Fertiliser Coulter - horsch Maestro 12 SW Operating Instructions Manual

Fertiliser coulter

With the solid fertiliser equipment the fertiliser
can be placed together with the seed.
The fan directs the fertiliser through the distrib-
utor to the coulter discs and into the ground.
The coulter discs for dry fertiliser are laterally
offset to the seed placement by 6 cm.
The fertiliser placement can be adjusted to the
height of the seed placement. From the factory
the depth is set 33 mm below the seed place-
ment.
In a further step the fertiliser discs can be set to
a depth of 5.5 cm below the seed placement.
Fertiliser facility
The coulter discs are resiliently mounted and
can move up when hitting a stone.
Maintenance
Discs and scrapers are identical with the discs
for the seed placement.
All work required for adjustments and main-
tenance are therefore identical, except the
height adjustment - see coulter discs for seed
placement.
Adjusting the placement depth to 0 or 55 mm
Secure the machine against rolling, lift it and
¾
support it with proper jacks.
Loosen the two top screws for depth 0 mm,
¾
remove the ones for depth 55 mm. Loosen the
bottom screw and back it out for about 10 mm.
Move the discs to the bottom (55 mm) or the
¾
top position (0 mm). Turn in and tighten the
screws again.
Remove the jacks again.
¾
Adjust all coulters equally.
