Seed feeding equipment and adjustments
Overview
KL seed drills use a groove feed on both the fertilizer and seed sides. The feeding
bodies are called feed rollers. Under the feed rollers, you can find adjustable bottom
flaps with springs, with closing covers on top of them, see Fig. 4. The feed chambers
are located at the bottom of the containers. In practice, this solution provides
independence in terms of sowing amounts, despite any tilting of the seed drill from side
to side, or the driving direction.
The feeding equipment is manufactured of corrosion-resistant materials. The bottom
flap adjustment lever under the feed rollers is in the center of the rear of the machine,
see Figs. 4 and 8. For sowing small seeds, the power transmission ratio can be
adjusted by changing the location of the pin from feeding shaft to intermediate shaft,
see Figs. 6 and 7.
Figure 4. Structure of seed feeding equipment
The feed amount can be changed by adjusting the feed rollers mounted on the feeding
shaft sideways in relation to the feed chambers, such that this changes the effective
width of the feed rollers. Adjustments are made on the left side of the machine with a
hand-wheel, see Fig. 5.
