16 Decommissioning, storage and disposal
16.1 Decommissioning the implement
To ensure that the implement remains fully functional, even if it is out of operation for longer periods
of time, it is important to take precautions for storage: To do so, observe Point 16.2.
16.2 Storage of the implement
The implement must be stored in a dry place protected from weather conditions to ensure that it
remains functional even if it is stored for a longer period of time.
The parking surface must be suitable for parking the implement. The ground must be firm and
level, so that the stands do not sink in and the Grassland Combi does not roll away.
To ensure safe parking of the implement, lower the stands at the rear of the Grassland Combi.
Make sure that the tines do not touch the ground in the process to prevent damage to the tines.

s
must be secured with a spring cotter on the pin to prevent accidental loosening.
Secure the implement against unintentional rolling away.
Then the hydraulic hoses to the tractor must be depressurised and uncoupled.
Nothing may be deposited or stored on the implement.
The Grassland Combi must always be parked and stored in a secure area, to prevent
unauthorised operation.
16.3 Disposal
Disposal of the implement must be performed according to the local disposal regulations for
implements.
16.4 Crop cultivation tips when using the GK 400 M1
Seedbed preparation is always required before reseeding. This procedure is optimally accomplished
with the grassland combination Grassland Combi GK 400 M1 with 2 tine rows. Together with the
reconsolidation with a roller, three working procedures are accomplished in one field pass.
With its thorough and effective mode of action, the GK 400 M1 can be optimally integrated in your
overall management concept.
The goal of your concept will be to improve yields and to increase the valuable grasses.
Other effects of the GK 400 M1, like
Soil aeration
Regulation of the water balance
Incorporation of the seed
Reconsolidation
Pressing down the seed and therefore
Promoting tillering
make a significant contribution to the formation of good crops.
The success of weed control without chemicals and high yields, however, depend very strongly on
you, as you will be required to closely observe the processes in your soil.
Reseeding of grassland is theoretically possible during the entire frost- and snow-free period. Gaps
in the crops should already be reseeded in the spring to prevent weed competition. As a matter of
