NOTE
Ø
Check the seed placement whenever changing the depth setting.
Ø If the seed placement is adjusted deeper, you must check the coulter pres-
sure. If necessary, you must increase the coulter pressure in order to assure
the drilling depth.
The depth guide wheels must be pressed to the ground with sufficient pres-
sure, and the wheels must always turn.
However, the pressure should not be higher than necessary.
Ø
If increased wear occurs on the drill units behind the tractor tracks, a greater
drilling depth may need to be set on these drill units.
Regularly check wear and drilling depth on the drill units behind the tractor
tracks.
NOTE
We recommend deactivating the AutoForce auxiliary equipment from position 12
since regulating errors may otherwise occur in the system. See information decal on
the drill unit:
8.1.3 Trap rollers
Once the grain exits the Barrel, it is immediately picked up by the trap roller and
pushed gently into the ground.
The grain can now no longer jump out of position. Damage to the trap roller should
therefore always be avoided.
