 FITTING TO THE TRACTOR

The HR Rotary harrow is suitable for all tractors equipped with a 3-point hydraulic linkage, category 2 or 3.

Attachment should be undertaken on a level surface. To simplify tractor fitting, the lower attachment brackets
pivot in the vertical plane.

The lower attachment yokes can be placed in 2

different positions on the main frame (photo 1).

1) Towards the rear (A) (original fitting): to bring the

centre of gravity of the machine as close to the tractor
as possible (in combination with a seed drill for
example).

2) Towards the front (B) (photo 1): to avoid any

clashing with the tractor wheels when fitting certain
equipments such as front gauge wheels or track
eradicators.

through the Kuhn Service Parts Department.

Note : The top link pin (T) has an anti-turn arm (R).
It should be fitted as shown in photo 5A.

5A

Important remark : Position of the top link.

The top link yoke of the headstock is equipped with various vertical positions for the hitch pin (fig.5A).
In order to optimise the angle of the secondary PTO transmission shaft, the top link can be positioned parallel to
the draught arms or even pointed slightly downwards towards the tractor (see fig. 6, page 14).

- 13 -
 P.T.O. DRIVE SHAFT

6
Fitting the pto shaft :
- Make sure the rotary harrow is resting on the ground and is maintained in a stable position with the roller.
- Clean and lubricate the gearbox input shaft and slide the mating PTO shaft yoke in place. Before attaching
the PTO shaft to the slip clutch flange, it is essential that both mating surfaces are thoroughly cleaned.
Bring both components together and fix in place using the self-locking screws provided. Tighten all the studs
to a torque setting of 10 daNm (75 ft.lbs) at the same time making sure that the flange is centrally
seated.Tightness has to be checked regularly.

For improved ease of bolting the PTO shaft’s flange yoke onto the slip clutch, it is strongly
recommended to remove the guard cone on the flange side. To do this, refer to the
instruction booklet supplied with the PTO shaft.
Make sure to reinstall the guard cone once the operation is completed.

- After mounting the rotary harrow, stabilize the tractor 3-point linkage with whatever means are recommended
i.e. the bars, chains, etc.
- Be sure the tractor P.T.O. shaft drive is disengaged and stop engine.
- Couple the P.T.O. shaft to the tractor P.T.O stub.

Attachment is correct when machine is horizontal in work position.

With the machine resting on the ground, adjust the top link (P) length to a position where the tractor PTO stub
and the tiller input shaft are parallel.

In working position :
- The 2 angles (K) formed by the centre lines of the yoke and the sliding tubes must be equal and not exceed
a combined angle of 30° when working.
- The sliding tube overlap (L) must be at least 22 cm (8.5") (fig. 6).

With the machine fully raised on the tractor hydraulic linkage :

- The 2 sliding tubes must not completely overlap each other ; a gap (M) of 1 cm (3/8") should exist between
end of sliding tube and yoke.
- Both U joints (K) should operate approximately at the same bent angles which must never exceed
40° (fig. 6).

- 14 -
Should the above mentioned conditions not exist :
- Shorten both tubes by an equal length (fig. 7 and 8), chamfer edges and clean (fig. 9) and grease inside of outer
tube (fig. 10).
- To avoid noisy running of the PTO shaft when lifting the machine out of work, attach top link (P) so that it is
almost parallel to the lower links (fig. 6).

Important : Always disconnect the tractor PTO drive before lifting the machine into the transport position,
otherwise permanent damage can be caused to the transmission shaft.

Repeat these adjustments each time the machine is mounted to a different tractor.

7 8

9 10

A hook (C) is supplied with the machine to support

the PTO shaft (T) when disconnected to avoid dam-
age or deterioration due to contact with the ground
(photo 11).

To avoid accidents which could be

serious, make sure that the guards
are always correctly in place and
secured with the safety chains.
The safety chain (H) on the machine
side must be attached in the hole 11
provided in the top link pin yoke
(photo 11). All worn or damaged
guards must be replaced immedi-
ately.

- 15 -
 CUT - OUT CLUTCH

The Walterscheid cut-out clutch is fitted as standard to all HR 303* - 403*.

1) WORKING PRINCIPLE AND OPERATION

The Walterscheid cam-type safety clutch cuts out torque transmission as soon as an overload occurs.

After a torque cut-out, it is important to disengage the PTO drive and lift the machine out
of work. Reengage the PTO drive when the cause for the cut-out has been eliminated and
the clutch will automatically re-engage. If a foreign object has become jammed between the
rotors, switch off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key, and then clear the machine.

