2.19 Operation test

Figure 2.50

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 25 m with the RDA 400 S and 22 m with
the RDA 450 S.

NOTE!

The fan should be turned off. The measured seed quantity multiplied by 100 gives the dos-

age in kg/ha.
