6.2.3 FOLDING PART ANGLE STOPS
There are adjustable stops at the point where the folding
parts rest on the chassis that can be used to change the drop
angle (Fig. 6.13).
Fig. 6.13
These angle stops must be used if it is wished to change the
folding parts' drop angle. To do this, follow the steps below:
1-
The machine must be in the transport position; if not, fold
the coulter unit's folding parts.
2-
Remove the bolts and nuts (Fig. 6.14).
2-

Fig. 6.14
IN NORMAL SOWING CONDITIONS, IT IS ADVIS-
ABLE TO HAVE THE FOLDING PARTS ANGLED
SLIGHTLY DOWNWARDS TO ADAPT BETTER TO
UNEVEN TERRAIN.
IN VERY TILLED OR LOOSE SOILS OR IN VERY
DAMP SOIL, THE FOLDING PARTS SHOULD BE
LEVELLED SO THAT THEY ARE HORIZONTAL.
6.2.4 COULTERS
The seed drill is fitted with coulters for opening furrows in
which the seeds or fertilizer will be placed. Several coulter
models are available for different soil conditions:
-
SM MODEL:
for sowing on fields with no tillage (direct
sowing) or minimum tillage.
-
NS-PLUS MODEL (STRAIGHT COULTERS):
for sowing on
prepared land.
-
NS-PLUS MODEL (SUFFOLK COULTERS):
for sowing on
well-prepared land with no stones.
VERY IMPORTANT:
ANY CHANGES TO THE
COULTER PRESSURE MUST BE MADE WITH THE
COULTER UNIT RAISED AND THE COULTERS OFF
THE GROUND.
