail hitch to
prevent accidental unhitching.
Do not stand between the primary and sec-
ondary tools when hitching, severe bodily harm
may occur.

SAFETY
DURING OPERATION
Do not allow anyone to ride on the equip-
ment. Make sure everyone is clear before
operating machine or tractor.
Regulate speed to field conditions. Maintain
complete control at all times.
Do not attempt to move any objects away
from moving parts.
Keep hands, feet, clothing, and objects away
from moving parts.
Do not grease or oil equipment when in op-
eration.
Use extreme care when operating close to
ditches, fences, or on hillsides.
Do not leave tractor or implement unattended
with engine running.
Never attempt to operate implement unless
you are in the driver's seat.
BEFORE TRANSPORTING
Secure the drawbar pin with safety lock be-
fore transporting.
Secure safety chain to implement and to draw-
bar before transporting.
Install transport locks before transporting. Make
sure that all safety decals, SMV emblem, and
reflectors are clean and in place on machine.
Latch tractor brake pedals together before
transporting.
Comply with state and local laws governing
highway safety when moving machinery.
Use accessory lighting or warning lights when
transporting at night to adequately warn op-
erators of other vehicles.
DURING TRANSPORT
Use good judgement when transporting imple-
ments on a highway. Maintain complete con-
trol at all times. Regulate speed to road
conditions. Maximum speed of a vehicle with
an implement should never exceed 20 m.p.h.,
and then only under ideal road and traffic
conditions.
Drive at speeds slow enough to insure your
safety as well as others.
Regulate speed during off highway travel. Do
not travel faster than 10 m.p.h.
Slow down before making sharp turns or us-
ing the brakes. Drive slowly over rough ground,
hillsides, and around curves to avoid tipping.
Due to the width of the implement, use extra
caution on highways, farm lanes, and when
approaching gates.

ATTACHING ROLLING HARROW II TO PRIMARY
TILLAGE TOOL
Before attaching the ROLLING HARROW II to
your primary tillage tool, adjust the extended
length of the hitch tube to give adequate turn-
ing clearance (between the two implements)
when turning on the ends.
NOTE: It may be necessary to reposition the
rear hose holder when adjusting the hitch tube
length.
Adjust the hitch tube length (as required) by
removing the two klik-pins (9951) and 1" dia.
pins (91363) in the front of the hitch frame.
Position as required and reinstall pins as before.
Back primary tillage tool into position, make
necessary adjustments (to align tongue and

implement. Use a 1" dia. hitch pin and lock
in place.
NOTE: If unit is parked in the raised position,
turn handle on jackstand to remove pressure
and rotate jackstand into "Transport Position",
see "Jackstand" page 38).
OPERATIONS
HYDRAULICS
Check routing of all hydraulic hoses. Hoses
should not be kinked, twisted, or rubbing
against sharp edges. Hoses should be secure
with tie straps.
Check hoses and fittings for hydraulic leaks.
Tighten and/or repair or replace as required.
Refer to "Torque Chart" in SERVICE section.
LUBRICATIONS
Lubricate ROLLING HARROW II as out-lined
in SERVICE section.
TIRE PRESSURE
Check tire pressure. The recommended air
pressure for the transport tires is 40 PSI. Be
sure tire pressure is equal on all tires.
PREPARING ROLLING HARROW II
OM01408
Wear clips (Fig. 1-1) are provided on the ends
of each rolling harrow frame (two on the front
aggressive basket and one on the rear). They
are especially important when your ROLLING
HARROW II is used in wet sandy soils which
tends to build-up on end wheels of the bas-
kets. This highly abrasive soil can cause the
basket frame end plates to wear through or
damage zerk.
If operating under these conditions, be sure
the wear clips are in place, and the mounting
hardware is tight.