NOTE: Avoid re-engaging the cut-out clutch by simply reducing the PTO speed (rotational frequency) as
this will cause premature wear of the clutch cams due to friction between the cams and their
housing.

2) FITTING THE CLUTCH

Fitting of the clutch to the gearbox drive shaft (L) is effected by a clamp cone (H) which locates in the drive shaft
attachment groove (M).

12
2.1 Disassembling :

- Remove the PTO shaft.

For improved ease of removing of the PTO shaft from the slip clutch, it is strongly
recommended to remove the guard cone on the flange side. To do this, refer to the
instruction booklet supplied with the PTO shaft.
Make sure to reinstall the guard cone once the operation is completed.

- Remove the slip clutch guard to get access to the clamp cone (H) (fig. 12).
- Loosen the clamp cone (H) by unscrewing the cone a few turns (fig. 12) (do not force).
- With a punch diameter 10 and a hammer free the clamp cone (H) from its seat by striking in the arrow’s direction
(see arrow, fig. 12).
- Completely unscrew the clamp cone (H) and remove from its seat.
- Remove the clutch from the shaft (L) (fig. 12).

- 16 -
2.2 Reassembling :

- The clamp cone (H) being disassembled, slide the clutch on the shaft and align the clamp cone housing with
the circular groove (M) of the shaft (L) (fig. 12).
- Screw the clamp cone (H) in its housing while at the same time giving a slight alternate and axial movement
so that the clamp cone (H) takes the right position in the circular groove (M).
- Torque at 7 daNm (50 ft.lbs).
- Reinstall the slip clutch guard.

Regularly check that the clutch is well fixed on the shaft (no play).

3) CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

The cut-out clutch must be adjusted to suit the tractor hp and PTO speed (rotational frequency) (see adjustment
table on page 18).
During the first periods of use, check that the clutch disengages when necessary.
- If the clutch disengages too frequently, adjustment is too light. The cam force should therefore be increased.
- If the clutch does not disengage, adjustment is too heavy. The cam force should be decreased.

To adjust, proceed as follows (fig. 13) :

- Before disassembling, ensure that the clutch is engaged.
- Remove the clutch from the shaft (see paragraph 2.1, page 16).
- Using the screwdriver, remove the seal (G) then remove circlip (A).
- Remove the hub (B) from the housing (D) with the washer (C) and the shim washers (J).
- Disengage the 2 cams (E) taking note of their position, to enable the spring cartridge (F) to be removed. This
cartridge is shown in fig 14.
- Measure dimension (L) (fig. 14) on the spring cartridge (F) and note it down in the box in the table, page
18 (only when removing the limiter for the first time).
- Adjust length (L) according to the adjustment chart, page 18.

13

- 17 -
To adjust the length (L) :
- Hold the cartridge in a vice onto the 2 central pieces
(H) (to avoid disengagement).
- Adjust the 2 nuts (J) after having removed the roll
pins (K) (fig. 14).
- Adjust both nuts an equal amount.
- Refit the roll pins (K).
- Refit the assembly, making sure that the cams (E)
are correctly positioned (ie the angled faces of the
cams match the angled slots in the bore of the
housing (fig. 13).
- Check that the threaded rod (N) (fig. 14) in the
spring cartridge (F) does not interfere with the bore
of the housing (D) (fig. 13).
- Re install the clutch onto the shaft (L) (see para- 14
graph 2.2, page 17).

- 18 -
 ROTOR SPEED (ROTATIONAL FREQUENCY)

The HR 303* - 403* power harrows are fitted with 2 or 4 speed gearboxes which adapt the rotor speed (rotational
frequency) to the working conditions. They should normally be used with a PTO speed (rotational frequency)
of 1000 rpm (min-1) to reduce the forces placed on the tractor and machine transmissions.
A PTO speed (rotational frequency) of 540 rpm (min-1) should only be used occasionally for shallow
working in light land, where the power requirement does not exceed 73 kW (100 hp).

Note : The models HR 303* / 403* can also be used with a PTO speed (rotational frequency) of 750 rpm
(min-1). The rotors will then operate at an intermediate speed (rotational frequency).

All gearboxes are factory fitted with a rear PTO shaft which rotates at the same speed (rotational frequency) as
the tractor PTO shaft. An extra implement can be driven by a secondary PTO shaft which should be assembled
and used according to the legislation in force at the time.
Remove the PTO shaft cover (G) and mount the plastic guard cone (F) (code 587 070 10) supplied with the
machine (photos 15, 15A, 16 and 16 A).
The rear PTO shaft is 1 3/8" 6 spline profile, and must not be used to transmit more than 37 kW (50 hp. It
should not be used with the gears disengaged (neutral) when driving a secondary implement (seed-drill etc.) as
this could damage the gearbox due to a lack of lubrication.

