TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS/ HÉRCULES 10000 STAINLESS (Dimensions) Hércules 10000 Stainless with: - Adjustable Gooseneck - Tire: TM64/R - 18.4/15-30 - 12PR 2600 6770 Figure 04 4 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS The Hércules 10000/Stainless Spreader, is like any other piece of equipment, as with any agricultural implement or machinery, certain precautionary measures are indispensable for the avoidance of accidents.
-do not step on the conveyor while its moving; - retighten all screws/bolts before using the implement, take special care with the wheel nuts, the goose-neck engagement and transmission case supports; - after first 5 working hours, review all nuts and bolts and retighten as needed; - adopt as a standard procedure to inspect daily all the wheel nuts and bolts and the gooseneck 5 - MAINTENANCE So that all available resources of the implement can be fully appreciated, with durability and...
The oil quantity of each case is as follows: Triple case - 3/ l; Conveyor belt case - 7/ l; axle case- 0.6/l. - The first time oil change should be done after 50 work hours. - The gear case has a vent with a dip-stick to monitor the oil levels, which should be refilled when necessary.
6 -MOUNTING AND ADJUSTMENTS The Hércules 10000/Stainless leaves the factory assembled, with the exception of the wheel/tire assemblies, the goose-neck and the optional items needed to work with granular or powdered products. It is important to note in this manual that certain components need special adjustments, be it in the application of powdered or granular products.
2,100 to 1,800 to 2,700mm 2,400mm Figure 07 Figure 08 2nd Option: allows for a wheel base adjustment width between 1,800 to 2,400mm (figure 08). 6.2.2 - Wheel axle height adjustment: To adjust for the height use the height extender, always observing the maximum weight limit of 5,000 kg.
6.3 - Goose-neck mounting The Hércules 10000/Stainless offers two goose-neck options, allowing for the needs of job diversities. The Fixed Goose-neck, shown on figure 10, is used in the distribution of limestone, in irregular terrain. In the application of products the Adjustable Goose-neck is used, allowing for the implement to follow the tractor in its course around curves, thus avoiding product built-up.
HÉRCULES WITH ADJUSTABLE GOOSE-NECK GEAR DRIVE SYSTEM POWER TAKE-OFF Figure 12 6.4 - Braking system adjustments The Adjustable Goose-neck Braking System on inclined terrain serves as a means to avoiding side swipes, providing a greater stability during the job. It leaves the factory fully adjusted,but it is field adjustable, depending on the need and application.
6.6.1 - Configuration when using powdered products (limestone): Consisting of the following items, which should be removed when working with granular products: Chain Set; Discs for Limestones and 2 Load Reducers (Figure 13). 2 LOAD REDUCERS CHAIN DISCS FOR LIMESTONE DISTRIBUTION Figure 13 6.6.1.1 - Mounting and adjusting discs for limestone:...
On Figures 15, 16 and 17 we can better see the correct and incorrect ways to assemble the distribution discs and the vanes. IMPORTANT! Maintain the gear box axles greased, so as to facilitate the mounting and dismounting of the discs. CORRECT! LEFT RIGHT...

