3.13 Emptying the seed hopper
Figure 3.33
The hopper can be emptied by a single action. Remove the sliding hatch completely. If emptying
a bit at a time, slide the hatch up gradually.
Do not forget to replace the hatch after emptying.
3.14 Operation test
Figure 3.34
To check the actual output, a running test can be performed. This is recommended especially when
the seed drill is new or is used on a different surface to the previous one. When sowing in heavy
autumn soil, for instance, the drive wheels tend to slip more.
When carrying out measurement, drive a distance (L) of 33 m with the RD 300 F, 25 m with the
RD 400 F and 22 m with the RD 450 F.
NOTE!
The fan should be turned off. The measured seed quantity multiplied by 100 gives the do-
sage in kg/ha.
