Setting and adjusting the spread rate
Purpose
The setting for the spread rate, which is spread by the seed drill during the seeding
process, has a significant effect on the seeding results.
Requirements
The following requirement must be fulfilled for this work step:
•
None
Procedure
This is how to set and adjust the spread rate:
Step
Description
1
Perform a calibration test to determine the current spread rate, see
Performing a calibration test
On page 30 for more information.
2
If necessary, take measures to adjust the spread rate.
Suitable measures are:
•
Selection of the seeding shaft, see
Selecting the right seeding shaft
On page 32 for more information.
•
Selection of the brush pressure, see
Setting the brush pressure
On
page 35 for more information.
•
Adjustment of the working width, see
Installing dispersion plates on
the soil tillage implement
On page 22 for more information.
•
Adjusting the tractor speed.
Calculating the spread rate
The spread rate can be calculated using the following formula:
SpR: spread rate in kg/min
m(wgt): desired spread rate in kg/ha
v(tractor): speed of the tractor in km/h
w(working): working width in m
