  • Page 77: Distributor Head

    Layout and function Distributor head The distributor head serves to distribute the metered material evenly over all of the coulters. For this purpose, the distributor head has indi- vidual segments. The metered material is evenly distributed over all of the segments in the distrib- utor head, and is carried to the coulters through the connected seed line tubes.
  • Page 78: Seed Tube Monitoring

    Layout and function 5.8.1 Seed tube monitoring The seed tube hoses represent the connection between the distributor head and the coulters. Each seed tube hose can be equipped with a sensor (Fig. 66/1) that detects the seed flow. A warning message is issued when the seed flow in a monitored seed line hose is interrupted or large deviations occur in the flow rate between the monitored seed line hoses.
