8. Read the dialogue.

- Hey, what are you doing here?

- Something has gone wrong with the share.

- What's wrong?

- The tines don't work! They don't break the soil properly. The depth of tine operation is too small. That won't do!

- You are quite right! There are some restrictions concerning the seedbed and working depth. It ranges from 1,5 - to - 4,5 m depending on the model.

- I suppose there are some frame faults. One of them is frame distortion.

- Then you must correct it by heating. But I'm afraid the problem is in the share. The blades are blunted, so sharpen them.

- OK! I'll try to do it. Thanks a lot.

- No problem!
