Operation

TO THE NEW OPERATOR OR OWNER

The Degelman Strawmaster® is designed for
effective straw management, weed control,
herbicide application, raking flax residue and
following ground contour. The Strawmaster®
is fully adjustable from tine angle to operating
height with the use of gear driven jacks or
optional hydraulics. The harrow sections can
operate in a float position or under a variable
amount of pressure with the use of hydraulics and
spring bars.

It is the responsibility of the owner or operator
to read this manual carefully to learn how to
operate the machine safely, and how to set it to
provide maximum efficiency. Safety is everyone’s
business. By following safe operating practices, a
safe environment is provided for the operator and
bystanders.

The manual will take you step-by-step through
your working day. By following the operating
instructions in conjunction with a good
maintenance program your machine will provide
many years of trouble-free service.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The Strawmaster® harrow sections consist of five
rows with ten tines per row which hold the straw.
As the tines drag along the ground, they
oscillate to build up
a high frequency
vibration and provide
a shattering action
which breaks up the
straw allowing the residue
to be spread evenly as it
is released. When stood
vertically the tines will
rake flax residue.

3

BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OPERATION

• Operating speed will depend on tractor
horsepower, environmental conditions and each
particular operation. A speed of 8 to 12 MPH.
(12 to 16 KPH) is suggested to efficiently shatter
and spread straw and residue.

• Operating height for the harrow will vary with
the length of the tines, and the angle that the
tines are set at. As the tines wear down, the
height of the machine from the ground will have
to be adjusted down proportionally. (Refer to
the Height Adjustments section)

• The harrow sections can be set in float position,
where the section drags the ground under its
own weight.

• Pressure can be applied using the hydraulics
to rotate the beam further back. The spring
bars will deflect to apply pressure to the
harrow section and the ground. The amount of
pressure to apply will depend
on the application,
and the operator’s
preference.

• Some suggested settings can be found in the
“Suggested Tine Angle Settings” section. As
there are only a few standard guidelines, feel
free to experiment with ground clearance, tine
angle and section pressure to obtain desired
results for each operation.

Operation - Suggested Tine Angle Settings

The following lists suggested tine angle settings. Since
there are no standard angles for running the tines,
the operator may adjust the tine angles as required to
achieve desired results.

REMEMBER:

• actual settings will vary with tine wear.

• ensure trailer and frame are leveled properly.
(Refer to the “Height Adjustment” section.)

FIELD PACKING

• Begin operating Strawmaster®
with the lift hydraulics in float
position, if more compaction is
required, rotate 8”x8” beam by
extending main lift cylinders.

• To avoid deep ridges in your
field, reduce down pressure and operate at lower
speeds; 5 - 6 mph.

• If packing is done after seeding, make sure to
check that seed is not being disturbed.

• To prevent tine damage, avoid tight turning.

REMEMBER WHEN OPERATING:

• straw should be dry.

• if machine leaves

clumps of straw,
apply slight down
pressure by
extending hydraulic
lift cylinders.

RAKING

4321

MACHINE PREPARATION

• Remove auto-fold cable pins
on the 8”x 8” beam side. Loop
the unfastened end of each cable
around the cart frame and clip
together (or remove auto-fold cable completely). By
simply removing one bolt on each axle, remove both
transport wheel assemblies.

THE FIELD

• Work the field at 45 degrees to the seeding line.

• In order to rake flax straw some down pressure is
required.

• Before built-up straw starts to spill out the back
of the machine dump straw load by lifting harrow
sections.

4321

BREAKING & SPREADING STRAW

• For best results operate at
10 to 12 mph.

• The straw built up in the harrow
sections helps to achieve maximum
rub action to break down straw.

TOUGH STRAW

• Advance the tine angle to a more aggressive
setting. This will hold straw for a longer period
of time, allowing for a more even distribution of
residue. REMEMBER: Breaking down straw is much
more effective in dry conditions.

• A second pass may be required in extremely
heavy straw conditions. (Work the second pass at
a 45 degree angle to how it was worked the first
time).

142635 - Strawmaster 7/7000 (21-January-2019)

4321

• Increasing downward pressure
will help break the soil crust and
place the granule in contact with
moist soil.

• Avoid straw build up in the first two rows of tines.
This makes for a more even granule or seed
broadcast.

IMPORTANT: Always follow label directions for

chemical herbicides.

• Valmar Airflow offers all the necessary hardware
required to neatly install their applicator on the
Strawmaster® 7000.

The Valmar Airflow Model 3255 can be used with
the 50’, 70’ & 82’ Strawmaster®.

The Model 2055 can be used on 50’ Strawmaster®.

HITCH CLEVIS ADJUSTMENT

The trailer frame hitch should be parallel to the
ground when operating. It
will be necessary to adjust
the hitch clevis height each
time the trailer height is
adjusted due to tine wear.

To adjust the hitch clevis
location, hook-up the
tractor to the trailer hitch, following the procedure
in the section “Hook-up/Unhooking”. Stand back
and check to see if the trailer hitch is parallel to the
ground. If not, use the sidewind jack to raise the
trailer hitch and centre the clevis to the drawbar.
Remove the clevis mounting pins and move the clevis
up or down as required. Install the clevis mounting
pins and retainers. Lower the trailer hitch.