ESCAPING HYDRAULIC FLUID UNDER PRESSURE
CAN CAUSE BODILY INJURY.
IMPORTANT: If the hoses have been discon-
nected from the hydraulic cylinders or if the
cylinders have not been used for some time,
note the following warning.
WARNING! PURGING AIR FROM CYL-
INDERS MUST BE DONE BEFORE HYDRAU-
LIC OPERATION MAY SAFELY BE USED. FAILURE
TO DO THIS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DAMAGE TO IMPLEMENT.
NOTE: Refer to ASSEMBLY section (page 35
and 36) for procedures on the purging pro-
cess and hydraulic system checks.
NOTE: Refer to SERVICE section (pages 18
to 20) when checking hydraulic circuit opera-
tion and function.
HYDRAULIC HOOK-UP INTO A CIRCUIT
USING REPHASE CYLINDERS: (Fig. 1-3)
When connecting the ROLLING HARROW II
hydraulic system into an existing circuit (on
the primary tillage tool) using rephase hydrau-
lic cylinders, a "Pilot Operated Check Valve"
is required to insure the ROLLING HARROW
will remain in the transport position.
Install the pilot operated check valve (UNVER-
FERTH MFG. CO., INC. #91240) onto the rear
of the primary tillage tool. Connections from
the rephase system must be installed into the
ports (of the valve) that are closest together.
Connections to the ROLLING HARROW II sys-
tem go into the other two ports.
Raise unit into transport position and install
cylinder transport locks (Fig. 1-4).
OPERATIONS
REAR HITCH HEIGHT ON
PRIMARY TILLAGE TOOL
For maximum performance and adjustability of
your ROLLING HARROW II, it is recommended
the rear hitch height of the primary tillage tool
(Fig. 1-2) be approximately 16 to 24 inches (20"
nominal) from the ground line (when in the field).
HYDRAULIC HOOK-UP
When connecting the hydraulic lines to a hy-
draulic source, the lines may be connected into
a separate two-way hydraulic control circuit (on
back of tractor or connected into an existing
circuit on the primary tillage tool (see caution).
CAUTION! SHUT-OFF TRACTOR ENGINE
\AND WORK CONTROL LEVERS BACK AND
FORTH TO RELIEVE SYSTEM OF ALL PRESSURE.
FIG. 1-2 OM00739

-12-
SAFETY CHAIN
CAUTION! ALWAYS USE SAFETY
CHAIN WHEN TRANSPORTING IMPLE-
MENTS. FAILURE TO USE SAFETY CHAINS COULD
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE IF IMPLE-
MENTS BECOME DISENGAGED.
Install safety chain (as shown in Fig. 1-5).
IMPORTANT: Picture shown with hook-up be-
tween tractor and primary tillage tool. Safety
chain must also be installed between primary
tillage tool and ROLLING HARROW II.
NOTE: Safety chain should have a test strength
equal to the gross weight of implement and
all attachments.
TRANSPORTING
IMPORTANT: Check transport route clearance,
and refer to model specifications in primary
tillage tools operator's manual, and on ROLL-
ING HARROW II (in front of manual) for trans-
port dimensions of implements.
For safe transporting of these implements, the
transport speed should never exceed 10 M.P.H.
in the field or over rough terrain. Reduce trans-
port speed to maintain full control of the imple-
ment and tractor at all times.
Reflective tapes are provided with this imple-
ment. Red reflective tape should be in place
on the back and outermost extremity of the
rear frame tube on each side. The amber
reflective tape should be in placed on the left
hand front extremity of the front frame tube.
Be sure these reflectors are in place and
clearly visible. See reflectors (page 40).
UNFOLDING THE WINGS
CAUTION! TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE
TO ONE-BAR, BASKET FRAME, AND
MOUNTING ARMS IN WING HINGE AREA PROCEED
AS FOLLOWS:
A. If wheel cylinder transport locks are re-
moved, move unit forward as the wings
are unfolded.
B. Leave wheel cylinder transport locks in
place until after the wings are unfolded.
WITH TRANSPORT
LOCKS REMOVED
Unfolding of the wings is best performed with
the unit in the field. As the wings on the ROLL-
ING HARROW II unfold, move the unit forward
(slowly) as the wings begin to contact the
ground. This will allow the teeth and baskets on
the unit to roll on top of the soil, preventing
them from jamming sideways into the ground,
causing possible damage to the unit.
WITH TRANSPORT
LOCKS IN PLACE
After the wing unfolding cycle is complete, re-
verse the flow of hydraulic oil in the system
enough to fully extend the wheel hoist cylinders
(but do not refold the wings). Remove wheel
hoist cylinder transport locks (Fig. 1-4), so unit
may be lowered to the field-working position.
IMPORTANT: Before unit is transported, be
sure the jackstand is in the "Transport Posi-
tion" see "Jackstand" (page 38).
CAUTION! INSTALL HYDRAULIC CYL-
INDER TRANSPORT LOCKS BEFORE
TRANSPORTING (FIG. 1-4).
Comply with all state and local laws governing
highway safety and regulations when moving
machinery on public roads.
Be sure SMV Emblem is in place and clearly
visible on the rear of the implement. See
SMV Emblem (page 39).
CAUTION! USE APPROVED ACCES-
SORY LIGHTS, REFLECTORS AND DE-
VICES WHEN TRANSPORTING AT NIGHT AND
DURING PERIODS OF POOR VISIBILITY.
OPERATIONS

