I set my C251, mounted on the tractor, on a level concrete surface.
Make sure the runners are level. I had to hook up the rod from the fast hitch to the touch control. This is the one on the right side of the tractor that controls front to back pitch.
Per operators manual. Wheels on the tractor should be set so that they DO NOT run in the same track as on the last pass. That puts the tractor off level. I have mine set all the way in.
They're are 2 adjusting wheels on the planter, shown in 1st picture. Tighten those up till there is no slack. Set the lock wing nut so nothing moves.
That sets the depth to however much the tractor settles in the freshly tilled dirt. If that's still too deep loosen the wing nuts and tighten them up a little till you get the proper depth. Some trial and error in all of this,
I set a 1x4" under the runners, again on level concrete, This gets the runners 3/4" off the concrete with the planter down. This is about the right depth for my soil.
