4.10 PreTeC mulch seeding coulter
4.10.1 Seeding unit
The seeding unit is used on ploughed or mulched
soils. The seeding unit includes the grain singling unit,
the seed hopper and the seeding coulter. The seed
placement depth and the seeding coulter pressure
can be adjusted. The seeding coulter is guided over
the soil with the depth control wheel. The cutting
disks clear plant residues out of the seed furrow area.
Together with the furrow former, the cutting discs
shape the seed furrow. The singled seed grains are
caught by the catch roller and pressed into the bottom
of the furrow for good soil contact. The press rollers
close the seed furrow.
