Shank OptionsFixed Frame Models:• 24” Shank for ‘Knock On’ Points• 24” Shank for ‘Slipper’ PointsGrassland ‘Breakback Leg’ Models:• 30” Shank for ‘Slipper’ PointsFolding Models:• 30” Adjustable Shank for ‘Slipper’ PointAdjustable ShanksThe 30” shanks used on the folding models are height adjustable via combinations of holepositions located at the top of the shank; this allows the working depth of the machine tobe varied to suit particular requirements or conditions. The same shanks are utilized ongrassland models fitted with breakback legs, but it is important to stress that when used onthese models they should not be height adjusted as the working depth is controlled by therear roller only and any adjustment of the shanks would result in them fouling on the rearroller when they breakback.The correct front and rear hole height positions when used on grassland models areindicated A & B below:Shank hole positions for Grassland ‘Breakback’ ModelsCAUTION: Do not use hole positions other than those indicated above on Grassland models– failure to observe this can result in the shank fouling the rear roller during breakback.PointsAll shanks use a choice of two types of points as listed below;• Wide points for shallow cultivation down to a depth of approx 12”• Narrow points for deep cultivation down to a depth of approx 24”All folding models use ‘slipper’ points only whereas standard fixed frame models can useeither ‘knock on’ or ‘slipper’ type points dependant on the type of shank they are to befitted to.NOTE: ‘Slipper’ and ‘knock on’ points are not inter-changeable – they will only fit thespecific type of shank they were designed for.6
