Problems with Land Pride GS

[sandi]

Having problems with my new Land Pride GS. Raised blades flush as instructed by Land Pride. No matter how I adjust, continues to leave windrows. Using on gravel and dolomite. Need help.

So, uh, what size? What size tractor? Scarifiers on the GS?

Define windrows? Like stripes on either side of larger amounts of gravel? What kind of gravel are you in? Crush and Run or 67s?

If you are referring to the sides leaving little stripes in the gravel or dirt this is a common thing due to the weight of the implement in soft material be it dirt or gravel. You can reduce it somewhat by elevating the front 1/2 to 1 inch with the top link but the marks will not disappear totally. Mine does this same thing so at times I just drive over them with the tractor or truck wheels to push them down or, I live with it.

In really soft material my Land Pride GS2484 will leave a slight ridge on each side as I pull thru. Not enough of a problem to even consider. I will remove those ridges with subsequent multiple passes. Eventually any and all ridges will be beaten down by the tires from traffic use.

If you are really concerned - back drag with your bucket on the FEL. OR - flatten with some type of heavy roller. OR do a final drag with a chunk of chain link fencing.
