05.19M142J3 SEEDING FLOW In the seed cup, seed and fertiliser metering rollers have adjustable gates at the metering point under the roller. This adjustment allows for the diversity in size of seed and types of fertiliser. To ensure accurate metering of material, it is essential that these gates be correctly adjusted in accordance.

GEARBOX SETTINGS The calibration is powered by the electric motor and controlled through John Shearer App on the tablet; therefore a proper setting is important for an accurate calibration. The quick switch gears can be set to allow the electric motor rate between low to high, and special sets of gears are available to meet lower volume needs.

DDOs on the front two rows are more likely to need tension. To avoid higher loads than necessary on the Tyne assembly components, use the minimum spring tension that will achieve the penetration required.

When the implement is RAISED, oil delivered from the tractor is directed to the piston end of the master cylinder (5), oil from the rod end flows to the piston end of the next cylinder (4), and oil from the rod end of (4) flows back to tractor.
