Years In Service

1986 - 1991

Versatile Tillage Implement

FH 330 Series have twelve floatation tires under all 3-plex models and eighteen under our 5-plex model

Designed for light and medium primary tillage when using an 11" sweep, or a 4" sweep or 2" reversible spike for heavy primary tillage conditions.

Offered at 32' to 52' working widths
The 8" spaced, full 5-row design achieves superior trash clearance capability along with smooth field finish
3½” tubular frame construction
32" minimum row shank spacing
Retractable pole hitch
8'6" frame depth

High tensile strength, hollow structural frame tubing

The FH 230 series 3-plex models were equipped with twelve floatation tires and the 5-plex model was equipped with eighteen tires ensuring excellent floatation.

Front castoring wheels have a large pivot shaft and nylatron wear bushings to ensure years of reliable service.

Precision Depth Control Hydraulics

Quick Shift Depth Control allows the operator to easily adjust the cylinder stroke from a remote and convenient position outside the cultivator frame. It also has a unique precision calibration feature which insures precise depth adjustment especially critical when air seeding.
Double Line Lock/Pressure Limit Valve is incorporated into the slave cylinder hydraulic depth-control system, for better depth control and overall system performance.

All 330 series cultivators used a 330 lb. initial tension spring cushion shank assembly.

The following combination of features make the shank assembly an outstanding value:

3/4" x 2" tempered shank
There is only one wear point on each spring cushion assembly, protected by a nylatron bushing which requires no greasing and is exceedingly resistant to wear.
A single extension spring applies a constant 230 lbs. of initial tension.
