Summary The SUMO Deep Tillage Seeder (DTS) drill is based on a concept known as ‘strip till drilling’, a method of only loosening and preparing a band of soil where the seed is to be placed and leaving the soil in- between rows undisturbed, and therefore not working ground unnecessarily.

3.2 Main functions The Artemis is designed to allow automatic, variable rate control of any drill. You can at any time, also manually override the predetermined rate as field conditions require. The basic functions are: Variable Rate Control Tramline Control ...
3.3 Control Modes and Data Logging Automatic Control Mode The application rate is automatically regulated as forward speed varies, to ensure that the actual application rate constantly matches a preset target rate. The application rate can be manually nudged up and down from the target rate as required. Field data ("job summaries") can be logged and are stored in the instrument memory.

MAIN screen (single product / dual metering) 4.2.1 Forward speed display and alarm functions Display smoothing Except for sudden changes in speed, the forward speed displayed at any moment will be the average speed calculated over 3 seconds.
When setting a new target rate on the RATE screen, the instrument re-calculates and displays the maximum forward speed at which that rate can be maintained (Fig.7). It is calculated from the rate set, drill working width, current calibration factor, gearbox ratio and maximum motor speed. Figure 7.
4.3 ‘RATE’ screen This screen allows the drilling rate to be adjusted. Either kg/ha or seeds/m units can be set via the SETUP menu.

4.6 Metering motor – manual override/Half-Width Shut off (HWSO) drilling As fitted to 6m and above drills. When wanting to only drill with one half of the machine, it is achievable by switching either the right or the left hand side motor. Seed is then delivered to just one of the distribution heads and subsequently just one half of the machine.
The appropriate side can then be turned back on again. This screen will remain shown until the appropriate motor is switched back on at which point product calibration can then be commenced normally. If the alarm cancel button is pressed the PSi simply goes back to the previously shown screen. 4.7 Product calibration 4.7.1 Initial product calibration Set up the drill in the usual way for a bucket test.

Press ENTER again for the instrument to re-calculate and display the new calibration factor in kg/rev, the error %, and the maximum forward speed that is permissible based on the application rate set for the product (Fig.20).
4.7.2 ‘CALIBRATION NUDGE’ - Adjusting the calibration factor The ‘calibration nudge’ procedure enables you to adjust the existing calibration factor without having to redo a bucket test. 1. First note down the PART TOTAL for the product displayed in the INFO screen. This is the theoretical quantity that the instrument has calculated.
4.9 Speed simulation In the unlikely event that the radar speed sensor stops working, you can continue drilling by simulating a forward speed signal. Remember though that your actual forward speed should match the simulated speed as close as possible, otherwise the drilling rate will not be correct. Drive faster than the simulated speed and you will under-apply, and vice-versa.
4.11 Speed Auto-cal. routine This procedure is required to calibrate the radar for the location it is positioned in. Certain machines have differing positions and proximity to the ground. Tractor pickup hitch, drawbar fluctuations etc. can all affect the perceived forward speed signal. 1.
