The leading tine is adjusted by simply removing the pin, sliding the tine to the required depth position hole
and reinserting the pin.
The top hole should not be used on brand new tines; it is only to be used once the tine has
begun to wear. Do not operate the front tine deeper than 150mm.
ADJUSTING THE LEADING TINE
Once the seed depth is set you can set the depth of the leading tine, as a guide the front tine should be set
to approximately:
• 120 - 150mm deep for Oilseed
rape
• 100mm for Cereals
• 125mm for autumn Beans and
Maize
• 75-100mm for Spring Beans
SETTING THE START STOP
The start stop finger switch should be set so that when the
drill is lifted out of work the switch is in the off position. To
achieve this the finger switch bracket should be adjusted so
that when out of work the seeding bar on the screen should
display the red crosses as shown below.
When in work the finger switch should be set 10 - 15mm
below the top link and should show the green seeds should be
shown in the seeding bar on the screen.
