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.

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”...
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).
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.
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).
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.
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.
7.1 Tips for correct usage - Preparing the combined implement for work: 7. Checking of sowing accuracy on soil preparation tools, running gear, lane mar- drilling machines with elec. dosing kers, fan speed / hydraulic motor. wheel drive. - Check settings (as in turning test): Dosing- wheel setting (coarse-dosing wheel blocked Rule 1 when using fine seed), agitator shaft (agitator...
100 hours). A toothed pressure roller will remain in good condition if it is cleaned after each operation and pro- tected from corrosion. Park the Aquila machine in a dry, undercover location, with its coulters and lane discs clean and protected to prevent corrosion. Protect the electronic terminal box (with connection cables) from moisture and store in a dry 18.2...
(additional warning lights must be fitted if the implement protrudes by more than 400 mm outside the normal trailer lights). RABE can supply, as optional extras, the safety covers required for transport on public roads. RABE can also supply the TÜV certificate required for issue of an operating permit in certain jurisdictions.
