Structure and function 5.7.3 Calibrating the seed rate When calibrating the seed rate, the later field pass is simulated. The metering roller speed required to spread the desired seed rate [kg/ha] is determined. The metering roller speed is calculated from the simulated area (e.g. 1/40 ha) and the weight [kg] of the collected metered material.
Structure and function The calibration is started by actuation of the control terminal in the tractor cab or of the TwinTerminal (Fig. 42) or of the mobile device with the mySeeder app. The buttons of the TwinTerminal and the mobile device must be pressed and held during calibra- tion.
Structure and function The fan (Fig. 45/1) generates the air current that carries the seed to the coulters. The hydraulic motor (Fig. 45/2) drives the blower fan. The control terminal displays the current fan speed and issues an alarm if there is a deviation from the nominal speed.
Page 67
Structure and function Fig. 49 The blower fan speed determines the air volume of the air current. The higher the blower fan speed, the greater is the air volume generated. The required blower fan speed (Fig. 49/1) depends on the seed ...
Structure and function Distributor head In the distributor head, the seed is distributed uniformly over all coulters. For this purpose, the distributor head has indi- vidual segments. The metered material is evenly distributed over all of the segments in the distrib- utor head, and is carried to the coulters through the connected seed line tubes.
Structure and function 5.9.1 Seed tube monitoring The seed tube hoses represent the connection between the distributor head and the coulters. Each seed tube hose can be equipped with a sensor (Fig. 52/1) that detects the seed flow. A warning message is issued when the seed flow in a monitored seed line hose is interrupted or large deviations occur in the flow rate between the monitored seed line hoses.
Structure and function 5.10 WS drag coulter WS drag coulters Use your seed drill with plough drilling. A guide funnel (Fig. 54/1) delivers the seed immediately behind the share tip (Fig. 54/2). A precise and uniform placement depth is achieved. The hinged coulter support (Fig.
Structure and function 5.11 RoTeC Control coulter The RoTeC Control coulter (Fig. 57/1) is used for seed placement on ploughed or mulched soil, even with large quantities of straw and plant residues. Thanks to the support of the coulter on the depth control disc / wheel (Fig.
Page 72
Structure and function To adjust the seed placement depth, the depth control disc/wheel can be engaged in 3 holes on the coulter removed if the seed placement depth is not reached. Hole Placement Shallow Seeding without depth control disc / Deep depth control wheel Fig.
Structure and function 5.12 Coulter pressure, coulter lift and harrow lift All coulter types Adaptation of the coulter pressure to the soil is required to achieve uniform seed placement depth on different soils. The coulter pressure is adjusted centrally by means of a crank handle or hydraulically. The hydraulically actuated coulter pressure adjustment allows the coulter pressure to be adapted to the soil during operation.
Structure and function 5.12.2 Coulter pressure - Hydraulic adjustment With the hydraulic coulter pressure adjustment, the coulter pressure is preset. Two pins (Fig. 63/1) serve as stop for the hy- draulic cylinder. As a result, the coulter pressure can be adapted to the soil during operation, e.g. when changing to heavy soil and vice versa.
Structure and function 5.12.3 Coulter and harrow lift - Soil tillage without seeding For soil tillage without seeding, the coulters can be lifted together with the harrow. The tractor control valve (green) is used to lift and lower the coulters and harrows. Fig.
Structure and function 5.13.1 Exact following harrow tine position Exact following harrow tine position Distance "A" = 230 to 280 mm When correctly set, the harrow tines of the exact following harrow should: lie horizontally on the ground and ...
Structure and function 5.13.2 Exact following harrow pressure The exact following harrow pressure determines the tillage intensity of the exact following harrow and depends on the soil texture. To achieve uniform coverage of the seed row with soil, the exact following harrow pressure must be set higher on heavy soil than on light soil.
Structure and function 5.14 Roller harrow The roller harrow consists of harrow tines (Fig. 72/1), press rollers (Fig. 72/2). The harrow tines close the seed furrows. The press rollers press the seeds into the fur- rows. Better soil contact means more humidity is available for germination.
Structure and function 5.15 Seeding variations, adjustable on the control terminal 5.15.1 Adapting the seed rate to the acceleration of the tractor After turning at the end of the field, seed is metered into the delivery line as soon as the implement is lowered into working position.
Structure and function 5.16 Tramlines Tramlines can be created on the field. Tramlines are seed-free tracks for fertilising and plant care implement used later. The tramline can also be created as an interval tramline. In doing so, the tramline is seeded in recurring freely selectable intervals.
Page 81
Structure and function Fig. 77 With tramline control, tramlines (A) can be created on the field. When creating a tramline, a display appears on the control terminal. The adjustable tramline spacing (b) corresponds to the working width of the cultivating implement (B), e.g.
Structure and function 5.16.1 Tramline rhythm, tabular determination Read the required tramline rhythm from the table. The tramline rhythm is derived from the required tramline spacing and the working width of the seed drill. Other tramline rhythms can be found in the control terminal.
