5.15 RoTeC Control coulter
The RoTeC Control coulter (Fig. 74/1) is used for
seed placement on ploughed or mulched soil,
even with large quantities of straw and plant
residues.
Due to the support of the coulter on the depth
control disc / wheel (Fig. 74/2) and the high
coulter pressure, the coulter runs very smoothly
and accurately maintains the seed placement
depth.
The depth control discs/wheels (see below) are
used for

limiting the seed placement depth

cleaning the rear side of the steel disc (Fig.
74/3).

The Control 25 depth control wheel (Fig. 75/1)
with a 25 mm-wide contact area enables shallow
seeding with increased coulter pressure on light
soils.

The Control 10 depth control disc (Fig. 76/1)
with a 10 mm-wide contact area is used on
heavy soils.
