The Advantages of Overseeding
(*
By reversing the direction of rotation of the seed shaft, each sowing
roller cam – with its specially shaped cups (
19/1
) – picks up a seed,
transports it through a cover (
20/1
), and then releases it for „free fall“
into the seed drill coulters.
Individual seed dosage enhances growing space distribution and
plant development and leads to greater yields while also saving on
seed stock.
The Vitasem overseed system is only suited for round, regular seed
of approx.
1.8 - 2.8 mm Ø
– especially for rape seed and kale-like
seed:
... the seed must be free of any loose dressing rub-off and its
surface may not be sticky (brush off any seed dressing residue
in the cups).
Seed containing additives such as additional dressing and slug
pellets is
not
suitable for overseeding.
... to achieve even seed distribution, we recommend to never drive
faster than
6 km/hr
.
Strong vibrations, caused by stones and large clods of earth for
example, will affect the quality of distribution.
... the angle of inclination should not exceed
15%
.
For conditions other than those described above,
we recommend „Undersowing with reducer“. This
also applies for hybrid rape types with irregular seed
sizes.
Setting Seed Rates
Use the seeding chart to determine the correct seed rate and make
appropriate settings.
The sowing shaft direction changer and covers incl. locks are included
in the additional „overseed“ accessory.
Control devices:
a) Transmission setting (direction of rotation of the seed shaft)
b) Shutters
c) Gate
d) Fine seed reducer
e) Covers
f ) Agitator
Lever position on gearing (gear position)
Select sowing shaft r.p.m. by adjusting lever
Adjusting range:
0 – 100 continuous
0 = Sowing shaft standstill
Value reading = on front edge of adjusting lever (towards 100)
Set adjusting lever with star grip (21/1)
