6. How low of a crop can you divide?
Minimum crop height is 20 inches.
7. How heavy should I set the resistance of the cones?
It should take 5-10 lbs of force to lift the tip of the Cropsaver when set properly.
8. What happens if I set the resistance too light?
The dividers will bounce around and can cause damage.
9. I am snapping bolts.
The dividers may be set too light, they will bounce around. OR: Going through heavy canopy (eg: podded
canola) will snap bolts.
10. How far in front of the tire should the cone be?
No less than 1.5” and no further than 10”.
11. How high should we run the dividers?
1/3 of the height of the crop from the lowest point of the divider not the tip.
12. Can I follow tram lines from earlier in the season?
You have to be careful doing this as there may be ruts left from the original pass. Cropsavers will not
bottom out and lift up in a rut, they can catch on the sides of the rut and a run-over could occur.
13. When I turn the wheels of my machine the Cropsaver cones drop down?
The tires pivot when the wheel is turned, the Cropsavers will move down slightly this is normal on some
machines.
14. Does my Cropsaver cone have to be perfectly centered with the tire?
No, as long as the Cropsaver cone covers the entire width of the tire it can be off centre.
15. Do Cropsavers work in canola?
Yes, if the canola is flowering or in the early podding stage it is dividable. If the crop isn’t so tangled that
you are able to walk through it, it will be dividable.
16. Is there an easy way to remove the Cropsavers?
Yes, please refer to page 14 of the owners manual or refer to the Cropsaver Video section of tridekon.com.
It’s also possible to find a balance point on your Cropsaver arms and weld in a link so you can use a fork lift
to carry the Cropsavers.
