8.6.1 Adjusting and checking the seed placement depth
The seed placement depth depends on the factors

Soil type (light to heavy)

Forward speed

Seed placement depth position

Coulter pressure.
Check the placement depth when one of the factors has changed.
1. Set the coulter pressure, see section "Coulter pressure, seed rate increase, and coulter lift", page
151 . Particularly on heavy soils, a higher coulter pressure maintains the seed placement depth
more constantly.
2. Adjust the seed placement depth using the
central key (Fig. 183), see section "Seed
placement depth", page 78.
3. Seed approx. 30 m to 50 m at working
speed.
4. Expose the seed at a number of points.
5. Check the seed placement depth.
6. If the desired seed placement depth is not
reached, change the seed placement depth
accordingly and repeat the procedure until
the desired seed placement depth is
reached.
7. Insert the central key into the transport
bracket, see section 5.5, page 57.
