5.1.2. ADJUSTEMENT OF THE OIL FLOW WITHOUT A VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT PUMP
If the tractor does not have a variable displacement pump, there is a special kit for
this purpose which is supplied on demand.
5.2. DISTRIBUTION
The metering unit is the main element that makes the seed-
drill work. It is positioned under the seed hopper and
it is driven by the driving wheel through a mechanical chain
transmission and a universal joint.
The metering unit, which consists of a cylinder containing
longitudinal hollow sections A, distributes a certain quantity
of seed - depending on the calibration set using the control
B - to the “Venturi” –type ejector C.
The air flow generated by the fan blower D and regulated
by the butterfly throttle E transports the seeds to the
distributor head that can be found at the end of the
“Venturi” tube. From here, the seeds are taken to the
coulters and then sown. The metering unit can work with seeds of between 1 and 10 mm. The main seeds are:
•
Cereal: wheat, barley, oats, rye, triticale, sorghum, rice
•
Large seeds: corn, peas, beans, soya
•
Small seeds: grass, clover, rape
5.3. UNHITCHING THE FRONT HOPPER
The unhitching of the hopper from the tractor can be a very hazardous operation. Use estreme
caution while performing the entire operation and follow directions strictly.
To unhitch the seed-drill correctly, you must work on a horizontal surface as follows:
•
Lower to the ground the supporting stands and secure them firmly with the appropriate pins.
•
Disconnect all hydraulic and electric connectors supplying the seeder/fertilizer spreader
•
Remove the conveying corrugated hose from the connecting system
•
Unhitch the hopper from the tractor and make sure it remains in a stable position
5.4. UNHITCHING THE REAR IMPLEMENT
The unhitching of the disc or power harrow from the tractor can be a very hazardous operation. Use
estreme caution while performing the entire operation and follow directions strictly.
To unhitch disc or power harrow correctly, you must work on a horizontal surface as follows:
•
Lower to the ground the supporting stands and secure them firmly with the appropriate pins.
•
Disconnect all hydraulic and electric connectors supplying the seeder/fertilizer spreader
•