If the rear PTO shaft is not used, always put cover (G) in place (photos 15 A and 16 A).

1) HR 303* D / 403* D :

ROLLERS

According to the user’s choice, the rotary power harrows can be equipped with :
- either a crumbler roller (with welded tubes and removable bars) (only for HR 303*),
- either a Maxicrumbler roller (with welded tubes),
- either a packer roller (rows of continuous studs welded on a cylinder),
- either a PK2 packer roller (rows of continuous studs welded on a cylinder),
- either a Maxipacker roller (rows of discontinuous studs welded on a large diameter cylinder),
- either a Packliner roller (semi-solid rubber tyres),
- or a PX2 Packerflex roller (rubber tyres).

The roller is an essential element of the harrow and has four main functions:
- to set and control the working depth of the machine,
- to pack the tilth evenly behind the rotors to create an optimum seedbed,
- to increase seedbed crumbling and clod break-up,
- to improve seedbed levelling.

The roller can be fitted in 2 different lengthways positions (E) and (E’) (photo 17). The forward position (E) is
convenient when working with a crumbler roller, a packer roller, a PK2 Packer roller or a Maxipacker roller without
rear levelling bar. The backward position (E’) must always be used when working with a PX2 Packerflex roller,
a Packliner roller, a Maxipacker roller and on other rollers when a levelling bar is fitted to the back of the trough (see
page 32, photo 27).

The roller height is adjusted at (P) (photo 17). To adjust, proceed as follows:
- Lift the machine behind the tractor,
- Place pin (T) in the hole corresponding to the required height (photo 17). Make sure that the same hole is used
on each side of the machine.

The roller is also used as a protection device at the rear of the machine. It must never be
removed.

To raise the roller completely out of work, lift the roller, then place pin (T) in hole (O) (photo 17).

1) CRUMBLER ROLLER
HR 303* - Kit no. 123 6440

This roller is particularly intended for use in dry or

slightly humid conditions. It is not advisable to use it
on very stony ground or with an integrated seed drill.
The crumbler roller consists of welded tubes (F) and
removable rods (G) located in flanges (photo 18).
With removable rods in place :
For use in dry conditions, gives fine crumbling and
levelling as well as good packing.
With removable rods removed :
Recommended for use in wetter conditions. Reduces
risk of clogging. Produces a coarser crumbling and
levelling.
To remove the rods:
- Drive out the inner roll pin (A),
- Dislodge the rod from its position using a hammer, 18
- Pull firmly on the rod to remove it completely.

2) MAXICRUMBLER ROLLER (photo 19)

HR 303* - Kit no. 120 9150
HR 403* - Kit no. 120 9170

The maxicrumbler roller is ideal for dry or slightly humid

conditions. It is not advisable to use it in conjunction
with an integrated seed drill. It is made up of fixed
tubes (F) welded on round support rings (photo 19).

3) PACKER ROLLER AND PK2 PACKER ROLLER

HR 303* - Kit no. 123 6730 (packer roller), Kit no. 123 7010 (PK2 packer roller)
HR 403* - Kit no. 123 6750 (packer roller), Kit no. 123 7030 (PK2 packer roller)

These rollers are particularly intended for use in wet or sticky soils. Efficient packing, proper levelling and good
crumbling are achieved.
The scraper bar forms an integral part of the packer roller and of the PK2 packer roller.
These scrapers, placed between the rows of teeth (E), ensure that the roller remains free from soil build-up.
In case of blocking with crop residues, the scraper bar can be easily pivoted to permit cleaning.

a) Fitting the roller and its scraper

(photos 20 and 21).

When fitting the roller, be sure to check its direction of

rotation (see arrow on photo 20). (The direction of
rotation is also indicated by a sticker on the side of the
roller).
Fit the roller and scraper supports (D) to the 2 arms
(B), using the guide housing and the 8 bolts (U). On
HR 303* install covers (C) (photo 19) at the same
time. Then fit scraper supporting bar (H) onto the 2
support arms (D) with the 4 bolts (R). Check that all
the scraper plates (P) are fully retracted (towards
the rear). Fit the 2 adjusters (Q) (photo 21). 20

- 22 -
Using the 2 nuts (S) on the adjusters, pivot the scraper
bar towards the roller until it is almost bottomed-out in
the 2 slots (photo 21). Then tighten the 4 bolts (R) to a
torque of 22 daNm / 160 ft.lbs, and adjust the scraper
plates (P) as shown thereafter.

