  • Page 8: Coupling To The Tractor

    TEXDRIVE TEXDRIVE - DT 9.0 - COUPLING TO THE TRACTOR 9.1 - The machine must be coupled to the tractor on flat ground. 9.2 - Check that the three-point linkages are of a compatible category. 9.3 - Bring the tractor up to the machine, taking care not to get between the two at this stage, and proceed with coupling only when the tractor is stationary.
  • Page 9: Usable Plants

    TEXDRIVE TEXDRIVE - DT 11.0 - USABLE PLANTS This transplanter has been produced for transplanting seedlings of vegetables, flowers, tobacco, nursery plants etc., with conical or pyramidal peat rootball; for best results observe the dimensions shown in fig. 7. It is advisable to use seedlings with a very moist rootball so as to accelerate drop times from the distributor and facilitate the plant in taking root.
  • Page 10: Functions Of The Operator

    TEXDRIVE TEXDRIVE - DT 15.0 - FUNCTIONS OF THE OPERATOR Pick up the plants from the trays and place them in the distributor (fig. 9.A). Do not place plants with only a partial or no rootball in the distributor, as these will fall through.
  • Page 11: Phasing The Expeller

    TEXDRIVE TEXDRIVE - DT 18.0 - PHASING THE EXPELLER When the plant descending from the drop tube reaches the ploughshare (fig. 9.C.), the expeller (fig. 9.B) must be in the retracted position, and must only then begin its outward pushing stroke. If, for any reason, high or low speed transplanting is permitted, the correct expulsion phasing can be maintained by adjusting the rapid phasing device (fig.
  • Page 12: Distributor Half-Cup Opening

    TEXDRIVE TEXDRIVE - DT 21.0 - DISTRIBUTOR HALF-CUP OPENING According to the type of plant and speed of rotation, the plants descending from the distributor (fig. 14) may hit the mouth of the dropping tube (fig. 14.A) sideways on, resulting in a drop which is not straight.
