2.13 Setting the seed rate, mechanical feed output
Figure 2.29
! The seed boxe should be set according to the sowing table prior to filling the seed hopper.
Use the crank to set the desired value on the scale.
The scale setting can be reduced in intervals of 5-10 scale divisions even after the hopper has been
filled. Give the feed roller a few turns and continue to reduce the scale setting. When reducing the
scale setting to values under 20, the roller should be rotated continuously. The feed roller can be
engaged increasingly without any risk of the seed being crushed.
2.14 Seed box setting with hydraulic feed output
Figure 2.31
If the drill is fitted with hydraulic feed output, then the output amount is determined by the rota-
tional speed of the seed box and its setting. The seed box is set according to the sowing table col-
umns for hydraulic feed output.
