  • Page 5: Brief Description

    Aquila units, Rabe now offers a new range of seed- drill machines designed to cover the needs of both conventional seeding and mulch sowing. The front of the Aquila is fi tted with a Field Bird two-row disc mulcher (5.1/1). The tyre-mounted packing roller (5.1/2) (Ø 780x264) running behind it covers the entire operating width of the machine.

  • Page 8: Safety Precautions

    Safety precautions Do not allow anyone to stand between the tractor and the imple- ment during coupling or uncoupling, even if this is to allow opera- tion of the external hydraulic controls. Danger of injury! Always set the tractor’s hydraulic control mechanism to “attitude control”...
  • Page 9: Towing

    1. Towing 1.1 Coupling the implement Couple the lower-arm floating axle (9.1/1). Cor- rectly secure the coupling assembly. Secure the tractor’s lower arm in the centre. Retract the support stands (9.1/2). 1.2 Brakes Connect the yellow brake line (9.2/2). Connect the red brake line (9.2/1).
  • Page 10: Parking The Implement

    3. Lowering the implement The implement can be parked in either its retracted (10.1) or extended position. We recommend putting the implement in its folded- out position (10.2) and lowering it completely before storing it for the winter. Parking in retracted position (10.2): Lower the running gear as far as possible.

    5. Use and adjustment 5.1 Previous soil tillage 5.1.1 Mulching-disc assembly The working depth of the disc coulters (11.1/1) is set by the tyre-mounted roller (11.1/2). Adapt the drill speed to the nature of the mulching operation. This also increases sowing perfor- 11.1 mance.
  • Page 12: Lane Marker

    5.3 Lane marker The disc lane markers can be centred up with respect to the tractor. Setting: move the extension arms into their operating positions. Adjust the disc contact point (12.1/1) correspondingly; (depending on working width and row distance of the drilling machine and the tractor- lane width during lane marking).
  • Page 13: Radar System

    5.4 Radar (13.1/1) The radar device supplies the control system with traverse-related data. Tracking detection is carried out without contact. The dosing system stops if the fan speed is too low (to prevent blockages). 5.5 Power supply (13.2) Operating power is taken directly from the tractor battery.
  • Page 14: Fan Speeds

    5.6 Fan speeds The corresponding blower speed should be selected to provide an appropriate stream of air for the operating width and seed type. Fan speeds Fan speed Operating width from 4m 2500 3500 The current fan speed is displayed at the computer terminal (14.1).

    6. Distributor head/tramline The dosed seed is evenly allocated by the distri- butor head, and fed to the coulters via the spiral hoses. Note that the hoses should slope downward towards the coulters Sagging hoses should be made to slope downwards and/or shortened accor- dingly.
