Will someone explain the proper setting for the crank handle that raises the hitch on the front of the disc?
I realize this transfers the weight from front to back,but how should it be set?
Deeper in front or level or deeper in back?
Thanks
HB

Set it in the ground and strive for same depth front and rear. If you happen to be on the next tractor over in field you can see it easily.

When disking if your disk is leaving a crown in center behind you back disks are too deep. Also if you see your front disks throwing big chunks that back disks don't catch they are too deep. Its something you just have to play with bit. Good idea to ocasionally get someone to drive the tractor and just walk along side and behind. A well set wheel controled disk should in theory leave field flat except for the cut by the outside rear disk blade.

If you use every piece of tillage equipment as a leveling device, starting with the plow you will be able to drive any modern day auto at 40 mph and any tractor in high gear in fields and not break an egg in the tool box.

I would adjust it so the front a rear cut about the same depth. It should leave the soil level behind the disc, that is if the center furrow left by the front gangs is not filled level. set the rear a little deeper, etc.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but with the disk hooked to the tractor, and raised, you should adjust the crank such that the disk is about level.
