Layout and function 5.11 Seed hopper and loading board The cover (Fig. 49/1) protects the contents of the seed hopper from water and dust. The seed hopper is filled from the loading board, on the back of the seed drill. The hopper extension enlarges the volume of the seed hopper, see section "Technical data", Seite 55.
Layout and function 5.11.1 Fill level monitoring A low level sensor (Fig. 51/1) monitors the seed level in the seed hopper. If the seed level reaches the low level sensor, an acoustic signal is emitted. At the same time, the control terminal displays a warning message.
Layout and function 5.12 Seeding shaft drive The seed is metered by the metering wheels in the seed housings. The metering wheels are attached to the seeding shaft. The seeding shaft is driven either by a star wheel or by an electric motor. 5.12.1 Seeding shaft drive of one star wheel The star wheel (Fig.

Layout and function 5.14 Seed rate calibration When calibrating the seed rate, the later field pass is simulated. The seed metered in the process is collected and weighed. The required seeding shaft speed is calculated from the simulated area (e.g. 1/40 ha) and the weight of the collected seed.
Page 80
Layout and function During calibration, the seed is collected in a bucket (Fig. 69/1) under the seed housings. Fig. 69 The collapsible bucket (Fig. 70/1) is used to transfer the collected seed. The folding bracket (Fig. 70/3) beside the steps is used to hang up the digital scale (Fig.
Page 81
Layout and function The adjustable flaps guide the metered seed into the collection buckets. The flaps are actuated with a lever (Fig. 71/1) in the control centre. Depending on the requirement (see below), allow the lever to latch into the top or bottom elongated slot.
Layout and function 5.14.1 Calibration - Implements with star wheel drive When calibrating the seed rate, the later field pass is simulated by rotating the seeding shaft. The seeding shaft is rotated with the central key (Fig. 74) in the control centre. The seed metered in the process is collected and weighed.
Page 83
Layout and function If star wheel gearbox 2 is equipped with bevel gears (Z=18/18), see the table (Fig. 76) for the number of crank turns for calibrating the seed rate. Fig. 76 Standardised calibration value The crank turns listed in the tables (Fig. 77 and Fig. 78) were determined during a calibration run on a standardized field with the AmaLog+ control terminal.

Layout and function 5.16 TwinTeC double disc coulter The TwinTeC double disc coulter (Fig. 86/1) is used for plough seeding and mulch seeding. Harvest residues are cut by the large double disc coulters, clearing the plant residues evenly to the side and forming a clean seed furrow.
Page 89
Layout and function The seed placement depth depends on the factors Soil type (light to heavy) Forward speed Set seed placement depth Set coulter pressure. The placement depth and the coulter pressure can be adjusted independently from one another. The coulter pressure can reach 60 kg per coulter.
Layout and function 5.16.1 Seed placement depth (TwinTeC) Implements with TwinTeC double disc coulters The seed placement depth is adjusted with the central spanner. Fig. 88 Turn clockwise (+): deeper placement Turn counter- clockwise (-): shallower placement The scale (Fig. 89/1) displays the set working depth in percent.
Layout and function 5.17 Coulter pressure, seed rate increase and coulter lift (all coulter types) To achieve uniform seed placement depth, the coulter pressure must be set higher on heavy soils than on light soils. 5.17.1 Coulter pressure / coulter lift (manually actuated) Implements with ...
Layout and function 5.17.2 Coulter pressure, seed rate increase and coulter lift (hydraulically actuated) Adaptation of the coulter pressure to the soil is required to achieve uniform seed placement depth on different soils. The hydraulically actuated coulter pressure adjustment allows the coulter pressure to be adapted to the soil during operation, when changing to heavy soil.
Layout and function 5.17.2.2 Activating the seed rate increase Implements with RoTeC Control coulters and TwinTeC double disc coulters The seed rate can be increased on heavy soils for a uniform crop. The control terminal serves to enter the desired rate increase.
Layout and function 5.17.2.3 Coulter lift (hydraulically actuated) Implements with RoTeC Control coulters and TwinTeC double disc coulters For soil tillage without seeding, the coulters can be lifted out of the soil. Fig. 95 The tractor control valve (green) is used to actuate the coulter lift.

Layout and function 5.18.2 Exact following harrow pressure The exact following harrow pressure must be adjusted depending on the soil. 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.
Layout and function 5.18.3 Seeding without exact following harrow (exact following harrow lift) The exact following harrow can be lifted independently of the position of the coulters. A hydraulic cylinder (Fig. 106/1) lifts the exact following harrow. Depending on the implement equipment, actuation of the exact following harrow lift with a tractor control unit is possible in 2 variations.
Layout and function 5.19 Roller harrow This option is only possible in combination with RoTeC Control coulters. The roller harrow consists of harrow tines (Fig. 107/1) press rollers (Fig. 107/2). The harrow tines close the seed furrows. The press rollers press the seeds into the furrows.
Page 101
Layout and function The central spanner (Fig. 109) is used to adjust the roller contact pressure. The carrying arms of the roller harrow are spring suspended on a rotating tube. As a result, the rollers can follow the contours of the ground.
Layout and function 5.20 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.

Layout and function 5.21 One-sided switching Fig. 120 During the first field pass, it may be necessary to operate the seed drill with half the working width (part-width section). The coulters of the left half of the implement (see Fig. 120) do not deposit any seed in the soil if field operation starts at the right edge of the field and the seeding shaft is driven by the right side of the implement.
Layout and function 5.21.2 One-sided switching – seeding shaft drive on both sides Implements with two electric motors If the implement has 2 electric motors, one electric motor (Fig. 122/1) drives one half of the seeding shaft. When working with half the working width, one electric motor is switched off.
Layout and function 5.22 Tramline marker The tramline marker has two track discs, which lower automatically when the tramlines are created. The track discs mark the tramline that has just been created. This makes the tramlines visible before the seed has germinated. The track discs are raised if no tramline is created.
Layout and function 5.23 Track marker The hydraulically-actuated track markers dig into the ground alternately on the left and the right of the implement. In doing so, the active track marker (Fig. 126/1) creates a track on the field. When the track markers are properly adjusted, the next row is automatically connected when the tractor driver passes over the centre of the created track.
Layout and function 5.24 Headlight The floodlights allow visibility of the implement tools and the worked area when working after dark. By swivelling the right floodlight, the loading board and metering units are illuminated. Fig. 128 Cataya Super BAH0087-11 01.19...