- Wide roller (wider than 3 m)

(photo 22)

The wide packer rollers are fitted with a central support

arm which is equipped with a wheel that runs on the roller
cylinder (photo 22).
The intermediate support arm (G) is lengthways adjust-
able into different positions which enables the wheel (N)
to be positioned correctly in relation to the roller (see
page 21). 21
Torque the 4 bolts (Z) (photo 22) to 10 daNm / 75 ft.lbs.
Fit the support (F) on the left side of the gearbox (facing
forward). Fit arm (G) onto support (F) using pin (K).
Loosen the 2 bolts (M) to free the wheel (N). Fit the
eccentric pin (O) to the end of arm (G) so that the hole
of the arm coincides with the hole of the fixing bracket (T)
on the scraper arm (H). Fit the bolt (X) (M16 x 55) and
self-locking nut (torque to 22 daNm / 160 ft.lbs). Fit,
without tightening, the adjuster (Y) and nut.
Bring the wheel (N) into contact with the roller, and
tighten bolts (M) (torque to 22 daNm / 160 ft.lbs).

b) Adjusting the scraper plates 22

- Slightly loosen the fixing bolts (V) of the scrapers (P) so that they slide freely (photo 20).
- Check that their position is central relative to the rows of roller teeth. The scraper supports have slotted holes
to allow readjustment if necessary.
- After checking that the scraper bar is in its furthest forward position (photo 21), position the scraper plates one
at a time so that they are in contact with the roller. Retighten bolts (V) (torque 6 daNm / 44 ft.lbs) (photo 20).
Check that the scrapers only lightly touch the roller, and do not interfere with its rotation.
- For wide rollers (more than 3 m), slightly tighten the adjuster (Y) mounted on the central arm (G) (photo 22).

If hard coated scrapers are used ensure that the coating is towards the front and downwards.

c) Cleaning the scrapers

In case of crop residue build-up, it is recommended for cleaning that the scraper be pivoted backwards around
the 2 upper bolt holes (R) (photo 20). To do this, remove the 2 lower bolts (R) and release the 2 adjusters (Q)
after loosening their self-locking nuts (S) (photo 21).
To ease pivoting of the scraper bar towards the rear, use a lever in holes (L) (photos 20 and 21) placed at each
side of the scraper bar (H).

Note : For rollers with more than 3 m width it is also necessary to release bolt (X) and adjuster (Y) (photo 22)
to pivot the scraper bar rearwards.
After cleaning, tighten the bolt (X) (torque 22 daNm / 160 ft.lbs).

4) MAXIPACKER ROLLER
HR 303* - Kit no. 123 8420
HR 403* - Kit no. 123 8440

This roller is suitable for all soil types and especially humid and sticky soils. It provides an efficient ground
packing, a good levelling and crumbling.
Due to its large diameter cylinder, it provides a large ground contact area, hence reduced sinking and less
resistance to rolling, meaning a reduced traction power is needed. The scraperbar is part of the maxipacker roller.
The scraper plates located between the rows of studs ensure the cleaning of the roller. They are hard coated to
further increase their service life.
In case of blocking with crop residues, the scraper bar can be easily pivoted to permit cleaning.

The wide packer rollers are fitted with a central

support arm which is equipped with a wheel that
runs on the roller cylinder (photo C).
The two part intermediate stiffening arm (G) can be
assembled in 2 positions enabling to adjust length
and position of the wheel according to the forward or
rearward position of the roller. Tighten the 4 screws
(Z) to a torque of 10 daNm / 75 ft.lbs (photo C) after
adjustment.
Fit the support (F) on the left side of the gearbox
(facing forward) (torque to 10 daNm / 75 ft.lbs). Fit
arm (G) onto support (F) using pin (K).
Loosen the 2 bolts (M) to free the wheel (N). Fit the
eccentric pin (O) to the arm (G) so that the hole of the
arm coincides with the hole of the fixing bracket (T)
on the scraper arm (H). Fit the bolt (X) (M16 x 55) and
C
self-locking nut (torque to 22 daNm / 160 ft.lbs). Fit,
without tightening, the adjuster (Y) and nut.
Bring the wheel into contact with the roller, and
tighten bolts (M) (torque to 22 daNm / 160 ft.lbs).

