Description of Unit
The Chisel Plow was the machine that started the age of
“conservation tillage” as we know it today. The 3-Bar
Chisel Plows offer an effective and economic solution to
basic primary tillage. A wide variety of shank
configurations and points allow the producer to fine tune
the Chisel Plow to fit his requirements. Optional
extension kits allow the 3 Bar Chisel Plow to grow with
any operation.

Safety
Investigation has shown that nearly 1/3 of all farm
accidents are caused by careless use of machinery.
Insist that all people working with you or for you abide by
all safety instructions.
Understanding Safety Statements
You will find various types of safety information on the
following pages and on the implement decals (signs)
attached to the implement. This section explains their
meaning.
Special notice - read and thoroughly understand.
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed caution
may
cause injury to person or damage product.
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed warning will
cause injury to person or damage product.
Proceed with extreme caution. Failure to heed
notice will cause injury or death to person and/or
damage product.
You should read and understand the information
contained in this manual and on the implement decals
before you attempt to operate or maintain this equipment.
Examine safety decals and be sure you have the correct
safety decals for the implement. See Figure 1-2.
Order replacement decals through your Brillion dealer.
Keep these signs clean so they can be observed readily.
It is important to keep these decals cleaned more
frequently than the implement. Wash with soap and water
or a cleaning solution as required.
Replace decals that become damaged or lost. Also, be
sure that any new implement components installed
during repair include decals which are assigned to them
by the manufacturer.
When applying decals to the implement, be sure to clean
the surface to remove any dirt or residue. Where
possible, sign placement should protect the sign from
abrasion, damage, or obstruction from mud, dirt, oil etc.
• Do not allow anyone to ride on the tractor or
implement. Riders could be struck by foreign
objects or thrown from the implement.
• Never allow children to operate equipment.
• Keep bystanders away from implement during
operation.
Transporting Safety
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to
comply with all state and local laws.
When transporting the implement on a road or highway,
use adequate warning symbols, reflectors, lights and
slow moving vehicle sign as required. Slow moving
tractors and towed implements can create a hazard when
driven on public roads. They are difficult to see,
especially at night.
Do not tow an implement that, when fully loaded, weighs
more than 1.5 times the weight of the towing vehicle.
Carry reflectors or flags to mark the tractor and
implement in case of breakdown on the road.
Do not transport at speeds over 20 MPH under good
conditions. Never travel at a speed which does not allow
adequate control of steering and stopping. Reduce
speed if towed load is not equipped with brakes.
Avoid sudden stops or turns because the weight of the
implement may cause the operator to lose control of the
tractor. Use a tractor heavier than the implement.
Use caution when towing behind articulated steering
tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the implement to
shift sideways.
Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Know the transport
height and width of your implement.
Attaching, Detaching and Storage
• Do not stand between the tractor and implement when
attaching or detaching implement unless both are
blocked from moving.
• Block implement so it will not roll when unhitched from
the tractor.
1-27D525

INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Maintenance Safety
• Block the implement so it will not roll when working on
or under it to prevent injury.
• Do not make adjustments or lubricate the machine
while it is in motion.
• Make sure all moving parts have stopped.
• Understand the procedure before doing the work. Use
proper tools and equipment.
Protective Equipment
• Wear protective clothing & equipment appropriate for
the job. Avoid loose fitting clothing.
• Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable
hearing protection, such as earmuffs or earplugs.
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be
performed by trained personnel using correct tools and
equipment.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension
hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side, not in
front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if
available.
When removing and installing wheels use
wheel-handling equipment adequate for the weight
involved.

and lockwashers provided. Do not draw bolts up tight
at this time.
2. Assemble the Left Hand brace assembly and Right
Hand brace assembly to the mast and the pads on
the rear frame tube. The 1” x 6” bolt fastens both
braces to the top set of holes in the mast. The 6D998
pipe spacer is used over this bolt. Use the 3/4 x
2-1/2” bolts to attach the other ends of the braces to
the frame. Now, all the bolts can be drawn tight.
3. Place the frame on blocks at least 10 inches high for
the assembly of the hitch brackets. See figure 2-1
and determine the bracket spacings to be used with
the corresponding Category II or III tractor available.
4. When a Category II is used, mount the 7D463 right
hand and 7D464 left hand brackets with the plates for
attaching tractor links offset toward center of
machine.
5. For Category III tractors, mount brackets with plates
for attaching tractor links offset to outside. Assemble
the 7D470 left hand and 7D471 right hand angles to
their mating brackets using 5/8-11 x 4-1/2” bolts and
5/8 x 6” bolts with lockwashers and nuts provided.
Fasten bolts securely.
The 5D157 mast sleeve is to be used on tractors with
Category III. The 5D158 brackets sleeves are used on
tractors with Category III.
When mounting implement to tractor linkage, the upper
set of holes in the 7D463 and 7D464 bracket assemblies
are used with 26” shanks. The lower set of holes are
used with 32” shanks.
The holes in the 7D456 mast to be used will vary with the
different tractor categories available. See Figure 2-2.
Tighten all hardware to the recommended torques. See

