Hey guys. Restoring one of our old 60-70s era drills. Planning on using it for hay millet this year. Going 1/4inch deep. Flipping through my 26 page book I does not mention a single thing about setting depth. I sort of remember as a kid the crustbuster we actually used had a depth control based off the tire hydraulics. And the press wheels just did their own thing based off a pressure spring setting.
On this one the wing tires are on a separate remote/hydraulics than the transport tires. So I’m definitely missing something. My dad doesn’t remember and unfortunately my grandfather has passed on.
