  • Page 31: Practical Recommendations

    Protective covers which are prone to wear should be checked regularly. Replace immediately if damaged. Spare parts must conform to the manufactures specification. Only use genuine Moore parts. Before working on any electrical circuit disconnect the power source. Repairs carried out on parts under tension or pressure (springs or components under pressure etc) require specialist knowledge and tooling so should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
  • Page 32 Practical recommendations FIELD OPERATION Do not turn sharp corners with the Uni-Drill especially in direct drilling operations as this will give massive disc to soil side thrust. When this happens the disc is parted from the seed coulter and trash can then enter between them resulting in blockage to the seed flow.
  • Page 33 Practical recommendations DRILLING INTO STRAW INCORPORATED SOIL AND TRASHY CONDITIONS In heavy trash conditions it may be necessary to raise the tip of the seed tube coulter so that the disc will cut through the trash before the coulter opens the slit. In heavy maize trash, especially in the direct drill or no-till situation, it may be necessary to raise the tip of the seed tube coulter 30 to 40 mm above the edge of the disc.
  • Page 34 Practical recommendations HOW TO PREVENT COMPACTION 1. Generalise the use of low-pressure tyres on field equipment to restrict surface compaction. Fitting wide tyres or twin wheels is not enough; pressure has to be adapted. The target is 0.6 bar, in agreement with the tyre manufacturer. When in tow, UNIDRILL does not load the rear wheels of the tractor and weights are not needed in the front! 2.
  • Page 35 Practical recommendations HOW TO FIGHT WEED Setup conservation tillage only in clean plots In particular, perennial weeds should be controlled during the preceding crop. Plan fighting weed within the cropping cycle. Alternate cereals with dicotyledon plants (peas, rape, beet…) as well as winter and spring crops. Take advantage of dicotyledon crops to take effective action against graminaceous weed, and of cereal crops to destroy dicotyledons.
