Compression Rate Adjustment
Compression rate or angle of the bed press regulates the amount of soil
between the moldboards. It is adjusted using the turnbuckle on the left (see
below).
If you have insufficient soil or a hollow bed use less compression by
lowering the front of the bed press. If there is too much soil building up
use more compression by raising the front of the bed press. Excessive
compression does not form a firm bed and is not reccommended.
Compression can be changed while laying as soil type and conditions
change.
Important;
Changing compression will change driptape bury depth.