Figure 2-2: Mast
The rigid mounted shanks are shipped assembled to the
shank clamps. To mount these on the chisel plow,
remove the 3/4” bolt and nut from the front of the
assembly.
Slide the assembly onto the tooth bar and replace the
bolt and nut. See Figure 2-3 for assembly and location of
shanks.
To mount the shank to the clamp, first remove the nut
from the 3/4 x 3-1/2” bolt and remove the bolt from the
shank holder and from the U-bolt clip.
Loosen the two nuts on the small U-bolt so that the shank
can slide between the plate and the shank holder.
Remove the two locknuts from the long U-bolt and
remove the plate and spring caps.
Slide the shank between the legs of the small U-bolt and
between the plate and the shank holder and also
between the legs of the long U-bolt. Insert the 3/4” bolt
through the shank holder, the shank and the U-bolt clip.
Assemble the spring caps, the plate and the two locknuts
on the long U-bolt making sure the U-bolt is positioned
correctly in the U-bolt clip.
Tighten all nuts. Mount the assembly to the toothbar.
Torque the 3/4” nuts to 200 ft. lbs.
For field operation, the spring bolts should be tightened
so that one inch of thread is exposed as shown in Figure
2-3.
For chisel plowing tougher ground you may want to clamp
the spring tighter.
When this is done, the shank and tooth will not pass over
as great as obstruction.

Twisted Shovels
NOTE
If twisted shovels are to be used, it is suggested that they
be arranged on the shanks as shown in Figure 2-7. (L.H.
means that the soil is thrown left and R.H. means that the
soil is thrown to the right.) If another arrangement is
desired, be sure that the shovels have balanced positions
from right side to left; i.e., a L.H. shovel is the same
distance from the center of the machine as a R.H. shovel
is on the opposite side. Place the plow bolts in the bottom
holes of the shovel as shown in Figure 2-6.
ASSEMBLY
Figure 2-6: Twisted Shovels
Figure 2-7: Shovel Arrangement 7’ Main Frame
The shank clearance, 26”, refers to the distance from the
bottom of the straight portion of the shank to the bottom
point on a regular reversible chisel point which is new.
See Figure 2-3.
When replacing or reversing points, change all points at
the same time so that they will have the same operating
depth. If some shanks have worn points, or points of a
different design, the chisel plow will not operate
efficiently.

When plugging in the LED 7-pin connector:
1) Make sure the tractor has a good clean receptacle, free of dirt and corrosion.
2) Make sure the 7-pin connector is inserted ALL the way in. With tighter fitting pins, operator
maLJ think the connector is all the way in, but really isn’t.
3) Make sure the tractor receptacle cover latches over the keyway on the 7-pin connector to hold
the connector in place.
If an operator plugs in the 7-pin connector, but the lights do not seem to work right, check the above
items to make sure there is a good connection with the 7-pin connector.

NOTE
Operation
This chapter will cover the basic operation and
procedures for the Landoll Brillion Chisel Plow. Be sure to
read and understand the Safety Procedures and
Cautions starting on See Page 1-1.
General
• The chisel plow loosens the soil to the desired depth,
allowing water penetration into the soil. During the
winter, the ground will freeze deeper and “weather
out” much faster.
• Chisel plowing leaves a mulch and residue cover on
the surface, preventing soil surface sealing. Water
will be absorbed quickly into the soil, reducing runoff,
evaporation and soil erosion. The residue cover also
reduces wind erosion.
Operating Tips
• To retard downhill water movement on slopes, start at
the bottom of the slope and work upwards, parallel to
the bottom.
• Chisel the field at an angle to the rows to break up
the ridges.
Before operating your Brillion machine, check all
hardware for tightness. Use the Tightening Torque Table
in Chapter 4 as a guide. See Page 4-1.
Reflectors and SMV Sign
Reflectors and a slow moving vehicle sign (SMV) are
required if the Chisel Plow is transported on a public
road. See Figure 3-1.
Operating Speed
• The chisel works best when operated at a relatively
fast speed; 5 mph or faster. If field conditions are
adverse, operate at a slower speed to reduce the
possibility of implement damage.
• If field conditions are too rough to operate at high
speed at the desired depth, make two passes at an
angle to each other. Make the first pass shallower
than the second pass.

General Torque Specifications
(rev. 4/97)
This chart provides tightening torques for general purpose applications when special torques are not specified on process or
drawing. Assembly torques apply to plated nuts and capscrews assembled without supplemental lubrication (as received condition).
They do not apply if special graphite moly-disulfide or other extreme pressure lubricants are used. When fasteners are dry (solvent
cleaned) add 33% to as received condition torque. Bolt head identification marks indicate grade and may vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer. Thick nuts must be used on grade 8 capscrews. Use value in [ ] if using prevailing torque nuts
