Summary The SUMO Deep Tillage Seeder (DTS) drill is based on a concept known as ‘strip till drilling’, a method of only loosening and preparing a band of soil where the seed is to be placed and leaving the soil in between undisturbed, and therefore not working ground unnecessarily.
(accident prevention). SUMO shall not be responsible for any damage caused by the use of spare parts, accessories and ancillary equipment not supplied and/or approved by SUMO.
Take extreme care when hitching up or unhitching machine to/from the tractor. Never allow persons to stand between the tractor and the SUMO machine unless the tractor is secured against rolling away by means of parking brake and/or wheel chocks.

1.5 Operator Check List It is the owner / drill operator’s responsibility to set up the drill for: 1. Sowing depth according to conditions in each soil type and pre worked condition 2. Tramline bout number to suit tramlines 3. Tramline track width 4.
1.6 Warranty In this warranty Sumo UK Ltd. is referred to as the Company. 1. Subject to the provisions of this warranty the Company Warrants each new machine sold by it to be sold free from any defect in material or workmanship.

Main functions The Artemis is designed to allow automatic, variable rate control of any drill. You can at any time, also manually override the predetermined rate as field conditions require. The basic functions are: Variable Rate Control Tramline Control ...
Control Modes and Data Logging Automatic Control Mode The application rate is automatically regulated as forward speed varies, to ensure that the actual application rate constantly matches a preset target rate. The application rate can be manually nudged up and down from the target rate as required. Field data ("job summaries") can be logged and are stored in the instrument memory.
2. RDS Control Unit Operation Status Indicators All the operating screens have a status bar at the top of screen displaying the time as well as a number of different icons. These icons indicate the following: Data Card DGPS Signal Area cutout Inserted No signal...
Figure 3: MAIN screen (dual product / single metering) MAIN_SEED_FERT.PCX Display as figure 2 except as shown Figure 4: MAIN screen (single product / dual metering) MAIN_LEFT_RIGHT.PCX Display as figure 2 except as shown 2.2.1 Forward speed display and alarm functions Display smoothing Except for sudden changes in speed, the forward speed displayed at any moment will be the average speed calculated over 3 seconds.
Maximum speed reminder When setting a new target rate on the RATE screen, the instrument re-calculates and displays the maximum forward speed at which that rate can be maintained (fig.5). It is calculated from the rate set, drill working width, current calibration factor, gearbox ratio and maximum motor speed. Figure 5 UK566-06.PCX Simply...
‘RATE’ screen This screen allows the drilling rate to be adjusted. Either kg/ha or seeds/m units can be set via the SETUP menu. Figure 6: RATE screen - single product Current drilling Maximum forward rate speed at which the current drilling rate can Target rate be maintained...

The target no. of bouts can be selected up to 10, with, symmetrical, asymmetrical left or asymmetrical right rhythm selectable. Symmetrical Asymmetrical left Asymmetrical right The instrument displays the drill/sprayer width combination for the selected target no. of bouts. Beyond 10 bouts, a number of special asymmetric rhythms can be selected to suit the following drill/sprayer width combinations. ‘8-pass’...
Metering motor – manual override/half-width drilling Simply press the desired key(s). The metering motor(s) can be stopped manually as desired, eg: An area of field needs further cultivation before seeding. In the case of a front-mounted hopper, the metering motor is switched off just before the end of the bout to clear the seed through (the opposite of the ‘pre-start function).
Page 26
Weigh the contents of the container, and then enter the ACTUAL weight dispensed (fig. 14) and press ENTER to confirm. Figure 12 Figure 13 Figure 14 NOTE: The heading will be either SEED / FERT / LEFT / RIGHT according to steps 2a , 2b. Press ENTER again for the instrument to re-calculate and display the new calibration factor in kg/rev, the error %, and the maximum forward speed that is permissible based on the application rate set for the product (fig.15).
2.7.2 ‘CALIBRATION NUDGE’ - Adjusting the calibration factor The ‘calibration nudge’ procedure enables you to adjust the existing calibration factor without having to redo a bucket test. First note down the PART TOTAL for the product displayed in the INFO screen. This is the theoretical quantity that the instrument has calculated.
Speed simulation If the radar speed sensor stops working, you can continue drilling by simulating a forward speed signal. Remember though that your actual forward speed should match the simulated speed as close as possible, otherwise the drilling rate will not be correct. Drive faster than the simulated speed and you will under-apply, and vice-versa. To set the simulated forward speed, from the SETUP screen, select ‘1 User Setup’...
2.11 Speed auto call routine, 1, Press red button 2, Press “1” user setup 3, Press “2” speed sensor factor 4, Go down to option 2 and press enter. N.B. At this point, you can manually edit option 1, the SSF as displayed. 5, When you are ready, with the machine in work, in a field, press enter to start.
2.12 Half width shut off As fitted to 6m and above drills A deflector is moved to the left or right using an electronic actuator controlled from the cab instrument as shown bellow. When half the drill is switched off the motor speed is halved at the same time Seed is deflected to just one distribution head enabling the half width function.
Page 31
2.12.1 HWSO Operation When half width is enabled the MAIN screen is as follows: With the left turned off it changes to: with the reminder Motor speed is reduced by 50%. With the right turned off it changes to: with the reminder Motor speed is reduced by 50%.
Page 32
Depending upon settings the actuator should not take longer than 5 seconds to achieve its target position. This alarm screen is shown after 10 so therefore should normally never be seen. If it is it could be a problem with the actuator or the wiring. To continue drilling ½ width position will need to be found manually (by removing and disconnecting the actuator wiring) and the half width function will need to be turned off.

3m tramline system The Sumo DTS is unique in that the drill does not have any tramline markers as such, the coulters that are blocked off are lifted. This system works by the way of a 3 way solenoid diverter, and the hydraulic feed form the bout markers.
