GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The John Deere No.
200A Beet Harvester consists of two units, an
integrally mounted topping unit and a towed
harvesting machine. The harvesting unit includes
digging unite, elevators, and a sorting table.
The topping unit con- sists of finder wheels,
back rack, coulters, conveyor, and topping
blade. When operating as a single unit, a J hn
Deere model 60, A, or G, series tractor is
required. However, if operated as two individual
units, which is recommended where the ground is
wet and an excessive amount of wheel slippage is
encountered, the topping unit may be mounted on a
J hn Deere model 50 or B seriee
tractor. From one to four operators are required
depending on field conditions. In some fields
where the ground is friable and has no tendency
to be cloddy, it is sometimes possible for one
man-the tractor operatorto operate the entire
harvester. Then the only other persons needed in
the field are the drivers of the trucks. Steering
the harvesting unit is necessary when the field
has been erratically planted, or when deep and
irregular water furrows are encountered. NOTE
Right-hand end leJt-hand sides are determined by
Jacing in the direction the machine rift iranel

• GENERAL OPERATI NG l NST RUCT IONS
• PREPARING THE HARVESTER FOR OPERATING
• Before taking the beet harvester into the field,
  whether it is for the first use of the machine,
  the first entry into a new field, or the
  beginning of daily operation, there are several
  things that should be done to insure efficient
  results throughout the harvesting season.
• By following the check list below, many field
  delays resulting from im- proper operation, can
  be avoided.
• CHECK LUBR ICATION. Lubricate according to
  instructions on pages 25 through 31.
• CHECK SORTING BELT. Tension on the sorting belt
  should be released at the conclusion of each
  day's operation to prolong the life of the belt.
  Be sure thie tension is reapplied before the
  harvester is put into uee again.
• CHECK TRANSPORT SUPPORTS. Remove the weight of
  both the topper and the harvester units from
  their transport support brackets, and raise and
  lower the units a few times to be sure their
  action is smooth and positive. See transporting
  instructions on page 9.
• CHECK OPERATION. Operate all moving parts for a
  short time to see that all parts are working
  freely.
• CHECK ROW WIDTH. Be sure the row width setting
  of the harvester coincides with the row spacing
  of the beets to be harvested. See row spacing
  adjustments on pages 10 and 11.
• CHECK GURSS ROWS. Before entering the field,
  deterinine which rows are guess rows and start
  operating so that at no time will the guess rows
  be straddled.

12

• GENERAL OPE RAT I N G I N STRUCT IONS
• TRANSPORTING
• In order to prepare the beet har- vester for
  transportation is it neces-
• sary to raise the topping knives up
• under the tractor as high as possible.
• . The entire unit is lifted by the master '
  lift lever. Be sure the power take-off
• lever is disengaged.
• Place the hook over the finder wheel frame rod
  and push the lever back up into the latch, Figure
  S. This will allow more clearance between the
  knife and the ground.
• For normal operation the hook and lever is
  carried as shown in Figure 6.
• For transpórting the harvester, the inner frame
  and digger wheels are supported by the inner
  frame support bars, Figure 7. To release the
  support bars use the Powr-Trol cylinder to lift
  the inner frame. For
• opezating, the eupport
• bare are held back in ' place by the spring loch
• ing pins.

• OPEN ING THE FIELD
• The first 12 rows must be removed from
• each end of the field. It will be necessary to
  determine how many lande are to be opened
• and how many rows to a land.
• NOTE Do not straddle a guess roar.
• Start harvetting the two rows determined, letting
  the tops fall on the first row to the right. At
  the other end of the field count four rows to the
  right and start back letting the tope fall on the
  same rows as before. The next time around the
  tops will fall in the already harvested area.

13
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• ROW SPACING
• The harvester will operate in 20-inch or 22-inch
  rows, and is shipped assembled for uee in 20-inch
  rows. To change row spacing, follow the pro-
  cedure indicated below, adjusting both digger
  wheels similarly.
• Dtgger Wheels
• Loosen the set screws, Figure 8, securing paddle
  wheels on their shaft.
• Remove bolt, Figure 9, and detach pedestal brace
  from the frame.
• Separate the digger wheel pedestal, Figure 9,
  from the inner frame by removing nuts, bolts,

'

• Remove pin and disconnect drawbar, Figure 10,
  from main frame.
• Reposition the digger wheel pedestal under the
  frame aligning bolt holes in pedestal plate with
  desired holes in inner frame. Attach upper plate
  and secure with bolts and nuts.
• Secure pedestal brace to inner frame at the
  desired row spacing.
• Loosen coulter clamp and slide to desired
  position to most effectively cut trash for digger
  wheels. Set approximately S inches to each side
  of
• center of row.

. .

1. Attach draft links straddling the plate for
   20-inch rows or straddling the lug for 22-inch
   rows, as shown in Figure 10.
2. Slide the paddle wheels into a position providing
   about 3/8-inch clearance between paddle wheels
   and digger wheels, as shown in Figure 8. Tighten
   the paddle wheel set screws.

