The clod clearer (Fig. 37/1) allows the sowing
unit to run smoothly on ground with rough
surface structures.
Do not insert the clod clearer too deeply. The
clod clearer should only clear the large clods off
to the side. If the clod clearer causes complete
earth movement, this has a negative impact
when closing the seed furrows.
If the placement depth is uneven, the clod
clearer can be adjusted one hole deeper, and
the placement depth checked again.
Attach the clod clearers right at the top if they
are not needed.
The adjustable, fore-running closer (Fig. 37/2)
closes the seed furrow. They are suited for
sowing in plough furrows.

Disc furrow closers (optional, Fig. 38/1) close
the seed furrow and are suitable for use behind
a plough as well as for sowing in mulch.
The following rollers close the seed furrow and
press the ground down.
Fig. 38
The intermediate press roller (optional) is used
for small seed.
The intermediate press roller (Fig. 39/1)
presses the seed in. Improved soil coverage
means that more moisture is available for
germination.
