Drilling Oilseed - Vaderstad Spirit StripDrill ST 600C Series Instructions Manual

1.10.2

Drilling oilseed

When drilling rapeseed and other oilseed, the rows must be 33.4 cm apart. Half of the seed coulters must
be closed.
When drilling oilseed, the spill prevention plates must be in place between the front and rear rows of the
StripDrill tines. These plates prevent soil and straw from getting into the seed furrow. This ensures the
rows stay clean and the conditions for the seeds are good.
Switching from drilling grain to drilling oilseed
When drilling oilseed, the machine must be moved 8 cm to the side in order for it to be centred.
1 Place the drawbar (A) in position. See "Figure 1.16".
2 Remove the spacer (B) from the front tool ( "Figure 1.21").
3 Slide the front tool over to the other end position.
