An agricultural tillage implement includes a carriage frame assembly having a pull hitch extending in a travel direction, an axle with a rocker arm extending therefrom, a tube pivotally attached to an end of the rocker arm, and a depth control assembly associated with the tube. The depth control assembly includes a slide surrounding the tube and slidably movable along the tube, and a rod threaded with an opening associated with the slide. The rod has an opposing end with a crank arm and a handle at a distal end of the crank arm. The handle is configured as a ballast to prevent inadvertent adjustment of the depth control assembly during operation of the tillage implement.
