Working speed
The working speed depends on the field condi
-
tions (soil type, crop residues etc.), seed, seed
quantity, coulters and other factors.
NOTE
¾
Operate somewhat slower under difficult
conditions.
Headland
¾
Lift out the machine and move the coulter
upward.
¾
Fold the bout marker.
¾
After turning lower the coulter approx. 2 - 5 m
in front of the seedbed with pressure at the
appropriate fan speed. The seed requires
some time to flow from the metering unit to
the coulters.
The working switch only releases the signal af-
ter the machine has been lowered completely.
¾
Unfold the bout marker.
By means of a shuttle valve the bout marker
is unfolded in each case automatically on the
other machine side.
NOTE
When drilling reduce the seed just before lifting
out the machine.
Otherwise the fan output would be excessively
reduced and the hoses might get blocked.
Checks
NOTE
¾
Check the placement quality when beginning
to work (after a few metres of drilling) and with
larger fields also in between on all coulters:
•
Drilling depth
•
Longitudinal distribution of the seed
•
Transverse distribution of the seed
The sowing quality essentially depends on the
adjustments and checks made prior to and
during drilling, as well as on regular care and
maintenance of the machine.
¾
Carry out all maintenance tasks and adjust-
ments before starting to work.
Machine
¾
Has the machine been hitched up correctly
and are the coupling devices locked?
¾
Have the tractor link arms being locked
against swinging sideways?
¾
Have the hydraulic lines been connected
without being mixed up by mistake?
¾
Have the bout markers been set to the cor-
rect length?
¾
Has the machine been levelled in working
position and the drilling depth correctly ad-
justed?
Cultivation tools
¾
Are all cultivation tools still in a serviceable
state?
- DiscSystem
- Packer
- Coulter
- Harrow
-
Optional equipment
¾
Are all cultivation tools adjusted correctly?
¾
Do the coulter discs still have sufficient preten
-
sion and turn easily?
