To adjust Kinze 3000 discs to achieve a 2-inch or less setting without a gap by the seed tube protector:

1. Check the disc blades for wear. A new disc measures 15 inches, while a worn-out disc is around 14.2 inches.
2. Lift the gauge wheel and inspect if the seed tube guard is visible. If the seed tube guard is clearly seen, the blades are near the wear limit.
3. Use a 5/8-inch wrench to check the seed tube guard clearance. If the wrench slides over it, the blades are worn out.
4. If needed, replace the disc blades to maintain proper contact and avoid gaps by the seed tube protector.
5. Ensure the discs are adjusted so that they maintain slight contact without excessive resistance.

This will ensure proper seed placement and avoid gaps in the seed trench.
