Operation
For shallower seeding, slide the T-handle toward the
drill (2).
For deeper seeding, slide the T-handle away from the
drill (3).
Small Seeds Tube Adjustment
On a drill with a small seeds box, rotate the seed
tube (1) to face forward for deeper seed placement.
This position can be used only if the seed
firmer is a seed flap. If a Seed-Lok
®
firming
wheel is installed, seed falls on the firmer
and may be scattered rather than placed
deeper.
Seed-Lok
®
Lock Up
The optional Seed-Lok
®
firming wheels provide
additional seed-to-soil contact. The wheels are
spring loaded and do not require adjusting. In some
wet and sticky conditions the wheels may
accumulate soil. To avoid these problems, you can
lock up the wheels.
To lock up:
1.
Pull the catch wire aside (1).
2. Pull the firming-wheel arm (2) up and release the
wire to catch the arm.
The illustration shows the opener disks
remove for clarity. This task can be done
with disks mounted. It is not necessary to
remove the opener disks.
Drill Weight Adjustment
In heavy no-till conditions, or if it is otherwise
necessary to increase coulter spring force, extra
frame weight may be required. Higher forces will lift
the drill off the ground, resulting in unreliable ground
drive operation.
Adding weight requires the optional weight kit and
standard suitcase tractor weights (kit does not
include weights).
The weight kit includes two brackets (1). Each
bracket holds up to five 45 kg weights.