b) Adjusting the scraper plates

- The hard coated thick scraper plates have been

factory pre-set on a reference roller. Therefore,
they are nearly in the correct working position after
mounting the scraper bar (paragraph a, p.24).
When the machine is attached to the tractor, always
check that the roller can rotate freely.
- If necessary, readjust the scraper plates in order to
bring them close to the roller and tighten with
screws (V) (photo A, page 24) (torque 8 daNm / 60
ft.lbs). Also check that the scraper plates are only
slightly in contact with the roller’s highest point D
when rotating so that they don't interfere with it’s
rotation.
- Also make sure that the scraper plates (P) are well centred with regards to the stud rows (E) (photo D). The scraper
plate supports (A) are equipped with oblong holes enabling to recentre them by sliding them crosswise at the screw
level (C) (torque 10 daNm / 75 ft.lbs).
- For wide rollers (more than 3.00 m), slightly tighten the adjuster (Y) mounted on the central arm (G) (photo C).
When the scraper plates are replaced fit the new scrapers in the original position with the hard coating
downwards.

c) Cleaning the scrapers

In case of crop residue build-up, it is recommended for cleaning that the scraper be pivoted backwards around
the 2 upper bolt holes (R) (photo A). To do this, untighten the 4 lower bolts (R) and release the 2 adjusters (Q)
after loosening their self-locking nuts (S) (photo B, page 24).
To ease pivoting of the scraper bar towards the rear, use a lever in holes (L) (photos A and B, page 24) placed
at each side of the scraper bar (H).

Note : For rollers with more than 3 m width it is also necessary to release bolt (X) and adjuster (Y) (photo C)
to pivot the scraper bar rearwards.
After cleaning, tighten the bolt (X) (torque 22 daNm / 160 ft.lbs).

 OPERATION

BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY OPERATION ON THE MACHINE, STOP THE TRAC-
TOR ENGINE, REMOVE IGNITION KEY AND WAIT FOR ALL ROTATING PARTS TO
STOP BEFORE LEAVING THE TRACTOR.

The amount of soil crumbling depends on the type of work to be carried out. The following points will influence
the tilth produced:

1) Rotor frequency
2) Forward speed: 2 to 8 km/h (1 - 5 mph)
3) Working depth (roller adjustment)
4) Roller bars removed or in place (for crumbler roller equipped machines)
5) Levelling bar in place or removed.

Depending on soil conditions, the operator should evaluate these five factors in order to achieve the tilth required.
For seedbed preparation, a precise adjustment of the roller depth is necessary to ensure the optimum tilth. As
a guide, for a sowing depth of 2 to 5 cm (1 - 2"), the optimum power harrow working depth is from 5 to 10 cm
(2 - 4").
In extreme conditions (autumn work in damp ground), the roller can be completely raised. Stabilise the machine
working depth either using the tractor position control or tractor draught control. NEVER REMOVE THE
ROLLER.

Hints on use :

- Allow the rotors to rotate at their working frequency before engaging it into the soil. Gradually lower the machine
while pulling forward with the tractor.

- Always work in a straight line. When turning, lift machine out of work.

- Do not disengage the PTO drive unless the machine has been lifted out of work.

- An accurate setting of the tractor’s draft control can effectively protect the power harrow against sudden load
changes (change in soil conditions or hidden obstacles). The momentary lifting of the power harrow by the
tractor hydraulics allows the difficulty to be passed without risk of damage.

Important remarks :

Like many farm machines, use of the rotary harrows entails limits which must be respected in all situations. These
limits are often tied in with :

- meteorological conditions : avoid working during and immediately after rainfall, wait until ground to be
worked is completely drained,

- soil types : smooth clods indicate too malleable or too humid soil to be worked in. Wait until ground is
completely drained. Soil consistency is ideal when clods crumble without sticking,

- tractor power : adapt working depth, forward speed and rotor frequency to power available and type of work
to be done. Never exceed the maximum allowable tractor DIN power (see table page 11).

- nature of work to be carried out : the power harrow is an excellent implement for secondary tillage and
preparing the seedbed after ploughing, chiselling or loosening the soil. On the other hand, it is clearly less
efficient for primary tillage work especially on hard and dry ground.

 OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

1)LEVELLING BAR
Kit no. 123 8660 for HR 303*
Kit no. 123 8680 for HR 403*

The levelling bar (D) may be fitted to the front or the rear
of the rotary power harrow.

- Fitting the levelling bar to the front (photo 26)

This allows pre-levelling in difficult conditions and
breaks up some of the larger, dry clods.
- Fitting the levelling bar to the rear (photo 27)
Fitting the levelling bar (D) to the rear of the machine
is facilitated when the roller arms are fitted in their rear-
most position (E') (photo 17, page 21). The levelling bar
at the rear improves the crumbling performance of the
machine on dry land. 26
It also ensures correct functioning of the packer roller
on sandy land. However, it is not recommended to
fit the levelling bar at the rear of the machine in
wet, sticky soil, or when there is a lot of stone.
Important remark : The mounting of the levelling
bar to the rear increases the machine horsepower
requirement. It is recommend to remove the level-
ling bar if not required at work.

