OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
17.1. Rear harrow
The rear harrow is best suitable for soil qualities that are susceptible to siltation and incrustration.
The tines of the rear harrow sort the soil so that the fine soil which gets filled with silt falls down
and the more durable clods stay on the surface. The rear harrow is equipped with a step.
17.2. Rotary crumbler
The rotary crumbler crumbles clods and levels the ground. We recommend it for fields where there
are difficulties to get the bed fine enough with a reasonable amount of cultivating. The rotary
crumbler does not compensate a roller or press wheels. The rotary crumbler is equipped with a
step.
17.3. Press wheels
TUME-seed drills can be equipped with broad rubber roller wheels which do not accumulate soil
and which can be used for a long time. If it is not necessary to roll the field by using conventional
methods, e.g. due to stones, the rolling can be carried out with rubber press wheels in connection
with sowing. Long- term studies have shown a yield increase of some percents with rolling on
spring grain, if the rolling is done immediately after sowing. The press wheels attached to drills give
at least as big yield increase as conventional rollers. The press wheels are equipped with a step
level.
17.4. Transport in longitudinal position
En end tow kit is available as optional equipment for CK-4000C model. We recommend the kit if
you must transport the machine on public roads or narrow farm road. The end tow kit often
facilitates the storage of the machine as well.
17.5. Control device
TUME-drills can be equipped with electronic control devices that give both sound and light signals
when the hopper is empty or when there are disturbances in the power transmission. The device
makes sowing faster and safer.
17.6. Tramlining kit
By means of the tramlining kit the lines intended for spraying and fertilizing can be left unsown in
connection with sowing. TUME-tramlining kit is electronically controlled. It has large range of
choices for tramline distances. The device stops the feeding rollers at the tractor tracks. Thus it
functions well with small seeds, as well. The feeding is cut out immediately. The tramlining kit has
also the electronic control function included (hopper, rotation).
17.7. Agitators
The seed hopper can be equipped with an agitator. The agitator can be necessary when e.g. sowing
arching pulverized products.
