A driveshaft too long may cause structural damages to the tractor and machine. If the driveshaft is
too long, it may be adapted by removing it and shortening the tubes according to the instructions
provided by the manufacturer in its use and maintenance manual.
A driveshaft too short can cause disengage of the tubes during operation, with severe hazard for
the operator and structural damage to the tractor and machine. If the driveshaft is too short, it must
be replaced with a longer one. In this case contact the manufacturer or your dealer.
IMPORTANT
before operating the tiller the first time, make sure that the driveshaft is lubricated in accordance
with how indicated in the instruction booklet;
before operating the tiller the first time, and after long periods of inactivity, make sure that the
driveline clutch has run a short "run in" in accordance with what indicated in the instruction manual
of the manufacturer, removing the possible oxidation of the components that may compromise
the correct slipping during the usage (see also section "Maintenance");
always engage the tractor PTO at low rpm to minimize the effect of the peak torque on the
driveline and the machine.
4.3.
TRACTOR-TILLER STABILITY
The weight of the machine modifies the stability of the system tractor-tiller, resulting in loss of
steering control and braking.
The front axle of the tractor should always loaded with at least 20% of the overall weight of the
system tractor-tiller.
1) M x (S1+S2) ≤ 0.2 x T x i + Z x (d+i)
2) M ≤ 0.3T
Consequently, the minimum ballast required is:
Z min = (M x (S1+S2) - 0.2 x T x i)/ (d+i)
.
To determine the appropriate characteristics of the ballast, refer to the manual of the tractor.