A levelling bar unit consists of :

- 2 support units (A) (photos 26 and 27),
- a levelling bar (D) which fits into the yokes of the
supports (A) (photos 26 and 27),
- 2 mounting pins (B) to keep the bar at the desired
height (photos 26 and 27), 27
- 2 screws – handles (C and H) and their round nuts (E)
to adjust the bar height (photo 26 and 27)
- 2 bolts (F) (photo 26 and 27).

Figure 30 on page 33 indicates how to position the

levelling bar holders; the position varies according to
the width of the power harrows.
Mount supports (A) without tightening hardware (G)
completely.
Fit the leveling bar (D) with the oblique side directed
towards the front (see arrow, drawing 29) and secure
using pins (B) (photo 26 and 27).
Mount both bolts (F) which guide the leveling bar when
adjusting the height (photo 26 and 27).
Mount the screw-handle-nut assemblies (C,E,H) (photo
26 and 27). 29
Check that the leveling bar (D) can move up and down
freely, then tighten screws (G) of supports (A) (torque :
10 daNm / 75 ft.lbs).
The height of the bar is to be adapted to the soil type and to the machine working depth. Once it has been adjusted
to the desired height, secure with pins (B) and fold handles (H) onto round nuts (E) to stop screws (C) from rotating
(photo 26 and 27).

2) WHEEL TRACK ERADICATORS

In order to reduce the tractor wheel marks left on the seedbed, the power harrow may be equipped with wheel
track eradicators.
Depending upon the working conditions and machine widths, various types of track eradicators may be ordered.
A track eradicator set made up by 2 rails fitted on the trough each one carrying one or two track eradicators.

Each track eradicator set is made up by :

- 1 set of tine holders Kit no. 123 8840 for HR 303*

Kit no. 123 8850 for HR 403*

- 1 set of 2 track eradicator tines Kit no. 121 6610 for the traction bolt overload mechanism
Kit no. 121 6620 for the adjustable spring overload mechanism

Fit the rails (S) on the beam symmetrically with regards to headstock. The 4 m supports include an additional
rail mounting bracket (A) to support the outer end of the rail. Figure 30 on page 33 shows the positions for fitting
the track eradicators according the width of the rotary harrows.
The eradicator tine mounting yokes (C) are to be fitted on the rails (S) in such a way as to have the nuts positioned
at the front as shown on photos (31 and 32), to avoid any interference when a front levelling bar is mounted.
The height of the leg (L) with reversible share (F) can be adjusted according to the depth of the wheel tracks by
means of a pin (N) (photos 31 and 32). Nevertheless, the working depth of the shares must never exceed
100 mm (4").

The track eradicators are equipped with an overload mechanism should they encounter an obstacle :
- with traction bolt (T) (photo 31) : breakage of the bolt (ref. 801 310 51) with its nut (ref. 802 010 30)
- with adjustable spring (U) (photo 32) : the tine clears the obstacle and regains automatically its position.
Recommended in difficult or stony grounds.

31 32

- 34 -
The track eradicators must be mounted centred with regards to the tractor wheels, one per wheel (photos 33
and 34). In the case of dual wheels or large tyres, additional track eradicator tines can be fitted (to be ordered
under n° 123 8530 or 123 8540).

33 34

NOTE : Track eradicators are only to be used for secondary tillage work.

3) REAR 3-POINT LINKAGE (FOR ADDITIONAL IMPLEMENTS)

(photos 35 and 36) Kit no. 124 6020

35

- 35 -
A 3-point linkage can be supplied for the rotary power harrow so that it is possible to attach an additional
implement such as a seed-drill, which gives the possibility of reducing the number of working passes required.
The rear 3-point frame is to be fitted on the power harrow headstock by means of two bolts (B) and one pin (T)
(photo 35). A spacer washer (D) (Ø 20 x 45 x 8) must be added between the frame uprights (C) and the headstock
mounting plates in order to minimise the lateral play at (B).
The length of the lower links (L) can be adjusted so as to reduce the overhang of the combination.
The height adjustment of the lower links (L) is achieved by the 2 chain adjusters (E) (photo 35).
The distance between the lower links is adjusted by displacing the 4 spacers (J) laterally on the cross-shaft (K).
Sideways stability of the 2 lower links (L) is ensured by the tightness of both crossed chains (M) (photo 35).

According to need, the cross-shaft (K) can be fitted

with its bend downwards (photo 35) or upwards
(photo 36). It is secured in its selected position by the
special locking sleeve (J’) (photo 36).