SPACINGContinued Carrier Wheels When operating
harvester in 20-inch row spac- ing, the carrier
wheel remain as shipped from the
factoryapproximately 80 inches center to center
of tires. If 22-inch row spacing is desired, it
is necessary to remove the wheel and reverse it
to approximately 88 inches center to center of
tires. Center Paddle Figuca f For 20-inch row
settings, set as shown in Figure 11. For 22-inch
rows, wiove paddles to opposite side of
flange. NOTE due machine slo t to assure that
there is no interference. OPERATING THE
TRACTOR General In normal field conditions the
tractor should be operated at full throttle in
first or second gear when using a J hn Deere
model G tractor or a John Deere model A
tractor built prior to Serial 648,000. When using
a later model 60 or A tractor, operate at
full throttle in second or third gear. When the
harvesting unit and topping unit are used with
separate tractors, the topping unit may be
mounted on J n Deere model 50 or B
series tractor. If using a model B tractor
built prior to serial number B201,000, operate at
full throttle in first or second gear. If using a
model B tractor with serial number B201,000 or
higher, or a Model 50 Series Tractor, operate
at full throttle in second or third gear. For
further information regarding tractor speeds,
refer to chart on page 14. Powr-Trol The
harvesting unit is equipped for hydraulic
operation with J hn Deere Powr-Trol, or the
hydraulic system of any tractor having sufficient
capacity and utilizing a remote cylinder that
conforms with ASAE-SAE standards. The depth of
digger wheel penetration is controlled by the
Powr-Trol cylinder through the lever mounted on
the tractor. When the cylinder is in the closed
posi- tion as shown in Figure 12, the maximum
amount of digger wheel penetration is
available. Operate the harvester a few feet at a
time, changing the position of the locking pin,
Figure 12, to reduce the operating depth of the
digger wheels unttl beets are being lost. Then
move the pin back one position and secure. For
complete information regarding the Powr-Trol
System, see your Tractor Oper- ator's Manual.

TOPPER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL The topping
unit can be operated on John Deere models 50,
60, A,
B or G series tractors.
Controls 1. The lever mounted on the right side
of the tractor, Figure 13, controls the raising
and low- ering of the coulters. A counter-
balancing spring mounted on the front of the
tractor carries most of the weight of the rolling
coul- ters as they are raised or lowered.

• The entire topping unit is raised or lowered by
  operating the master lever mounted on the left
  side of the tractor, Figure
• 13. This action is aided by count- er-balancing
  springs mounted on each side of the tractor.
  Moving the lever forward raises the top- ping
  unit and moving the lever backward lowers the
  unit into operating position.
• A screw crank, Figure 13, is provided on the
  master lever for finer adjustment of the
  operating position of the topper. This is a field
  adjustment to be used as field conditions
  warrant. Always operate the topper in the highest
  position possible while still topping
  effectively.
• In tough wet condition, it may be necessary to
  split the outfit into two units, in which case a
  power ltft is available if desired. The entire
  topping unit ia then controlled by the power lift
  lever on the tractor.
• NOTE Do not operate topping vnit too low. This
  cavzes ezeessie near on the machine.

• TOPPER ADJUSTING INSTRUCTIONS
• COULTERS
• Three coulters mounted on the front of the
  tractor, Figure 15, are adjustable laterally
  and vertically.
• In clean fields and light tops, coulters may not
  be necessary.
• To change spacings between the
• coulters, loosen the bolts and
  clamps, Figure is
• Figure 15, securing each coulter shank to the
  frame. Slide the coulters to the desired position
  laterally and tighten clamp nuts.
• Clamp bolts, Figure 15, securing coulter to
  coulter shank should allow the coulter to
  swivel freely.
• Jointers, Figure 15, can be adjusted to the
  coulter by the two attaching bolts and should be
  set so the knife cuts cleanl y on its entire
  surface.

• LEVELING MAIN FRAME
• The main frame must run par- allel to the groimd.
  To level this unit loosen the lock nut on the
  adjusting rod, Figure 16.
• Adjust the turnbuckle length- ening the rod to
  lower the rear end of the unit. Adjust the
  turnbuckle shortening the rod to raise the rear
  end of the unit

• KNIFE
• NOTE Be store kinder sheets are all the way
  does and linkage is Jree.
• The knife adjustment screw, Figure 17, regulates
  the distance between the topping knife and the
  finder wheel. By moving the knife up closer to
  the finder wheels, less top will be cut from the
  beets. By moving the knife down, more top will be
  cut from the beets. Set the knife approximately
  3/4 of an inch from the finder wheels for average
  operation.
• The ratio of movement between the finder wheels
  and knife is adjust- able by changing the
  location at which the pin, Figure 17a is secured.
  Three positions are provided. The center position
  is for average topping oper- ations and this
  setting is used in factory assembly.
• If too much crown is cut off high beets and low
  beets are properly topped, move the pin to the
  top hole. If streamers are left on hi gh beets
  and low beets are properly topped, move the pin
  to the bottom hole.
• NOTE Be sure adjustmen!s ate made the same on
  both sides oJ the topper.

• CONVEYOR FLIGHT CHAI N
• The brackets on the left-hand end of the
  conveyor, Figure 18, are provided with slots to
  tight.n the chain. Loosen the lock nut and screw
  adjusting nut in or out.
• This chain should not run tight. Adjust it so
  there is slack because tight chains cause
  excessive wear.
