Calibration test
With the calibration test the coincidence of the pre-set and the actual
seed rate is checked.
Always carry out a calibration test
•
when changing the seed type
•
in cases with the same seed type, however, with different grain
shape, grain size, bulk density and or different dressing
•
after having changed the metering wheels
•
in cases of a deviation between the seed rate determined by
AMATRON 3 and the quantity of seed applied in the field.
Caution!
Before commencing the calibration test
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Stop tractor engine.
3. Remove ignition key.
The maximum application rate depends on the seed, from the dress-
ing agent properties and the forward speed.