Stand back to check if the trailer hitch is level. If
not, repeat procedure.

142635 - Strawmaster 7/7000 (21-January-2019)

When adjustments are complete, check that the
trailer frame is parallel to the ground. If not, adjust
clevis height and re-check. Repeat if necessary.

WING BEAM HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

With the machine in field position, the wing beams
and centre beam should be at the same height,
parallel to the ground. Adjustment to the wing
beam height is required when the tines wear down,
the tine angle is adjusted, or the trailer height is
adjusted.

To Manually adjust height:
Use the manual jack to raise or
lower the wing beam section, until
desired height is achieved.

REPHASING THE CYLINDER CIRCUITS

In order to synchronize the raising and lowering of
the Strawmaster, a hydraulic phasing system has been
implemented in both the Harrow Section circuit and
the Trailer Cart/Wheel Height circuit to help provide
uniform and level lifting.

In order to achieve this, a bypass port is integrated into
the cylinders. Upon full extension a metered amount
of fluid is allowed to bypass the piston seal to the next
adjacent cylinder in the system. This re-adjusts all
cylinders to the same position, then upon retraction
positive sealing is engaged and synchronized operation
continues.

IMPORTANT: To ensure optimum performance all
entrapped air must be purged from the rephasing
cylinder systems frequently. This fully rephrasing
and air purging process is also important because
pressure buildup, or “pressure jacking” may
occur, that may cause damage to the smallest
cylinder. (This process should be done for both the
Harrow Section and the Trailer/Wheel circuits)

The following procedure outlines a suggested method for
purging the air and re-synchronizing the system:

1. Place machine so all sections are lowered and flat in
field position.

2. Set the Tractor flow to Minimum / Moderate.

Do NOT set tractor flow to maximum. Reducing

the oil flow will reduce the amount of air that gets
pressurized and mixed into the oil.

3. Cycle the cylinders - fully extended, fully retracted,
and then fully extended again, this time holding it
fully extended for about 30-40 seconds.

4. Repeat this cycle and hold process about 5 times.

NOTE: Allow
minimal clearance
between swing
arm and latch.

Swing Arm

The cable may stretch after a period of time. The
latch assembly may not swing over far enough to
allow the swing arm shaft to clear.

To adjust the latch assembly, start with the machine
in transport position. Tighten the nut on the eyebolt
until the end of the swing arm shaft clears the latch
assembly.

To check the clearance: Remove the truss beam
from the swing arm and swing forward to check the
clearance. Or, follow the procedure to convert to
machine to field position.

Repeat adjustment procedure if required.

Note: Tines must be replaced when worn down

to 16 in. or less in length. Tines may be replaced
while the machine is in transport position, or field
position.

NOTE: Avoid replacing one tine at a time, unless
wear is minimal. Tines should be replaced all at
once whenever possible so there is even wear to
all the tines. In some instances, (raking operations)
the front row of tines will wear sooner. If this is the
case, replace the front row. Check that wear is
minimal on the other tines.

Auto-Fold Latch

• Insert the swing arm pipe into socket.

• Rotate the pipe forward so it connects with the centre
of the slot on the latch.

• You might have to move the latch arm back & forth in
the slotted bolt holes to align.

• The swing arm should strike the ramp plate of the
latch holder at least half way up. If it doesn’t hit the

ramp at the proper point pull it up with an
overhead crane and check it again.

IMPORTANT: To ensure optimum performance, all

entrapped air must be purged from the rephasing
cylinder systems frequently. Follow the “Rephasing
the Cylinder Circuits” procedure.

1. Place machine so all sections are lowered and
flat in field position.

2. Set the Tractor flow to Min. / Moderate.

Do NOT set tractor flow to maximum. Reducing

the oil flow will reduce the amount of air that
gets pressurized and mixed into the oil.

3. Cycle the cylinders - fully extended, fully
retracted, and then fully extended again, this
time holding it fully extended for about 30-40
seconds.

4. Repeat the cycle and hold process from Step 3
about 5 times.

Limited Warranty - Agricultural Products

Degelman Industries LP (“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
municipality) and (1) year from the date of delivery for commercial use. The obligation of Degelman to the purchaser
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)
days from the date of delivery of such part or the expiration of the applicable new equipment warranty period, which ever
occurs later. Warranted parts shall be provided at no cost to the user at an authorized Degelman dealer during regular
working hours. Warranted replacement parts will either be replaced or rebuilt at Degelman’s discretion.

Disclaimer of implied warranties & consequential damages

This warranty shall not be interpreted to render Degelman Industries LP liable for injury, death, property damage or
damages of any kind, whether direct, consequential, or contingent to property. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Degelman shall not be liable for damages resulting from any cause beyond its reasonable control, including,
without limitation, loss of crops, any expense or loss of labour, supplies, rental machinery or loss of use.

No other warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied is made with respect to this sale; and all implied warranties
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
and Re-torque of fastening hardware, Hydraulic fluid purities, drive train alignments, and clutch operation)

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 LP 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.

This limited warranty is subject to compliance by the customer to the enclosed Retail Customer’s Responsibility Under

Degelman Warranty.
