[QUOTE="Bury the Trash, post: 5989838, member: 12099"] Skims are just about the only thing I don't take a tape measure for in the field. just set them deep enough to cut off the top of the surface weed/trash common fault is to run them too deep which upsets the flow of the plough and very noticeably adds to draft clue is in the name 'skim' and it cant make up for what the mouldboard wont do. have the skim running at an angle thats just a bit more than the early part of the mouldboard angle ...not to 'square' anyway.... as this tends to bulldoze and not slip the trash in over to be buried but in that shallow working angle what might happen to some trash is that it will miss getting turned into the furrow and slip out past around the tip of the skim to land on top of the following furrow as that bit of green trash has done visible in your video . To stop that I weld tip extension's on to the skims using old wings etc..and grind smooth the weld of course...these extensions are just long enough to catch that trash so it all goes the right way but allowing a shallow angle for the skim to work at its best cant do that where there is discs very well but if disc on rear body it wont be relevant anyway Just get someone to drive and walk along beside to observe what is happening to the soil in practise. …and see how upright etc the plough angle from the side etc is running at ...better than trying to watch out the back for awhile whilst driving :D [/QUOTE]
