By using the optional grass seed box you can sow companion crop and small seed simultaneously.
The grass seed box can also be used to spread some trace nutrients. There are different devices to
be attached behind the drill for secondary tillage. Press wheels e.g. can be used to roll the field
while sowing. More details about the optional equipment in section 19.
4. TAKING THE DRILL INTO USE
4.1 Mounting the markers
The CK -drills can be equipped with markers. The arms are mounted to the shafts at the ends of the
frame beam. A spring pin is fitted to the shaft end (picture 1). The regulating arms of the markers
are mounted to the holes in the arms and locked with spring pins (picture 1). A damper spring is
mounted between the arm and the machine end. See picture 2 (used in some models). For further
information on function and regulation of markers see section 5.

4.2 Mounting to the tractor
When delivered the crossbar of the drill is mounted to the drawbar in its place. Because the crossbar
of the drill is attached with a quick coupling the simplest way to mount it is to fasten it first to the
lower links of the tractor and then connect it to the machine.
The crossbar is detached from the machine by lifting it slightly in the notches, by pulling the releasing
rope and by lowering the crossbar. The crossbar can be used in links of categories II and III.
Use
only ring pins of high quality to lock the crossbar to the links. After having fastened the crossbar to
the lower links of the tractor, reverse the tractor to the front of the drill so that the crossbar lies
precisely under the drawbar. When the crossbar is lifted it is locked to the drawbar (picture 3).
