7. MACHINE SETTINGS
The Overseeder 3D has several options for setting the machine optimally.
7.1 Adjusting the working depth
The working depth can be adjusted by turning the top rod.
If the top rod is turned, causing it to be shortened, the machine will rotate forward and the result is that
the sowing depth is set deeper.
This works if the ground that should be treated is sufficiently soft to be cut.
If the ground is too hard, the machine can also be constructed more heavily by additional weight sets
(see Section 12.1) and/or by filling the rear roller with water to obtain the correct sowing depth.
If the rear roller is filled with water, remove it before it starts to freeze!
7.2 Setting the seed-element valves
The machine is suitable for sowing different types of seeds. Furthermore, the seeder can also be used
in combination with various tractors and you can sow at different speeds. To adjust the machine to the
various factors, the machine’s sowing installation must be adjusted. The seed elements have a
number of functions (see
Figure 4b ):
1. If the seed-element valve is closed, no seeds can flow out of the hopper when the
machine is idle (e.g., during transport).
2. To empty the hopper after sowing, the valve (a sowing element) can be opened so
that the seeds can run out of the hopper.
3. The seed-element valve can be adjusted according to the size of the seeds that will be
sown. In case of fine grass seed, the element valve must be closed completely. Then
the gear wheel grabs the seeds. In the case of larger seeds, the space between the
gear wheel and the valve is not large enough to let the seeds pass. Therefore, the
valve needs to be opened more for larger seeds. Adjusting the size of the opening can
be done using the valve adjustment handle. The handle can be adjusted by loosening
the stellar knob (
1 ), selecting the required position by means of the indication sticker
( 2 ), and retightening the stellar knob (see Figure 4a ).

7.3 Setting the quantity of seeds using the gearbox
By affecting the setting of the seed elements, the delivery of seeds can be set to additional or fewer
seeds. Each seed element contains a rotor that transports the seeds. By affecting the speed of the
rotors, the quantity of seeds can be adjusted. The gearbox can continuously variable adjust the speed.
Do the following to adjust the quantity of the seeds:
