5.7 Metering
The seed is carried in the seed hopper. The seed goes into the seed housing through adjustable
openings (Fig. 37/1). Each seed housing has an opening. The opening size is adjusted with the sliding
shutters.
The seed is metered either by the normal seed
metering wheel (Fig. 37/2) or the fine seed
metering wheel. The normal seed metering
wheel can be immobilised for fine seeds.
For normal seeding, both seed metering wheels
rotate.
The seed metering wheel conveys the seed to
the edge of the bottom flap (Fig. 37/3). The
metered seed travels through the seed tube to
the seeding coulter.
