Before laying plastic, we reccommend using the machine without mulch or
driptape. Make adjustments as needed for your soil type and become familiar
with the machine. Spread moldboards as far as possible when making the
second pass to lay the plastic mulch.
*
Let full weight of machine down and regulate amount of soil between
moldboards using the compression rate turnbuckle.
*
It is not necessary to pull more soil than needed to fill the bed. Pulling too much
soil may cause tractor slippage / side drifting.
*
Moldboards can be adjusted closer or farther apart depending on soil type.
Getting Started
1. Adjust 3-point top link to level machine.
2. Load plastic roll into bottom roll cradle and spare roll into top
cradle.
3. Feed plastic through rollers (page 8).
4. Load driptape roll(s) onto carrier and feed through guides (page 9).
5. Compression rate regulates amount of soil between moldboards
and can be adjusted using turn buckle on the left* (page 7).
6. Bed crown (peak) can be adjusted by turning center turn buckle
(page 7).
7. Bed top width/bed height is adjusted by removing 4 hand pins
on each side press plate, move plates to the desired height/width,
and installing pins again. i.e For tall beds both side plates need
to be dropped down. NOTE; double check both sides are
adjusted equally (page 6).
8. Bed height can be fine tuned by using the turn buckle on
the right* to raise or lower the press pan and adjusting the
compression rate accordingly (page 6).
