  • Page 18 The required power for drag, in normal circumstances, may be inferior as mentioned, but it is required that the tractors can control the planter in complicated circumstances, such as: uneven surfaces, humid soils, and transportation in roads, etc. It is necessary to have enough hydraulic power and liquid flow. The minimum recommended pressure is of 130 kg/cm2.

  • Page 19: Hook Up Of The Planter For Work

    Transportation hitch bar settings: by a butterfly nut A this does not In an elevated position, the hitch bar is kept in its place allow it falling during work (figure 5). Work hitch bar settings: While at work, pins A and B keep it in position, (figure 6). For transportation, pin A is released, that will remain later in the support, and making the hitch bar pivot on pin B in set against the frame and assured with pin C.
  • Page 20 Hook up of the planter with the tractor. For transport purposes. Extreme caution when driving with the planter hooked up, especially in roads, and public spaces. The planter you have acquired, has a hitch bar designed for towing purposes through roads or routes.

  • Page 21: Transportation

    Make sure that the planter will not move during this operation, when releasing the work hitch bar. Chock the wheels, lock them, and perform this in a leveled, plain terrain, NEVER IN UNEVEN SURFACES. 5. Couple the tractor to the transportation hitch bar. To do so you must release the butterfly nut A in figure 5, this allows to lower the bar for its hook up.
  • Page 22 Hooking up the planter to the tractor. To work. In the same way we have indicated previously, we will start from the transport position and change to the working position, with the tractor still hooked up to the transportation hitch bar, and the planter in an elevated position.
  • Page 23 8. Check if the pressure of the turning brakes of the left wheels is correct. (Figure 13) this allows to move normally during work. Loosening the A square head set screw, shown in figure 12, you will ease turning of the wheels, adjusting it the turning friction will increase making it harder to turn.

  • Page 24: Planter Settings

    Planter settings. Adjustment of the position of the markers. The markers are positioned in factory according to the number of lines and separation between them and according to the model of the planter. In this way both markers, left and right will indicate the center line of the tractor´s next swath.
  • Page 25 To vary the intensity of the mark, loosen the bolts (B-Figure 11) and register the angle of attack of the disc. In a well prepared soil, a soft mark will be clearly visible; while in no-till seeding will require a more visible marking set up.
  • Page 26 If you will perform maintenance or registration tasks under the planter: Place all locks in the elevation cylinders and set correctly the frame support stands. The working pressure of the blade is obtained from a compression spring, this one can be adjusted with the nut E in figure 16.

  • Page 27: Planting Unit

    Do not force the limits of the compression spring; therefore damage could be done to the unit.  Position of the fertilizer tube: with the two bolts: E the position of the tube is adjusted, tightening one and loosening the other and vice versa, move the tube until it almost touches the surfsce of the disk, this is the correct way to deposit the fertilizer.
  • Page 28 Figure 19 Figure 20 To move from one point from the other, with the planter in a lifted position, it is only necessary to turn the spring extension axis tensor (B) with a wrench over its dented surface (C) this must be done one step at a time. Planting unit´s parallelograms The units are held by a system of floating parallelograms (Figure 20) these count with a adjustable stop point (D).
  • Page 29 Pressure of the seed pressing wheel The seed pressing wheels are made of semi-pneumatic rubber 1” x 8” and are located immediately behind the point where seed is dropped. It´s function is to press the seed accurately in the soil, and guarantee proper soil-to-seed contact, thus favoring seed emergence.
  • Page 30 Angle of work Seven angles of work are possible, that are selected by moving the lever (B-Figure 23) moving the lever backwards into either one of the four positions, according to the need. Neutral Position: position zero. It compacts the seeding line, creating a small ridge. Positive positions: points, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5.

  • Page 31: Variable Distance Between Lines/Furrows

    VARIABLE IN-ROW SPACING. The W630 Super Walter Planters are designed to plant at variable in-row spacing, from 70 to 52,5 centimeters. There are also models that can be set up in a separation of 100cm in the case of cotton seeding.
  • Page 32 Model: 10 rows at 70 cm of separation (B) or 12 rows at 52,5cm of separation (A) To change from 12 rows at 52,5cm to 10 rows at 70cm, you must remove two complete planting units marked with an X and move the ones marked with an O (figure 29).
  • Page 33 In addition to the information given in figures 27, 29, and 30, keep in mind that all the measurements and distances start from the center of the planter and measured outwards. The planting units that should be removed could be anyone, but we have chosen those marked with an X because these would be the ones that would need to be moved more.
  • Page 34 Modify the position of the fertilizer discs and the no-till coulter blades, according to the new units configuration. The discs and the coulter blades, corresponding to the eliminated planting units, must be removed from the planter, the sane should occur to the fertilizer hoses. The remaining fertilizer outlet must be closed with lids or caps shown as A in figure 33, there is no need to remove the feed cups.

  • Page 35: Seeding/Planting Seed Distribution