-13-
IMPORTANT: If unit is unhooked in the trans-
port position, install hydraulic cylinder trans-
port locks (Fig. 1-4) and lower jackstand to
ground before unhooking unit.
NOTE: Refer to "Jackstand" (page 38) for
positioning of jackstand into "Parked Posi-
tion" (Fig. 3-17).
When parking ROLLING HARROW II onto rear
jackstand, lower jack down into position and
UNHITCHING
turn handle to transfer the weight of the unit
to the jack.
Remove hitch pin.
CAUTION! SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
CAN RESULT IF YOU ATTEMPT TO DIS-
CONNECT HYDRAULIC HOSES UNDER PRESSURE.
SHUT OFF TRACTOR ENGINE AND WORK LEVERS
BACK AND FORTH BEFORE DISCONNECTING
HOSES.
Disconnect the hydraulic hoses. Install dust
covers over the hose plugs and outlets.
IMPORTANT: Before unhitching the primary
tillage tool, refer to the units "Operator's
Manual" for unhitching procedures.
FIELD ADJUSTMENTS
OPERATIONS
ROLLING HARROW BASKET
The Rolling Harrow basket is designed to help
provide an excellent seed-bed when used in
conjunction with your primary tillage tool.
To obtain maximum performance from your
ROLLING HARROW II in the field, it may be
run with the transport wheels in the "Raised"
or "Float" position. This allows maximum trans-
fer of weight to the baskets, thus providing for
better leveling and ground working action (by
allowing the unit to more closely follow the
ground contour).
Normally the ROLLING HARROW II should
run with the basket frame in the free-floating
position (allowing the unit to more closely
follow the ground contour and roll over rocks
and obstructions in the field), thus prolonging
the life of the baskets. To obtain a "Free-
Floating" basket frame, remove lock-out pins
from basket frame and store in mounting arms
(Fig. 1-6).
FIG. 1-6
In some conditions, it may be desirable to
limit the float of the basket frame:
LIMIT FLOAT
A. Raise ROLLING HARROW II to transport
position.
B. Remove pin from storage position and
place in desirable hole in basket frame.
NOTE: Place pin in slot for maximum lock-out.
Be sure to position pins in the same hole from
side-to-side on each basket section.
IMPORTANT: IN ROCKY CONDITIONS, the
life of the baskets may be shortened if the
unit is pinned with the front basket locked in
the down position.
NOTE: IN LIGHTER SOILS, depending on the
depth, speed, and soil condition, it may be
desirable to limit the penetration of the front
basket, by placing the lock-out pin in one of
the three holes (in basket frame) on the back-
side of the mounting arm.
NORMAL POSITION
ROLLING HARROW II RUN WITH AGGRES-
SIVE BASKET POSITIONED TO THE FRONT
(FIG. 1-6) FOR MAXIMUM PENETRATION IN
NORMAL SOIL CONDITIONS.
A maximum amount of leveling and condition-
ing of the soil is obtained when the aggres-
sive basket is positioned to the front (as shown
in Fig. 1-6). This position also helps provide
for thorough mixing of chemicals into the top
two to three inches of the soil, when used for
incorporation.

FIG. 1-7
ALTERNATE POSITION
ROLLING HARROW II RUN WITH AGGRES-
SIVE BASKET POSITION TO THE REAR (FIG.
1-7 FOR MAXIMUM FIRMING ACTION IN LIGHT
SANDY SOILS.
A maximum amount of firming and conditioning
of the soil is obtained when the aggressive basket
is positioned at the rear (as shown in Fig. 1-7).
NOTE: To reverse Rolling Harrow baskets,
remove mounting pin (82381) and spiral pin
(91144-186) (Fig. 1-7) connecting basket frame
to spring arm, rotate basket frame and rein-
stall mounting pins and spiral pins.
NOTE: Notice position of wear clips. Refer to
page 10 for installation of "Wear Clips".
ONE-BAR/LEVELER
The one-bar is designed to improve the soil
leveling capabilities of your ROLLING HAR-
ROW II. The one-bar spring pressure can be
increased to improve ground leveling by tight-
ening the adjusting screw or decreasing to
improve trash flow by loosening the adjusting
screw. This adjustment is especially important
in heavy soils or trashy conditions, by improv-
ing soil leveling and/or trash flow.
TO ADJUST SPRING PRESSURE:
(Fig. 1-8A & Fig. 1-8B).
A. Loosen locknut.
B. TO INCREASE SPRING PRESSURE, turn
adjusting screw in (Fig. 1-8A & 1-8B).
TO DECREASE SPRING PRESSURE, turn
adjusting screw out (Fig. 1-8A & 1-8B).
*NOTE: Depending on which adjustment screw
you have, the Initial spring pressure adjust-
ment screw should be set at 3/4" minimum
for 1/2-13 x 1 1/2" lg. screw (9390-101) and
1 3/4" minimum for 1/2-13 x 2 1/2" lg. screw
(91596) (Fig. 1-8A).
NOTE: Be sure to adjust spring pressure equally
from side-to-side on each drag bar section.
C. Retighten locknut to maintain adjustment.
TOOTH DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Tooth depth adjustment is provided,
but should only be adjusted to allow for tooth
wear (spiked tooth only).
ADJUST TOOTH DEPTH AS FOLLOWS:
D. Loosen U-bolt on each tooth (Fig. 1-8A).
E. Drive teeth down to desired depth.
F. Retighten U-bolts (Fig. 1-8A).
COIL-TINE TOOTH ADJUSTMENT

