Operation
General Operation Guidelines
1 Use a sufficiently powerful tractor which is heavy enough to tow the drill safely.
2 Operate the drill at a speed of 6-12 km/hr (4-8 mph).
In stony and uneven ground conditions a lower speed is more appropriate
3 Check that the drill is level during calibration and while seeding.
4 Check tyre pressure before seeding. Refer page 5.
5 Double check seed rates before seeding.
6 Raise the drill out of the ground when making any turns.
7 Raise the drill out of the ground before backing up.
8 Stretched sagging hoses disrupt seed flow. Slight tension may be restored by
carefully shortening the affected hose; remove from the tube at ground level and cut
accordingly.
Care must be taken not to shorten too much as the tension will pull the hose from the
ground tube or damage the plastic metering funnel.
9 After prolonged storage, check to see that all drive mechanisms and hydraulic equipment
are functioning correctly. Check that the seed tubes are not perished or blocked.
Sowing Speed
Typical travel speeds when sowing range from 6-12 km/hr in good conditions. In stoney
and uneven ground conditions a lower speed is recommended to minimise rapid part
deterioration. Sowing too fast can result in:
1 Poor contour following and uneven sowing depth.
2 Impact damage to:
a Ground engaging components.
b Bearings, housings & axles.
c Fasteners & structural components.
3 More extreme conditions will result in greater vibration
and uneven seed flow at low seeding rates.
Sowing Depth Control
The sowing depth is dependent on:
1 The wheel height in relation to the chassis
2 Tyre pressure
3 Ground condition i.e. hard or soft
The wheel height in relation to the chassis is controlled
using the threaded depth adjustment collar (1) on the
non-drive wheel leg ram. The rams are phasing and
only require depth stops under the master cylinder.
Caution: Do not overextend the thread depth adjustment
collar. Additional collars may be required.
