    Sowing Chart. The control levers are located on the LH end of the seedbox, (opposite end to the gearbox). Number “1” corresponds to the minimum (closed) position and “10” the maximum gap (Fig 5). Fig 5 Pt. No. 67372 Issue 0806...

  • Page 18: Seed Calibration

    Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued) Seed Calibration The calibration test should be done to confirm the required seed rate and is done with the drill stationary and level. Seed Calibration Procedures Remove the calibration tray from the storage brackets on the seedbox. Place the calibration tray (1) adjacent to the seeder units (Fig 6).
  • Page 19 11 Where a coated seed is used it is advisable to check the calibration after 1 hectare as dressings can tend to create a coating on the seed metering wheels thus changing the the flowing properties of the seed which in turn alters the seed rate. Pt. No. 67372 Issue 0806...

  • Page 20: Recalculating The Constant

    Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued) Recalculating the Constant It is especially important in arable situations to check the rolling circumference of the tyre when in the cultivated area to be sown, and if necessary, to recalculate the constant and hence the number of crank turns.

  • Page 21: Calibration Deviations

    69.4m, place the crank handle over the hexagonal drive dog on the gearbox. Move the machine forward over the measured distance, counting the number of turns of the crank handle as you go. Using this number of crank turns repeat the calibration. Pt. No. 67372 Issue 0806...

  • Page 22: Sowing Of Fine Seeds

    Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued) Sowing Fine Seeds For sowing fine seeds the Vineyard Seeder is equipped as standard with a combined normal and fine seed “Elite” metering wheel (1). During grain sowing and other larger varieties of seed both the normal and fine seed metering wheels are coupled and both rotate.

  • Page 23: Sowing Small Seeds

    Sowing Small Seeds Calibration with Disconnected Agitator Shaft The fine seed metering wheel used in Duncan Drills is especially well suited for sowing small seeds such as rape. Due to the intensive action caused by the agitator the seeds can adhere to each other, or be damaged, causing irregular sowing/germination.

  • Page 24: Sowing Peas

    Peas having the size and shape as illustrated in Fig 13 (e.g. White Field Peas), can be sown without problems with all Duncan Drills with this type of metering wheel. The flap should be set to a gap of at least “3” on the flap setting lever (Page 15, Fig 3).
  • Page 25 It is advisable as with all things electronic to have a backup of your totals. We suggest you record these on a daily basis in a notebook or diary. Pt. No. 67372 Issue 0806...
