5.14 WS coulter
Seed drills with WS coulters are used for ploug
seeding.
A guide funnel (Fig. 72/1) delivers the seed im-
mediately behind the share tip (Fig. 72/2). A pre-
cise and uniform placement depth is achieved.
The hinged coulter support (Fig. 72/3) prevents
the coulter outlet clogging when the seed drill is
set down.

5.14.1 Band seeding shoe
WS coulters can be equipped with band seeding
shoes.
Band sowing improves the competition condi-
tions for the growing wheat plants. The precondi-
tion is a well-tilled seedbed.
Band seeding shoe II (Fig. 73/1) is particularly
well-suited for light to medium soils.
The inclined sole compresses the planting area
and reduces the placement depth.
The exact following harrow is required to cover
the seed.