36

NOTE : All gearboxes are fitted with a rear PTO shaft (P) (photo 35), which rotates in the same direction and
at the same frequency as the tractor PTO. This rear PTO shaft must not be used to transmit
more than 37 kW (50 hp). This rear PTO shaft should not be used with the gears disengaged
(neutral position) when driving a combined implement (this could damage the gearbox due to
lack of lubrication).

The rear PTO shaft guard is fitted with a cover. This cover (G) must always be replaced when
the rear PTO shaft is not in use (see photo 15 A, page 19 and photo 16 A, page 20).
Ensure that the rear linkage lower links (L) do not rest on the roller or its scraper bar when in transport
position.

- 36 -
4)REAR 3-POINT LINKAGE WITH HYDRAULIC LIFT (photo 37)
Kit no. 124 6030

The 3-point linkage with hydraulic lift cylinders (V) reduces the overhang of a combination (rotary harrow -
seeder, for example) by lifting back the combined machine over the harrow (see photo 39 on page 38).

37
a) Assembly :

The hydraulic rear 3-point frame is to be fitted on the power harrow by means of two bolts (G) and one pin (H)
(photo 37). A spacer washer (Ø 20 x 45 x 8) must be added between the frame uprights and the headstock
mounting plates in order to minimise the lateral play at (G).
Hydraulic cylinders (V) necessitate at least one single acting valve on the tractor.
Attach hydraulic hoses (K) to the front of the frame by means of 2 hose clamps (N) and connect hoses to the
cylinders (V) as shown in photo 37.

To allow adaptation of Category 1 and Category 2 implements, hooks (A) and spacers (B) can be assembled in
different ways : either to the inside or to the outside of rear frame (C) to obtain desired span.
The hooks (A) can also be adjusted in height (two positions). The locks (D) are used to secure the secondary
implement's lower link pins inside hooks (A) (photo 37, page 37 and photo 39).

38
To reduce the machine overhang to the minimum possible, the linkage lower hooks (A) can be adjusted forwards
through 22 cm (8") (photo 37).
The standard ex-works position can be changed:
- rearwards : by using the 2 rear positions of the linkage arm (W) with the 4 holes (U) of the arm (S) (photo
37).
- frontwards : by first placing the rear frame (C) into position (Y), then by using the 2 front positions of the linkage
arm (W) with the 4 holes (U) of the arm (S) (photo 37).

Note : In position (Y), the 2 spacers (Z) should be removed.

b) Combination with a machine with PTO drive

(for example a pneumatic seed-drill - photo 39)
Set of 2 chain stroke limiters Kit no. 124 6040

When combining the power harrow with a PTO

driven machine, it is necessary to fit 2 limiting
chains (E) (kit no. 124 6040) which protect the
PTO shaft (T) from bottoming out or being placed
at too severe an angle for its universal joints.
Before first using the combination, it is necessary to:
- fit the transmission (T),
- progressively lift the rear fitted machine until the
transmission is at its shortest point, at the same
time ensuring that there is always a safety clear-
ance (X) of 1 - 2 cm (0.5 - 1"),
- fit the 2 limiting chains (E) as shown in photo 39, 39
and tighten the tensioners (R) to prevent the hydraulic cylinders (V) from lifting any further.
The rear hydraulic linkage can then be safely used.
Thomas : cette phrase ne figure pas ds le manuel anglais : volontaire ou oubli ? Pour le transport sur route,
on peut déconnecter l'arbre de transmission à cardans (T) et décrocher les chaînes de limitation (E) pour
permettre un meilleur rabattement du semoir au-dessus de la herse rotative.

- 38 -
c) Safety chain

A safety chain (H) is supplied with

the linkage, and prevents accidental
lowering of the rear implement dur-
ing transport (photo 40).

This safety chain (H) must be fitted between the

chassis (L) and the rear linkage (P) using 2 pins (A)
(photo 40).

d) Maintenance of the linkage

Regularly grease the pivot points fitted with grease nipples. 40

When parking the combination, make sure that the rear implement is lowered first.

NOTE : The power harrow is fitted with a rear PTO shaft (P) (photo 37) which rotates in the same direction and
at the same frequency as the tractor PTO. This rear PTO shaft must not be used to transmit
more than 37 kW / 50 hp.
This rear PTO shaft should not be used with the gears disengaged (neutral position) when
driving a combined implement (this could damage the gearbox due to lack of lubrication).

The rear PTO shaft guard is fitted with a cover. This cover (G) must always be replaced when
the rear PTO shaft is not in use (see photo 15 A, page 19 and photo 16 A, page 20).

Two safety decals (Q) and (F) are placed on the rear hydraulic linkage as shown in photo 37. They are for your
safety, and the safety of people working with you. Check their location and read them carefully. Always keep the
decals clean and legible. Replace them if they become damaged.

