  • Page 32: Operation

    OPERATION Section 3 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. It is better to lift the machine out of and into work when turning corners.
  • Page 33 Operation DRILLING IN WET CONDITIONS The Uni-Drill is fitted with adjustable scrapers for the press wheels. Wet Soil will usually build up to about one inch on any wheel. Adjust the scraper so as to knock off the excess soil that would build up over the normal amount of soil that sticks to the press wheels. Leave a gap of 15 to 20 mm between the scraper and the press wheel.
  • Page 34 Operation DIRECT DRILLING GRASS PASTURES. Four methods are suggested for direct reseeding grass into grass pastures. A. If the pasture has been badly poached or there are bare patches due to frost kill etc., over the winter, about 110 Kg/Hectare of a vigorous growing type of grass (e.g. Italian Rye Grass) should be drilled just before growth starts (March / April).

  • Page 35: Burying The Straw

    BURYING THE STRAW Select a suitable variety. According to the selected variety, the quality of produced straw can vary as well as its shock resistance. A variety that is resistant to illness and does not imperatively require fungicidal protection at the end of the season will also be more easily decomposed by the fauna in the soil.

  • Page 36: Other Suggestions

    OTHER SUGGESTIONS (i) Pre– Emergence Marking. (If no pre-emergence marker is fitted) Once the operator is used to the hydraulic system operating the transport wheels, the wheels can be adjusted to just maker a mark on the soil behind the drill. This can be easily followed for pre-emergence chemical applications.
  • Page 37 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 38 Maintenance Change the oil in the variator gearbox every 500 ha or every 2 years at the most. Never grease the metering devices or the coulter tubes. Maintenance Cleaning Greasing Cleaning the inside of the hopper and Grease the machine (Markers) at the metering system.
  • Page 39 Maintenance The disc coulter tip should be running parallel with the disc so that they are just touching. This will reduce the build up of trash between the disc and disc coulter allowing both parts to run clean. Carry out these checks regularly, particularly when using the seed drill on hard or rocky soil.
  • Page 40 Maintenance - After 10 hours of use: C) Checks Check the tightness of the disc mounting bolts (disc fastening screws) and the tapered hub Check the following signs of wear bearings. Coulters If these bearings grow loose they must be tightened.
