3.11.5 TRIAL SOWING
For precise sowing, we recommend performing a trial sowing with
the machine stationary to check the desired quantity to be sown by
proceeding. During the sowing test, pay attention to the points at
which there are parts in movement: stirrer shaft, dosing rollers, etc.
Perform the preliminary adjustments given in the adjustments table,
according to seed type, and in the following order:
- Gear lever position according to the quantity to be distributed
(from «0» to «55»).
- Feeler position (from «1» to «9»).
- Selection of distributor rollers (coarse or
fi
ne teeth).
- Opening of the sliding doors (pos. «0» - «1» - «2»).
- Type of distributor roller
Once the machine has been set, proceed as follows:
1) Lower the rack (C Fig. 34).
2) Release the seed-test trays (Fig. 35) and position them beneath
the seed discharge mouths.
3) Fill the seed hopper to mid-load.
4) Insert the crank (Fig. 36) on the gearbox shaft and rotate
clockwise.
5) Before starting the test, turn the handle a few times to load the
distributors with seed, then empty the seed collecting trays.
6) Turn the crank the number of turns given in the “GEARBOX
TURNS” table for the type of seeder and tires being used.
7) Weigh the seed collected in the trays and multiply the weight
by 100 or 40, depending on the number of rotations made.
The value obtained is the number of kilograms distributed per
hectare (Fig. 37).
IMPORTANT
Remember that when sowing large seed (peas, soy beans,
etc.), it is advisable to disconnect the seed agitator shaft from
the transmission (Fig. 38) to avoid damage to the seed itself.
