Page 5: For The User Of The Machine And For Those Responsible For The Machine
1. FOR THE USER OF THE MACHINE AND FOR THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MACHINE We wish you the best success with our TUME seed and fertilizer drill. This instruction manual gives you the correct methods to use, adjust, maintain and store Tume Titan. When you follow the instructions in this book your machine will serve you impeccably for a long time. -
Page 6: Purpose Of Use
Accessories can be used to add to Tume Titan's features, and then the combination of the machine and the accessory can be used simultaneously with seeding and fertilising, during the same drive, to till or level the field, sow grass seeds, disinfect the seed to be sown as well as dig furrows for plant protection spraying. -
Page 7: Using The Machine Exceptionally For Sowing Only
Using the machine for fertilising only Tume Titan can also be used for applying fertiliser only, on at least minimally tilled fields. For this purpose the fertiliser is filled into either the fertiliser hopper or seed hopper or both. -
Page 8: Correct Sowing Time
With Tume Titan you can sow in spring straight into the soil which was lightly tilled in the autumn, if the field is sufficiently flat. If required, the light surface tilling can be made during sowing by connecting the Tume CultiPack cultivator to the front of the seed and fertiliser drill. -
Page 9: Tyre Equipment For The Machines Moving On The Field
On the other hand, the coulter pressure should be less on the light soil, so that the seed does not go in too deep. Because the machine combination Tume Titan & tractor is rather heavy, we recommend that when you sow into tilled soil you use the middle packer (picture 1 below) to level the sprouting. -
Page 10: Installing The Drawbar
When Tume Titan is lifted onto a lorry (loading the machine in the factory, for example), a lifting device specially built for this operation is used. The lifting is performed from the centre wall, in the driving direction, which is inside the machine's hoppers. It has 2 oblong holes, through which the lifting devices are threaded (you need 2) and to which the lifting chains are attached. -
Page 11: Attaching The Machine To The Tractor
Attaching the machine to the tractor Tume Titan is attached to the tractor's towing hook as normal. We do not recommend attaching the machine to the tractor's tow bars, because it makes the front end of the tractor lighter and makes controls less effective. -
Page 12: Driving Instructions
Damp fertiliser can cause ¬feed problems. Tume Titan is always equipped with double-disc coulters. At high seeding speeds the vertical fluctuation of seeding is more common with disc coulters than with a machine with Suffolk coulters. -
Page 13: Ground Wheel For The Feeding System
7. GROUND WHEEL FOR THE FEEDING SYSTEM The feeding system gets its power from a ground wheel on the left side of the machine. The ground wheel is attached to the hopper and thus it rises up when the machine is lifted. When the machine is lifted, the ground wheel leaves the ground and the feeding stops. -
Page 14: Filling The Hoppers
8. FILLING THE HOPPERS Timing the filling Before starting sowing we recommend that the machine is transported to the field whilst empty. The fertiliser and seeds are brought to the field on a ¬trailer, for example, and the seed fertiliser is filled¬... -
Page 15: Emptying The Hoppers
Large sacks can be handled with different loaders. Do not go under a hanging load. The large sack must not be lowered¬ on top of the seed and fertiliser structures. Do not overload the seed and fertiliser. Find out about these methods in order to partially empty¬ the large sack. 9. - Page 16 Bottom valve adjustment lever Bottom valve Closing gate Feeding roller Picture 9. Adjusting the feed with the hand wheel. Picture 10. Principle of the feeding system. The amount of feed is adjusted by turning the feed roller sideways in relation to the feed chamber.
-
Page 17: Turning The Transmission Cassette
If the machine has a seed dressing device, the calibration must be run again after about one hectare's seeding. A mordant can reduce the amount of feed as much as 20%! NOTE! The hand wheel must not be turned to zero position by force. Simultaneous turning of the feeding axle makes adjusting easier. -

FERTILISER FEEDING SYSTEM AND ITS ADJUSTMENTS General description The machine has as many fertiliser feeding chambers as those that feed seed. The amount of feed is adjusted by ¬turning the feed roller sideways in relation to the feed chamber. -

After the adjustment the locking lever is turned into the hole in the hand wheel to lock both the wheel and the lever. Please note that the adjustment¬ position provided by the sowing chart is advisory and the actual amount¬ of feed varies between different fertiliser batches. We recommend that the amount of feed¬... - Page 20 Picture 13. Sowing chart.

Page 22: Calibration
13. CALIBRATION General Because the adjustment values provided in the sowing chart are¬ ¬only advisory, you must perform calibration before seeding. Before starting¬ calibration, adjust the machine according to the sowing chart. Check: • Transmission cassette settings I / II •... - Page 23 Picture 14. Ground wheel in a calibration position. Picture 15. Hose shelves in a calibration position. Calibration troughs for both seed-side and fertiliser-side are supplied as standard with Tume Titan. You can also keep these troughs in place during sowing. However, always remember to empty the troughs from dust etc.

Page 24: Simultaneous Calibration For Seeds And Fertilizer
the seeds and fertiliser go back into the coulters instead of the calibration troughs. Finally close the protective cover at the right side. Picture 16. Emptying the calibration trough. Simultaneous calibration for seeds and fertilizer Turn the crank a few times so that the feeding chambers fill up properly. After this carefully empty the calibration troughs. -
Page 25: Field Test
This is why the sowing chart gives an advisory range for calibration values: Titan 3000: 11 – 12 r/a Titan 4000: 8.25 – 9 r/a The accuracy of the sowing amount can be increased by performing a field test in sowing conditions. -
Page 26: Adjusting The Seeding Depth And Fertilising Depth
Correct seeding depth and getting the seed into the bottom of the tilled soil is one of the most important factors affecting sprouting. Tume Titan has large diameter double-disc coulters which penetrate well and which have notched outside perimeter. The coulters are designed to be used in both minimally tilled and traditionally tilled conditions. -
Page 27: Adjusting The Rear Harrow
Monitor the working depth from time to time when the work is proceeding. The springs of the Tume Titan coulters are designed so that the coulter's height does not really affect the coulter's pressurization. -
Page 28: Drill Maintenance
Read the maintenance instructions carefully. If you¬ follow the instructions, TUME- seed and fertiliser drill works impeccably from one year to the next. If you neglect the maintenance according to these instructions, the warranty will become void. -

Picture 19. Lifting cylinder safety valve open. NOTE! Transportation is not allowed when safety valves (picture 19) are closed. The machine's hydraulic circuit is pressurized even when it has been removed from the tractor. DANGER! THE MACHINE'S PAINTED SURFACE MAY EMIT GASES HARMFUL TO HEALTH WHEN IT GETS HOT. -
Page 30: Noteworthy Hints For Using The Machine
Noteworthy hints for using the machine Some large and light seeds (such as some types of oats) might have difficulties when the seeds flow through the sieves. In this case remove the sieves from the hopper. Take special care when filling the hopper so that no large particles can mix with the seed and damage the feeding system. -

Turn the hand wheel for a few rotations. Thus you ensure that the feeding chambers are full. Turn the ground wheel for the amount matching with 10 acres (Titan 3000: 110 – 120 turns, Titan 4000: 82 – 90 turns). - Page 36 TUME-AGRI OY PL 77 14201 TURENKI FINLAND PUH. 0207 433 060 TEL.
