The flowing drawing shows the gear ratio 27 to 16 when
seeding big amounts.
GRAIN AND FERTILISER BOX CAPACITIES
The Grain and Fertilizer box is fitted with seed cup, which
allows either grain or fertiliser in both compartments. The two
compartments of the box are equal in volume, both 1200 litres
(966kg Wheat or 1425kg Super).
Both compartments can be closed separately and sowing at a
different rate.
The first distributor is set to mix and bisect the outcomes from
both hoppers and send to each distributor heads.
Dual seeding kit is also available, in this way, the first
distributor separates each hopper, and one compartment
comes to one distributor head.
DISTRIBUTOR ROLLERS
The default roller is suitable for both grains and fertilisers in
different sizes. After testing, it is able to provide continues
calibration flow even with small seeds and at very low rate.
DDO & COULTER UNIT SPRING TENSION
Set DDO & Coulter unit spring tensions equally on each row.
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.
FERTILIZER CORROSION DAMAGE
The hopper must be "COMPLETELY AND THOROUGHLY
CLEANED OUT" after use, to help prevent corrosion. It is
especially important that the hopper is not left overnight with any
fertiliser remaining in it. Particular attention should be paid to
keeping the area around the critical distributor/bearing/gate
components free of fertiliser. It is necessary to disassemble the
seeding gate in the first distributor, as there will have remaining
fertilizer on the curved seed gate.
This recommendation is applicable irrespective of the kind of
fertiliser in use but is more important with the higher analysis,
high nitrogen, and fertilisers.
