PHT FLEX
• When planting corn, work on speeds from 5 to 5.5 km/h.
• It is necessary to keep a constant speed during the whole plantation.
NOTE
Ideal working speed
Choose a gear that matches the ideal speed for every type of operation that needs
to be done with the tractor.
The PHT FLEX planter works with a higher efficiency from 5 to 7 Km/h.
Set-up instructions
Preparing for the plantation
The three-point lifting system must control the frame height related to the soil to
perform the job.
To do so, it is important that the lifting bars are locked.
For the tractor models that have an electronic hydraulic system, it is important that
the hydraulic part remains locked when lowered, meaning that the equipment is working.
Check the contact of the tires with the soil and lift or lower the frame to increase or
decrease the pressure on the wheelset springs.
Adjust the fertilizer depth through the spring pressure adjustment as shown on the
'Fertilizer depth' page ('Adjustments and operations' section).
Adjust the seed depth through the depth control adjustment as shown on the 'Seed
depth' and 'Floating range of the row unit' pages ('Adjustments and operations' section)
.
Adjust the gauge wheels as shown on the 'Gauge wheels adjustment' and 'Angular
position of the wheels' pages ('Adjustments and operations' section).
Check the space between the seed and fertilizer row unit being sure that they do not
touch each other during the job.
Adjust the equipment through the third-point extensor adjustment observing the
fertilizer hose. This adjustment allows to level the equipment as shown on the 'Planter
leveling' page ('Set-up instructions' section), so that the fertilizer drop on the hose is
improved.
After performing the adjustments on the crop conditions, lift the equipment observing
the fertilizer hoses as they must not get loose from the conductor. If necessary, open the
third-point extensor smoothly.
