 Seeding instructions
Before carrying out any maintenance on the
machine, disengage the power take-off,
switch off the tractor engine, remove ignition
key and wait until all moving parts have come
to a complete stop and apply park brake
In all cases, check that for any change in seed variety, seed drill equipment or setting, the
seeding precision still complies with the user's requirements. Check the precision over a
distance representative for each seeding unit prior to starting sowing on the field.
The seeding precision depends from several parameters, especially:
- The number of seeds/ha or the seeding density.
- The forward speed.
- The diameter and number of holes per disk or the metering unit adjustment.
- The implantation depth.
- The ground conditions (upward or downwards slopes, seedbed, ...).
- The seed type and variety.
- The turbine speed and vacuum in case of a pneumatic seed drill.
- The tyre inflation pressure.
The control must be made every time the hopper is reloaded or a least once per day.
Only work in straight lines. Lift the machine to turn.
