3.19 PREPARATION
In all the models the seeding elements are connected
independently to the frame by means of hinged parallelogram
mechanisms, though with some particular features depending
on the type of seed to be distributed and the characteristics of the
ground being worked on.
a) seeding elements for deep seed planting
two different types of element are available for the medium depth
equipment in relation to the roughness of the seed planting bed:
-
for finely prepared ground it is advisable to use cutter/planter
shoes with sod breaker and press wheels (fig. 47);
- for rougher ground and where there are residues, it is more
advisable to use double disc tools placed upstream of the
cutter/planter shoes followed by press wheels (fig. 48);
For different soils, 3 different types of seed covering element are
available (fig. 49):
1)
farmflex wheel (Ø=370 mm) recommended for damp and
sandy soils;
2) rubber "V" wheels more suitable for damp and "difficult" soils.
3) iron "V" wheels suitable for dry, medium grade soils;
b) seeding elements for surface seed planting
The seeding element for surface seed planting has a standard
equalizer with rubber wheels: the one at the front is a "sod crusher"
with a rounded shape (having Ø=280 mm), followed by the seed
pressing wheel, also in rubber, with independent seed coverers
(fig. 50).
For different soils, 3 different types of seed covering element are
available (fig. 51):
1)
concave rubber wheel (Ø=290 mm) specifically for beet;
2) rubber "V" wheels suitable for damp and difficult soils;
3) farmflex wheel (Ø=370 mm) suitable for damp and sandy
soils.