RIGHT CORRECT! LEFT Figure 20 - This is the proper mounting of the discs, which guarantee the adjustments and uniform distribution. IMPORTANT! Check the disc markings for : “E” or “L” for the left and, “D” or “R” for the right. Figure 20 WRONG INCORRECT!
6.7 - Deflector adjustments The deflector is used exclusively with granular products. It has the two selectable positions (position 1 and 2) - see figure 24, which should be verified before starting the job. The adjustment is directly affected by the type of application conditions: Position 1: for rate up to 150 kg/ha;...
- Conveyor gear box adjustment The operation of the conveyor is done through the gear box, as shown on figure 26, there are three adjustable positions. The positions are used as follows: Position 1: is used for low flow rates (fertilizers under 1,500 kg/ha).
6.9 - Adjusting the conveyor drive wheel and gear box The conveyor drive-wheel should be proportionally adjusted to guaranty its proper function, without jeopardizing its operation, and/or damaging components like the drive-shaft/cardan and the transmission gear boxes. Basically, follow the procedure listed below: - Always maintaing the conveyor drive-wheel tire (tire, 18 x 8.5-8 ATV MAX), centered with the machine’s tire, as shown on figure 28.
Page 31
2) Start the tractor, initializing the system (pressurize) again, according to figure 30. Figure 30 3) Distance the drive-wheel tire away from the conveyor at about 100mm in relation to the implements wheel as shown on figure 31. Following, with the tractor turned on, replace the bolt removed at step “1”, onto the nearest bolting pattern, re-tightening the nuts on the bolts.
6.10 - Using and adjusting the Cardan/ drive-shaft Due to various brands and models, it is necessary to adjust the length of the cardan in its first usage. 6.11 - Positioning and adjusting the triple box The operation of the triple box, which controls the distribution discs, has a specific setting which needs to be maintained, so that the product distribution will not be jeopardized, this is in regards to the positioning of the same, above the discs.

Retighten with caution Leakage on screw-on Apply sealing tape Insufficient sealing connections/fixed hoses. and retighten with caution tape on threads. Retighten with caution Loose connections. Apply sealing tape Insufficient sealing Leakage on...
8 - INSTRUCTIONS ON THE USAGE OF THE CALCULATION SCALE: For adjustments to be calculated using the scale, firstly it is necessary to, calculate the product density to be dispensed, which can be done by weighing the product, place it in a container measuring exactly 1 liter.
Page 35
OBTAINED FLOW- RATE BY THE DENSITY 1000 1100 1200 1300 1400 I/ha ADJUSTMENT RESULTS Figure 35 For example: The adjustment flow-rate is 250 l/ha. Check the back-side of the scale, for a job width of 36m, the scale adjustment of the floodgate will be on position 25 (see figure 36). EXAMPLES: EXAMPLES: Figure 36...
Gear box 2nd speed adjustment: The scale calculation procedure is the same as was done on the 1st speed, but before initiating the calculations, devide the desired flow-rate of kg/ha by 2. For example, if the operator desires to distribute 600kg/ha of a product, dividing this value by 2, obtaining a flow-rate of 300kg/ha, being that this is the initial value on the scale.

Therefore, using a set of four trays, place them in-line (see figure 37), being that: on a line of trays placed laterally within the row of application, or be it, if the product spreads within 36m, the trays should be spaced every 18m (from the beginning of one to the beginning of another) - (use a tape measure to measure the distances).
9.4 - Verifying the distribution row and the overlapping After the product has been distributed within the subscribed area, collect the product from one set of four trays and place the collections into one of the collection vessels, and the other set of 4 trays place its collection into the other collection vessel.
9.5 - Verifying the product flow-rates The product flow-rate verification should be done, in relationship to the desired amount of product (kg/ha) based on the sample amounts collected in the trays. Knowing that 1/ha equals an area of 10,000m , and the trays have a total area of 2m (each tray has area of 0.25m ). Example: You intend on distributing 2,500 kg/ha of limestone.
9.7 - Adjusting the flow-rate (kg/ha) using a set of sample collectors Another way to adjust the the product distribution flow-rates is to use sample collectors( part no.7410-3029). For this we suggest the following procedure: 1) Define the product to be applied, the rates kg/ha and the distribution width (on the tables select the job width and the discs to be used, checking for the vane positions on the discs);...

EXAMPLE: The process to apply 70kg/ha of urea 45% N PRILLIS, grain diameter of 2.28mm and with a specific weight of 0.78 kg/l. 1) Application conditions- Dose: 70kg/ha Discs: 18-24 Fertilizers (see example on pg. 31, item 10.1) Distribution width: 24m Vane positions: 17/49 (see table) Vane position: minor 17 Vane position: major 49...
