Page 5: Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION It is essential to read and follow the instructions and recommendations in this manual before operating the machine. Careful reading enables maximum operator efficiency, prevents acci- dents and damage, and increases the seed drill’s capacity and life expectancy. Please ensure that this manual has been read by any person involved in performing opera- tional tasks, (including preparation, dealing with mechanical problems and supervising the machine), maintenance (inspection and technical assistance) and transport. -

Page 8: Use According To Design
3.4 USE ACCORDING TO DESIGN The Seed Drill SM-1909 has been designed for normal use in agricultural work, especially cereal and other kind of grain seeds. If the machine is used in circumstances other than the above, the manufacturer will not be held respon- sible for any damage caused. -
Page 9: Loading And Unloading Instructions
3.6 LOADING AND UNLOADING INSTRUCTIONS Use a bridge crane to load and unload the truck. A specifically designed hook, as shown in figure 1, should be used to prevent damage caused by the weight of the machine itself. Tow ropes should be fastened to the machine’s tripod as well as to the fasten points situated in the tine coulters’... -
Page 10: Essential Sowing Concepts
4. ESSENTIAL SOWING CONCEPTS 4.1 TERRAIN The better the soil condition, the better the sowing quality. Work is more difficult on big clods or une- ven furrows. Although SOLÀ machines resist harsh conditions, if the seedbed does not satisfy appropriate conditions then the sowing quality will suffer. - Page 11 IN VERY COLD PLACES, REPEATED FROSTBITE CAN HAVE A HONEYCOMB EFFECT ON THE GROUND’S MOST SUPERFICIAL LAYER. IN THIS CASE THE PLANT’S VERY FIRST ROOTS CAN LOOSEN AND THE PLANT WILL DIE. SLIGHTLY DEEPER PLANTING IS RECOMMENDED AND IF POSSIBLE, THE USE OF RO- LLERS TO COMPACT THE EARTH TO BETTER PROTECT THE SEEDS.

BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL DURING COUPLING 5.1 COUPLING THE SEED DRILL AND UNCOUPLING THE MACHINE. Seed drill SM-1909 is supplied with a three-point linkage of Once the seed drill is coupled with the tractor, the PTO shaft category 3. should be adapted. First dismount and insert one end into the tractor’s universal joint shaft and the other end into the... -

5.2 HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS To disconnect the auger conveyor: 1- Depressurize the hydraulic circuit. To use the machine’s hydraulic connections you will need: 2- Press the load switch (position OFF) at the front of the ma- chine (Fig. 7.1). When folding the machine: a double-acting. 3- Remove the loader’s hydraulic terminals from the sockets. -

DOSAGE There are two ways of dosing: For regular seeds For fine seeds with minimum flow rate WHEN CHANGING THE POSITION BOLT AND THE CLIP PIN OF THE AIR OUTLET TO THE FAN, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE SEED DOSING ROLLER CAN TURN FREELY AND THE HOPPER IS EMPTY. 1.Seed distributor 2.Dosing adjusting scale 3.Bolt... -
Page 16: Fine Seeds (Microdosing)
6.2 FINE SEEDS (microdosing) Remove the safety fork (fig. 19/9). Turn the spindle (nº4, fig. 19) to position 0 on the scale (fig. 19/4). Place the clip pin of the air outlet to fan (fig 19/8) in position F (fine seed). Turn the spindle (fig. -
Page 17: Complementary Dosing Tests
6.4 COMPLEMENTARY DOSING TESTS Close the trap-door (fig. 21/5) Open the hopper’s folding cover (fig. 21) and fill the hopper with seeds. 1- Test to determine the number of wheel turns. Open the lower trap-door (fig. 21/7) If differences exist between the test and the actual dose dis- tribution (due to a very uneven or light soil, low pressurised tyres, etc.), an experimental test can be performed. - Page 18 Every plant requires a certain amount of land from which nutrients will be absorbed. Therefore, both a low or an excessive plant density can be detrimental. To determine how many kilograms per hectare are to be sown, you should know the number of plants per square metre that are going to be planted. As a guidance, the recommended number of plants per square metre when sowing wheat or barley in un-irrigated land can be found in following table : AUTOMN...

Page 19: Adjusting Seed Planting Depth
7. ADJUSTING SEED PLANTING DEPTH SEED DRILL SHOULD ALWAYS WORK HORIZONTALLY, WITH BOTH THE REAR AND FRONTAL TINE COULTERS EQUALLY PENETRATING THE LAND. VERY IMPORTANT: THE TRACTOR’S CONTROLLER THAT MOVES THE FOLDING PARTS’ CYLINDER MUST BE IN FLOTATION MODE, TO BETTER ADAPT TO THE GROUND. 7.1 ADJUSTING RATCHETS AND SPINDLES There are two ratchets in the machine’s central body and two spindles in the side wheels. -
Page 20: Height-Adjustable Tine Coulters
7.2 HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE TINE COULTERS Tine coulters which are aligned with both the tractor’s wheels and the seed drill, have an adjustable height by means of a slide with holes which allows them to be lowered up to 7 cm. This allows to com- pensate the track mark effect and to achieve a more uniform seed planting depth. -
Page 21: Adjusting The Roller
7.4 ADJUSTING THE ROLLER The arms that support each roller have two bolts to perform the following adjustments: a. By using the upper bolt (nº1, fig. 29), the depth of the tine coulters equipment can be adjusted and therefore the pressure on the ground can be controlled. b. -
Page 22: Types Of Distribution
8. TYPES OF DISTRIBUTION 8.1 SEED DISTRIBUTION BY MECHANICAL FAN To ensure that seeds are supplied to the tine coulters’ sowing shoes, it is essential that the fan speed is between 4200 and 4500 rpm. For this purpose, the PTO shaft must be plugged into the 1000 rpm vent. If the turning speed is lower then some seeds are likely to remain in the seed hoses. -
Page 23: Optional Equipment
9. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT 9.1 HARROW Some adjustments can be performed on the harrow so that it can adapt to all types of ground : 1- Height adjustment, by operating the lower nut (fig 30/1) 2- Pressure adjustment, by using the spindle’s upper nut (fig 30/2) 3- Tines’s inclination, by operating the slide (fig 30/7) which holds the tines’... -
Page 24: Hydraulic Track Markers
9.2 HYDRAULIC TRACK MARKERS Track markers should be assembled in the sides of the folding parts. They are hydraulic and should be connected to tractor control unit. It is essential to fold the track markers before folding the machine for transit. -
Page 25: Adjusting Track Marker's Length
9.2.1 Adjusting track marker’s LENGTH To calculate the horizontal spacing between track discs and the last lateral tine coulter, use fo- llowing formula: A x (number of tine coulters + 1) - C A= distance between tine coulters B= horizontal distance between track disc and the the last lateral tine coulter. C= track width of the tractor. -

11. MAINTENANCE 11.1 LUBRICATION The following parts should be lubricated with solid calcium grease : All the joints of the cardan shaft should be greased daily. The joints of the folding parts should be greased every 100 Ha. Both the wheel’s and transmission’s bushings should be greased every 400 Ha. After finishing a sowing season, chains should be cleaned and greased with special chain grease. -
