  • Page 15: Mounting For Front Operation

    TIP! If you are using the roller in conjunction with a pneumatic seeder, position the parking support in the intended parking position (in the hollow profile of the roller frame). This prevents impact of the seed on the support and therefore an uneven spread pattern. Mounting for front operation PLEASE NOTE! For mounting at the front, you need the "Front mounting"...

    6: Roller cylinder Fig. 16 Thanks to its robust and compact design, the Grassland Combi GK 250/300 M1 is ideal for new seeding, reseeding, and controlling weeds on grassland. The height-adjustable levelling plate removes coarse unevenness in the grassland and spares the tines unnecessary strain.

  • Page 17: Working Position And Setting The Working Depth

    Working position and setting the working depth 10.1 Depth adjustment To adjust the depth of the GK 250/300 M1, 2 work steps are required.  Depending on how aggressively you want to till the soil, slightly extend or retract the cylinder to transfer the weight of the roller onto the harrow tines.

  • Page 18: Levelling Plate

    10.3 Levelling plate The levelling plate eliminates molehills after the winter and serve to roughly level the grassland. The height should be adjusted so that it runs along the sward just above the ground. It should not scratch into the sod. However, if the sod is very uneven, allowing the levelling board to slightly penetrate into the soil can improve the levelling effect on the long term.

  • Page 25  The parking surface must be suitable for parking the implement. The ground must be firm and level, so that the stands do not sink in and the Grassland Combi does not roll away.  To ensure safe parking of the implement, lower the stand of the Grassland Combi.
  • Page 26 Reseeding of grassland is theoretically possible during the entire frost- and snow-free period. Gaps in the crops should already be reseeded in the spring to prevent weed competition. As a matter of principle, you should reseed more frequently and therefore work less aggressively and reduce the seed quantity.
