APPLICATIONS
TUME-drills are designed to sow all kinds of seeds: peas, beams, cereals, oil plants, grass and grass
mixtures.
The feeding chambers of the drills are equipped with locking plates which make it possible to close
some of the chambers, if necessary, e.g. when you want to double the row spacing. There are
several ways to regulate the sowing depth. The seed coulters can be adjusted to cover all kinds of
soils and plants.
The drills can be equipped with different kinds of seed coulters according to the circumstances.
Wing coulters are standard equipment in the drills because they are suitable for most circumstances.
In difficult circumstances in which the coulters get easily blocked 1-disc coulters are the most
suitable alternative. In good circumstances the use of wing coulters can result in yield increases of
several percents, especially with oats and wheat. The design of the seed coulter spring loading
ensures that coulter pressure doesn’t change too much subject to uneven soil.
By using the optional grass seed box you can sow companion crop and small seed simultaneously.
The grass seed box can also be used to spread some trace nutrients. There are different devices to be
attached behind the drill for secondary tillage. Press wheels e.g. can be used to roll the field in
connection with sowing.
An optional end tow kit has been designed to facilitate the transport of the CK-4000C drill. The kit
makes it easier to transport the machine on narrow farm roads and in busy traffic.

Mounting the markers
The CK-drills can be equipped with markers.

The arms are mounted to he shafts at the ends of the frame beam. A spring pint is fitted to the shaft
end. See figure. 1. The regulating arms of the markers are mounted to the holes in the arms and
