    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 3.2 USE ACCORDING TO THE DESIGN The seed drill SD-1203 has been manufactured to be applied normally in farming work, especially for sowing cereals and other grain seeds. If damage is caused as a result of using the machine for other applications, the manufacturer shall not be held responsible.

  • Page 10: Loading And Unloading

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Never leave the driver’s seat while the machine is running. Do not place foreign elements in the hopper. Remove pressure from the circuit and stop the engine before working on the hydraulics. Under normal conditions, the tubes and hoses of the hydraulic circuits are subject to natural ageing.

    KEY CONCEPTS 4. KEY SOWING CONCEPTS 4.1 EARTH The better the condition, the higher the sowing quality. It is not possible to carry out good work on large clods of earth or highly uneven furrows. Although SOLÁ machines can resist strong forces in adverse circumstances, good quality sowing is not possible if the seedbed does not meet the stipulated conditions.
  • Page 12 KEY CONCEPTS Normal depth sowing: from Medium depth sowing: Very deep sowing: from 8 to 2 to 4 cm between 5 and 6 cm 10 cm Very thin stem. Zero tillering Thin stem, rhizome exposed Thick stem, short rhizome, and one single leaf. to ice.
  • Page 13 KEY CONCEPTS 4.4 CHEMICAL TREATMENTS Direct sowing involves the implicit concept of non-tillage, in which the prior treatment of all kinds of weeds is fundamental. Thus, it is fully advisable to seek thorough advice from specialists in chemical treatments on the product, frequency and intensity of the most suitable treatment to carry out quality sowing, guaranteeing –...

    COMMISSIONING 5. COMMISSIONING 5.1 ASSEMBLY AND COUPLING In order to assemble the drag train, firstly, the central supports must be fitted (A, Fig. 2) to the chassis, making sure not to tighten the bolts; secondly, the rear train must be fitted (B, Fig. 2) and, lastly, the tow bar (C, Fig.

  • Page 16: Dosing Mechanism

    COMMISSIONING 5.2 DOSING MECHANISM Sola's dosing mechanism can be set to two constant positions: - Narrow position with small teeth for small seeds (Fig. 3). - Wide position, with large alternated housings for regular and large seeds (Fig. 4 and 5).

  • Page 17: Controlling The Dosage

    COMMISSIONING 5.3 CONTROLLING THE DOSAGE Check that the dosing shut-off gates are open, therefore, enabling the seeds to flow. After checking that there are no foreign objects inside the hopper, connect the agitator shaft to the bushing of the variator. Set the dosing mechanism position lever into place: right, wide position for...

  • Page 18: Seed Prior Check

    COMMISSIONING 5.4 SEED PRIOR CHECK Once the dosing wheel positions, and the positions of the base flap and the variator lever are set, a seed dosage test must be carried out. FIRST: slide the nozzle-holder bar forward, releasing the latches that hold it in its working position, until it reaches the position in which to place the tray (Fig.) 10).
  • Page 19 COMMISSIONING THIRD: -Remove the pins from the connection sleeve of the hexagonal bar of the transmission and slide it towards the centre of the machine. (Fig. 12 and 13). -Disengage the assembly, fixing the sleeve in this position (Fig 14) -Place the crank inside the variator and turn it several times (Fig.

  • Page 20: Testing The Dosage

    COMMISSIONING Finally, remove the tray and accurately weigh the collected seeds. This weight, multiplied by 40, is the kilograms per hectare that the machine will dispense with the previously selected opening. In order to comfortably carry out these operations, it is advisable for the machine to be coupled to the tractor, in a partially raised position.

  • Page 21: Seed Dosage Setting

    COMMISSIONING 5.6 SEED DOSAGE SETTING In modern times, with the use of high-quality certified seeds, it is not enough to set the weight in kilograms to be dispensed by the machine, since the end result of the harvest will depend on the number of plants that fully ripen.
  • Page 22 COMMISSIONING A practical method is shown below for determining the kilos per hectare of seed to be sown based on the desired number of plants per square metre. 1) Insert the “grain counter” into the seeds. When taking it out, run your hand across the top so that only one grain remains in each cavity (100 grains in total).

  • Page 23: Combined Distribution

    COMMISSIONING 5.7 COMBINED DISTRIBUTION Combined dosing wheels are double-body units, with a stainless steel casing and mobile parts made from Delrin. The seed distribution roller is a “one-two” type and the fertiliser roller is the constant-flow-type fitted on a hexagonal axle, to allow it to be removed without using tools.

  • Page 24: Combined Dosage

    COMMISSIONING 5.9 COMBINED DOSAGE In the combined machine the seed dosage and control is exactly the same as in the seed drill. The fertiliser dosage is carried out with the variator placed to the left of the machine, setting the lever to the number previously selected in the table.

  • Page 25: Sowing Equipment

    COMMISSIONING 5.10 SOWING EQUIPMENT It is formed by a cast alloy boot that pours the seeds into a furrow opened by the disc coulter, at the depth controlled using a depth control wheel. The furrow is closed using a press wheel with adjustable pressure. The boot's height can be adjusted and it can be easily replaced, using a simple bolt.

    COMMISSIONING 5.12 ADJUSTING THE COMPRESSION SPRINGS Each adjustment must be carried out on the ground and with the machine empty. The compression springs are correctly calibrated in the factory. Consequently, in normal working conditions their setting should not be adjusted. It is only necessary to ballast the machine and adjust the spring setting in a few exceptional cases when the required depth...

  • Page 28: Adjusting The Press Wheel

    COMMISSIONING 5.14 ADJUSTING THE PRESS WHEEL The purpose of the press wheel, which uses the pressure applied using a special spring, is to close the furrow in which the seed has been planted. The action of the wheel may vary depending on various factors, which mainly include: Type of land (light or compact, humid or dry).
