4 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The
FALCON
disc sowing machine is designed as semi-carried and folding. It is connected to the tractor using
a drawbar with pins of Cat III in the bottom arms of the tractor three-point suspension (TPS). In the front, there
is a preparatory section for soil processing and levelling larger unevenness followed by a pneumatic-tyred
ramming roller that levels and compacts soil in front of the sowing bodies. Then there is a leveller installed in the
axis of each sowing body. At the end there are sowing bodies with compacting wheels and a leveller. Some of
the tyres of the roller are also used for transport in the transport position. The seed container is equipped by a
sowing mechanism commonly used in the standard ACCORD pneumatic sowing machines. There is also possibility
to have Farmet Dispenser (Roller replacement system). The seeds are carried by air flow through seed tubes to
the sowing body where it is placed in the soil in rows. The soil is then compacted by the wheel and levelled out
with the leveller.
The seeding mechanism is driven by electric motors. The fan for the transport of seeds is driven
by hydraulic motor from the hydraulic circuit of the tractor. The machine is equipped with central markers and
markers of rail lines. The electronic system of the machine allows checking the functions of the machine,
regulation of the sowing batch and formation of rail lines. The transport wheels may be equipped with pneumatic
brakes or hydraulic brakes.
