3. IDEAL OPERATING SPEED is 10-12 mph.
Minimum operating speed is 8 mph.
Maximum operating speed is 14 mph.
4. When making headland turns, the operator may
wish to slightly raise the disc sections by activating
the Wheel (#1) or Roller (#2) cylinders (or both).
Remember to lower after coming out of the turn.
5. Each time you start a new field you may need to
adjust the cutting depth depending on the type of
crop residue or soil conditions. The operator can
adjust the cutting depth by raising/lowering the front
or rear sets of discs by following the guidelines in the
“Setting Disc Depth” section.
6. After making adjustments to the cutting depth it
is recommended to bring the Pro-Till up to speed
(10-12mph) to test the depth setting by driving about
100m (cutting performance changes dramatically
from a slow speed to high speed). Stop, check depth
and cut of field, re-adjust the height higher or lower,
if needed, based on your preference. Remember:
Removing a 1/4” stop lowers cutting depth 1/2”
deeper, Adding a 1/4” stop raises discs up 1/2”
higher.

Adjustment
Front Disc
Depth
Rear Disc Depth
Adjustment
Rear Disc
Depth
Typically
Set to 2”
Use the following as a guideline for setting depth:
Adjusting the cutting depth of the front and rear
discs is accomplished by adding or removing a
number of spacers from specified cylinders.
The spacers limit the stroke distance of the cylinders,
changing the amount that the front and rear of the
disc frames are lowered.
Each spacer that is added to the cylinders raises
the frame height by 1/2”. Therefore, to lower discs
deeper into the soil, you would remove one spacer
for each 1/2” of depth change required.
A typical recommended penetration depth of 2” is
suggested for both front and rear discs. This depth,
however, can be adjusted to the operators needs
and preferences or based on different crop varieties
and soil conditions.
Some operators may also prefer to adjust the front
or rear frame disc sections to run slightly higher
than the other. Adjustments to the front or rear disc
sections are done individually:
• Adjust the front disc height by adding/removing
spacers to the two center section wheel cylinders.
• Adjust the rear disc height by adding/removing
spacers to the two rear wing roller cylinders.
NOTE: As the discs wear with usage, the disc depth
settings will also need to be adjusted accordingly.
1. Drive the PRO-TILL onto level ground. For initial
setup, try "12 Spacers" on each cylinder stop.
2. Fully retract the Wheel (#1) and Roller (#2)
cylinders to lower rear frame to ground.
3. Check the penetration depth of the front and
rear row of discs. Take note of how much you
would like to raise or lower both the front and
rear disc sections - round to the nearest 1/2”.
4. Fully raise the frame back off the ground by
extending the Wheel (#1) and Roller (#2)
cylinders.
5. Adjust Front Disc height from the two center
wheel cylinder positions.
Lower Front Discs - Remove one spacer for
each 1/2 ” you want to Lower it.
Raise Front Discs - Add one spacer for each 1/2 ” you want to Raise it.
6. Adjust Rear Disc height from the two wing roller
cylinders positions.
Lower Rear Discs - Remove one spacer for
each 1/2 ” you want to Lower it.
Raise Rear Discs - Add one spacer for each 1/2 ” you want to Raise it.
7. Repeat above procedure until proper depth is
achieved.

Subsoil leaving a groove every 10”:
- Adjust pitch to level machine (disc rows are not set to
the same depth).
- Adjust pitch to lower rear disc row (front is prone
to running deeper with floating hitch & firm soil
conditions).
- Rear discs following in front disc groove (see
troubleshooting for this below).
End of wing discs cutting deeper or
shallower than center:
- Fully extend wheel & roller depth cylinders & hold for
30 seconds to re-phase.
- Extend wheel adjustment to lift end of wing if cutting
deeper.
- Retract wheel adjustment to lower end of wing if
cutting shallower.
- Check for same number of depth control plates used
on each side.
Leaving a ridge or a groove between passes:
- Adjust deflector up to reduce ridge.
- Adjust deflector down to fill groove.
- Set right rear adjustable disc lower if there is a ridge.
- Set right rear adjustable disc higher if there is a groove.
- Check that end disc size configuration matches factory
suggested setup.
- Reduce implement width on guidance for slightly more
overlap.
Tracking to the left:
- Add a depth stop to wheel cylinders to
adjust the pitch so the front disc is higher.
- Reduce implement width on guidance
system for slightly more overlap.
- Adjust implement offset on guidance
system to the right.
Rear discs following in front disc cut or discs
not doing a full cut:
- Adjust tracking by changing implement pitch.
- Adjust entire front row in small increments either left
or right to achieve full cut.
- Check disc wear & adjust gang spacing or replace
discs as necessary (as discs wear move front row
right).
- Check factory settings on disc row locations to verify
gang clamp hardware is tight & clamps have not slipped.
- Adjust GPS to actual cutting width (see chart) minus 6”
overlap per side depending on working depth.
- Adjust working angle to approximately
20 degrees to the right from previously
worked or seeded rows.
(Recommended practice)
Tracking to the right:
- Add a depth stop to roller cylinders to
adjust the pitch so the rear disc is higher.
- Reduce implement width on guidance
system for slightly more overlap.
- Adjust implement offset on guidance
system to the left.
Hopping or leaving waves:
- Change operating speed (best performance is
achieved over 10 mph).
- Change field working angle (best finishing at 5 to 20
degrees off previously worked).
- Adjust working depth (deeper & run slower or
shallower to run faster).
- Pre-work heavy trash or wet areas at a slower speed
& at a different angle than final pass.
- Wait for soil conditions to dry out more.

HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS
Note: Unless stated otherwise, hardware is typically:
Hex, Plated GR5 UNC or P8.8 (metric)
TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Checking Bolt Torque
The tables below give correct torque values for various bolts
and capscrews. Tighten all bolts to the torques specifi ed in
chart unless otherwise noted. Check the tightness of bolts
periodically, using these bolt torque charts as a guide.
Replace hardware with the same strength (Grade/Class) bolt.
• Make sure that all components in the hydraulic
system are kept in good condition and are clean.
• Replace any worn, cut, abraded, fl attened or
crimped hoses and metal lines.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the
hydraulic lines, fi ttings or hoses by using tape,
clamps or cements. The hydraulic system operates
under extremely high-pressure. Such repairs will
fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe
condition.
• Wear proper hand and eye
protection when searching for a
high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use
a piece of wood or cardboard as
a backstop instead of hands to
isolate and identify a leak.
• If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of
hydraulic fl uid, seek medical attention immediately.
Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from
hydraulic fl uid piercing the skin surface.
• Before applying pressure to the system, make sure
all components are tight and that lines, hoses and
couplings are not damaged.
HYDRAULIC HOSE SPECIFICATIONS
Note: Unless otherwise stated, Hydraulic Hoses are
either 3/8 or 1/2 with 3/4 JIC female swivel ends.
The following tips are to help you identify some possible
problem areas in the installation of hydraulic hoses.
1. Ensure hoses are not twisted during installation as
this may weaken the hose. Also, the pressure in a
twisted hose may loosen fi ttings or connections.
2. Allow suffi cient bend radius in hoses when installing
to prevent lines from collapsing and fl ow becoming
restricted.
3. When installing hoses in an area of movement or
fl exing, allow enough free length for motion and to
ensure fi tting connections are not stressed.
4. Ensure hoses are properly clamped and secured in
position after routing is complete to provide a cleaner
installation and prevent possible damage or hazards.

5. Tighten by rotating the
MAX
second connection fi rmly to at least the 4 o’clock position,
but no more than the 7 o’clock position. Typically, the
larger the fi tting size the less rotation required.
ORFS (O-Ring Face Seal)
ORFS fi ttings use an O-ring compression method to seal.
This method offers a high level of sealing along with good
vibration resistance. Male fi ttings include an O-ring located
in a groove on the fl at face. Female fi ttings feature a fl at
face and UNF straight threaded swivel nut.
The Torque method is recommended for ORFS installation.

Note: A DASH size refers to a diameter of a hose (inside)
or of a tube (outside) measured in 1/16” increments.
For example, a Hose specifi ed as dash 8 or -8 would
have an inside diameter of 8/16” or 1/2”.
Alternatively, a Tube specifi ed as dash 8 or -8 would
have an outside diameter of 8/16” or 1/2”.
ORB (O-Ring Boss)
Male ORB fi ttings have straight UNF threads, a sealing face
and an O-ring. The female fi ttings are generally found in the
ports of machines and feature straight threads, a machined
surface, and a chamfer to accept the O-ring. Sealing is
achieved through the compression of the male O-ring
against the chamfered sealing face of the female fi tting.

Degelman Industries Ltd. (“Degelman”) warrants to the original purchaser of any new Degelman equipment, purchased
from an authorized Degelman dealer, that the equipment will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a
period of two (2) years from the date of delivery, for non-commercial use (including farm, institutional, government, and

under this warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of defective parts in the first year and to the provision, but not
the installation of replacement parts in the second year. Degelman reserves the right to inspect any equipment or parts
which are claimed to have been defective in material or workmanship.
This warranty limits its replacement or repair coverage to what is consistent with the warranty of Degelman’s suppliers of
purchased components.
Replacement or repair parts installed in the equipment covered by this limited warranty are warranted for ninety (90)

of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose which exceed the obligations set forth in this written warranty are
hereby disclaimed and excluded from this sale. This exclusion shall not apply in any jurisdiction where it is not permitted
by law.
This limited warranty shall not apply:
1. If, in the sole opinion of Degelman, the unit has been subjected to misapplication, abuse, misuse, negligence
accident or incorrect off-site machine set-up.
2. To any goods that have sustained damage or deterioration attributable to a lack of routine maintenance (eg. Check

3. If parts not made or supplied by Degelman have been used in the connection with the unit, if, in the sole judgement
of Degelman such use affects its performance, safety, stability or reliability.
4. If the unit has been altered or repaired outside of an authorized Degelman dealership in a manner which, in the sole
judgement of Degelman, affects its performance, safety, stability or reliability.
5. To expendable or wear items such as (eg. Harrow tines, Rock Picker and Rock Rake wear teeth and replaceable
bushings and pins.) and any other items that in the company’s sole judgement are a wear item.
No employee or representative of Degelman Industries Ltd. is authorized to change this limited warranty in any way or
grant any other warranty unless such change is made in writing and signed by the Degelman Service Manager.
This limited warranty is subject to any future availability of supply, which may directly affect Degelman’s ability to obtain
materials or manufacture replacement parts.
Degelman reserves the right to make improvements in design or changes in specifications at any time, without incurring
obligations to owners of equipment previously delivered.
