Implement Flex
The implement on your drill is equipped with either full flex or limited flex. The difference between full flex and
limited flex is different planting width and different row spacing at the hinge.
Full flex
- allows more down travel at the pivot without crashing the openers, but pushes the openers apart at
the pivot which ends up with a wider planting width to have enough clearance.
Limited flex
- holds the row spacing steady and the planting width at a true 6.0 meters. The wings pivot
downward very little to prevent the openers from hitting each other.
Brake Operation
Know Your Tractor Systems
Applying tractor parking and/or emergency brakes may or may not
operate the drill service brake
system, depending on the design of the tractor systems.
The service, or trailer, brake system is controlled by the brake system on the tractor. The drill brake system
consists of main cart wheel brakes and a hand brake. There are brake shoe pairs on each of the main cart
wheels.
On drills with hydraulic brakes, the brakes are spring
-
released. Drill braking is released shortly after unhitching
the drill.
On drills with air brakes, the brakes are spring
-
released. The air brakes may not be applied when the air lines
are disconnected. If there is not enough air pressure in the air reservoir, the drill brakes will be released by
spring pressure. If there is enough air pressure in the air reservoir, the brakes will be applied.
See your tractor operator manual for details on when remote brake ports are engaged and released. Note any
difference of function in the table below. Make sure the tractor operator knows when drill brakes are engaged
and released.