1. USE PROPER TOOLS for assembling
rings onto pins (for plain external retain-
ing rings use a flat-blade retaining ring
pliers).
2. Before inserting pins, be sure the
GROOVE IS FREE FROM ALL FOREIGN
MATERIAL (paint, dirt, etc.), to ensure a
proper seating.
3. DO NOT OVERSTRETCH RING during
assembly. Install ring into groove so that
it is securely seated and will not rotate
around the pin.
LUBRICATION
ROLLING HARROW BEARINGS
Lubricate with an SAE multi-purpose grease.
All fittings must be free from dirt and paint to
insure entry of lubricant inside bearing.
Lubricate these bearing every 100 hours of
operation and at the end of each season,
before storage. Use only one stroke of grease
per bearing.
CAUTION! DO NOT USE A HIGH-
PRESSURE GREASE GUN TO LUBRICATE
THESE BEARINGS, AS DAMAGE TO BEARING SEAL
COULD OCCUR.
NOTE: Excessive lubrication of these bear-
ings will result in premature failure.
WHEEL BEARINGS
The wheel bearings should be cleaned, re-
packed, and adjusted once per season. Use a
number 2 wheel bearing grease to repack the
bearings to a free rolling fit with no end play.
STORAGE
Your implement is an important investment.
Spend a little time to protect it from destruc-
tive rust and corrosion. You will be repaid in
longer service life and better performance.
Do the following before placing the implement
in storage:
1. Remove dirt and trash which could cause
rusting.
2. Repaint any chipped or scraped areas.
3. Coat all earth moving surfaces with grease
or suitable rust preventative.
4. Inspect for damage or worn parts, re-
place before next season.
5. Store implement inside, away from live-
stock.
6. Use blocking to keep implement tires and
points up off bare ground.

1. Lower baskets of the ROLLING HARROW
to the ground and block the tires.
2. Remove pins (82381 and 91523) from the
basket with the worn bearing. Raise the
complete ROLLING HARROW into trans-
port position.
3. Slide the two baskets and the frame away
from the others so it can be worked on.
4. Remove the three 5/16-18 capscrews/car-
riage bolts and the clip(s) which hold the
bearing on and note the placement of
the clip(s) and the longer 5/16-18
capscrew(s)/carriage bolt(s).
5. Use a crowbar to pry the end of the
basket from out of the basket frame slot.
6. Loosen the set screw in the lock collar.
Loosen lock collar by turning with punch
in direction of basket travel.
7. Place a punch through the hole in the
end plate on the basket and use a ham-
mer to remove the bearing. If the bearing
is on too tight, use a bearing puller to
remove the bearing.
8. File off any burrs left on the shaft. Finish
with a strip of emery cloth. Make sure
bearing will slide on the shaft.
9. BEARING (9808) FIG. 2-1
Slide a new flangette with lube fitting
(92282) and lock collar/bearing (9808) to-
ward the basket on the end of the shaft.

OPERATION (HOW IT WORKS)
All cylinders on the ROLLING HARROW II are
double action cylinders. They are all teed
together into one circuit. Because of orifices
placed in the wing-fold segment of the circuit,
the wheel axle cylinders will extend first, fol-
lowed by retracting of the wing-fold cylinders.
When hydraulic oil is directed in the opposite
direction, the wheel axle cylinders will retract
first, followed by extending of the wing fold
cylinders.

OPERATION (HOW IT WORKS)
All cylinders on the ROLLING HARROW II are
double acting cylinders. They are all teed
together into one circuit. Because of orifices
placed in the wing-fold segment of the circuit,
the wheel axle cylinders will extend first, fol-
lowed by retracting of the wing-fold cylinders.
IMPORTANT: Refer to page 28-29 for proper
wing and valve combination of your machine.
The stack fold valve is a pilot operated, double
bi-pass valve. This valve allows oil to flow to
one outlet port or the other in one direction,
and free-flow (from both ports) in the opposite
direction.
The stack fold valve allows the L.H. wing to
fold first, until the wing contacts the valve
(shifting the spool of the valve), followed by
the folding of the R.H. wing.
When hydraulic oil is directed in the opposite
direction, the wheel axle cylinders will retract
first, followed by (because of difference in the
wing position from right-to-left) extending the
R.H. wing fold cylinder.