7) TRANSPORT PLATFORM
(Manufacturer in France : Ets. COCHET,
LE GUE ORY F - 72130 SOUGE LE GANELON)

When transporting a HR 403* working width on public roads, it is necessary to orientate it in a lengthways position
using a transport platform which can be delivered as an optional extra.

The lengthways transport platform is intended solely for power harrows possibly fitted with genuine KUHN
accessories, and with an extra machine attached or integrated into it (eg seed drill). The gross weight of this
transport equipment should not exceed 6 tons.

Weight of the transport platform : 1300kg / 2860 lbs

Place the machine onto the platform in such a way

that the roller rests firm on the adjustable metallic
boxes (photo 41).

41

Make sure the machine is correctly attached to the

platform by chains, straps etc (in particular on the
pivoting lower attachment yokes (photo 47), to avoid
anything falling accidentally.

8) HARD COATED PACKER ROLLER SCRAPER PLATES

These scraper plates, which are more resistant to wear and tear, are available as replacement parts under
part no. 525 600 10 for the packer roller and the PK2 packer roller.

9) NYLON CLEANING PLATES FOR PACKER ROLLER SCRAPERS

Part No. 525 702 00 for the packer roller and the PK2 packer roller
Part no. 525 923 00 for the maxipacker roller

These cleaning plates are made from a supple synthetic

material which enables them to be slightly pre
compressed against the roller for improved cleaning
action.

a) Installation and adjustment (photo 43) :

The nylon cleaning craper plates (R) are to be placed :

- between two new standard steel scraper plates (S)
(525 321 30) for standard packer rollers, by using a
longer screw (V) (part No 500 073 00),
- between two non hardcoated steel scraper plates
(S) (525 989 10) on maxipacker rollers, by using a
longer screw (V) (part No 800 312 40). 43
Allow the nylon cleaning plate (R) to stick out of the carrier plates (S) by 10 mm and press it slightly against the
roller so that its leading edge is in contact with the roller segment across its full width. Rotate the roller one
complete turn to check that there is no gap between roller and nylon cleaning plate. Re-adjust the plate if this
is not the case. Also check that the upper carrier plate is set parallel to the roller segment and does
not come into contact with it.

b) Use :

The nylon cleaning plate is particularly recommended for light, loamy or chalky grounds with little crop residue
or stones. A correct cleaning plate adjustment results in a clean and shiny roller area across the full width of the
cleaning plates.
Soil deposit on the roller will result in premature cleaning plate wear. Readjust them quickly. The cleaning plate
is reversible for increased service life.

10) P.T.O. SHAFTS

The PTO shaft is available in the following versions to fit the tractor PTO stub:
- W 2500 1”3/8, 6 splines : code 4600 502

FOR TROUBLE FREE OPERATION OF YOUR MACHINE,

WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF SHELL PRODUCTS.

2) POSITIONING OF THE BLADE HOLDERS

The blade holders are positioned in a particular order to avoid vibration of the machine. When opening the
gearcase to remove one or more gearwheels, take care when reassembling that the correct position relative to
the tine holders is maintained. The position of the tine holders may be drawn onto the soil, referring to the diagram
below. This machine is viewed from above when standing at its rear side.

POSITIONING OF THE BLADE HOLDERS IN DEGREES

Before replacing blade holders, take special care to mark their original position, and change
one at a time. It is critical that the blade holders be replaced in their position to avoid the
risk of interference which could cause serious damage to the machine.

- 44 -
To remove the blade holders (T) from their transmis-
sion shaft (A), simply remove the special bolts (G) and
their lock washers (H) (fig. 52).
When refitting supports (T), tighten bolts (G) to a
torque of 30 daNm / 220 ft.lbs. Apply Loctite 243 to
the bolts (G).
Check regularly the tightness of the fixing bolts (G) of
the supports (T).

3) CHANGING THE BLADES

Each support (T) is fitted with 2 blades (K) which

must be fitted so that their tapered edge faces the
direction of rotation (R) of the rotor (fig. 52).

The blades (K) are installed in their supports (T)

using the brackets (L) and the special lynch pins (M)
(fig. 52).
To facilitate the removal of the lynch pins (M), use
the special key (N) supplied with the machine
(photo 53). 52

When changing the blades, the lynch

pins must also be replaced. They
have been specially designed and
tested for this use. Therefore, al-
ways use original parts only.

4) Check regularly that there are no objects

wrapped around the blade holders (twine,
wire, crop residues...). To avoid wear of
bearing housings, remove any wrapped
objects.
