Description of Machine
The Duncan Linkage Renovator is a Coil Tyne Tee-boot
drill. The drill is carried and operated from the three point
linkage on the tractor. The machine is available in a two
box or single box option and these are mounted on a
robust frame. The quality European type peg roller
seeder system is suitable for seed and fertiliser and
handles all seeds from turnip and rape through to peas
and maize.
The machine has a calibration system for setting seeding
rates prior to operating, which is very simple and
accurate to use.The sowing depth control is achieved via
the three point linkage system and the wheel retraction
stops. The right hand depth control wheel is also the
drive wheel for the variable speed gearbox.
Working Principle
The gearbox, pegged seed rollers and seeder flaps are
set to give the desired seed rate. The coil tyne and teeboot,create the seed bed. Seed/fertiliser flows down the
flexible tubes between the seeder and tee-boot units, and
drops into the prepared seed bed.

SAFETY - General (Continued)
Appropriate Dress
Wear close fitting clothing and avoid rings or other forms of
jewellery which could become caught in the machinery.
People with long hair must have it securely fixed and confined
close to the head.
Refer to local safety standards for protective clothing and
recommended safety equipment.
Transport This Machine Safely
Ensure that all linkage pins and security clips are fitted correctly.
With trailing machines tow with the drawbar only, as this is the
only safe towing point on the machine.
Always check that bystanders (especially children) are well clear
(front and rear) before starting and moving the tractor and the
machine.
Plan safe routes of travel, and be aware of power lines and
other roadside hazards. Take particular care when towing
implements on hillsides.
Do not ride or allow passengers on the machine.
This machine is not designed to carry passengers, and no riders
are permitted.
Road transport
On public roads,
• A speed of 40km/h must not be exceeded.
• Do not operate during the hours of darkness unless standard
lights are fitted and clearly visible. (This also applies when
visibility is limited, e.g., in foggy conditions.)
See the Vehicle Dimension and Mass Rule, issued by the Land
& Transport Safety Authority.
Avoid tip-overs
Avoid holes, ditches and obstructions which may cause the
machine to tip over, especially on hillsides. Never drive near the
edge of a gully or steep embankment - it might cave in. Slow

SAFETY - General (Continued)
Handle Agricultural Chemicals Safely
All farm chemicals should be stored, used, handled and
disposed of safely and in accordance with the
supplier’s/manufacturer’s recommendations.
Read the product label before using, noting any warnings
or special cautions, including any protective clothing or
equipment that may be required, ie. respirtor.
Do not eat or smoke while handling sprays, fertilisers, coated
seeds, etc. Afterwards, always wash your hands and face
before you eat, drink, smoke, or use the toilet.
Store sprays, fertilisers, coated seeds, etc. out of reach of
children and pets, and away from food and animal feeds.
Any symptoms of illness during or after using chemicals
should be treated according to the supplier’s/manufacturer’s
recommendations. If severe, call a physician or get the
patient to hospital immediately. Keep the container and/or
label for reference.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Avoid any contact with fluids leaking under pressure, because
the fluids can penetrate the skin surface.
Any fluid which penetrates the skin, will need to be removed
immediately by a medical expert. Seek specialist advice on
this type of injury.
Relieve the pressure before disconnecting any hydraulic or
other lines. Make all repairs and tighten all fittings before
re-connection to pressurised fluid.
Keep your hands and body away from any pinholes or high
pressure jets. Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard
instead of using your hand directly.
Safe Work Practices
All farm machinery is potentially dangerous and should be
treated with caution and respect.
Before starting the machine, ensure that all controls are placed
in neutral and that bystanders are well clear. Check that the
guards have been securely fitted and that any adjustments

Basic Calibration Procedure
1
Gearbox Setting Lever
To set the seed rate at the gearbox, slacken the star knob (1) by
turning counter-clockwise and push from below into the position
indicated in the Sowing Chart. Retighten the star knob firmly (Fig
1).
Important
The settings shown in the Sowing Charts (kg/ha) can only serve
as reference values. Deviations may occur caused by
differences in the size, shape, density of the grain and by the
dressing agent. Therefore prior to any sowing, always carry
out calibration trials to accurately determine the actual seed
rate.
Fig 1
Using the stepless variable speed gearbox, the speed of the
metering shaft and thus the seed rate is set steplessly. The
higher the figure indicated on the scale by the setting lever the
greater the seed rate (Fig 1).
Selecting the Gear Ratio
The Seed Drill is designed with a two speed (high and low) gear
ratio arrangement where the moving of the chain from a 21 x 13
teeth ratio to a 13 x 21 teeth ratio changes the output from high
to low (Fig 2). The selection and method for changing the ratio is
detailed under Speed Setting Page 18.
Fig 2
Setting Seeder Shutter Slides
The varying flow properties of seeds require different shutter
slide positions which may be found in the Sowing Chart for the
individual type of seed. This corresponds to one of the three
settings in Fig 3.

Bottom Flap Settings
The various seed sizes require matching bottom flap clearances
below the metering wheel. The adjusting plate allows for 10
different settings. The required position for the seed type may be
found in the Sowing Chart. The control levers are located on the
LH end of the seedbox, (opposite end to the gearbox).

Make sure all the shutters are open and set to the
position indicated in the seed charts for the particular
seed (Table 3. Page 12).

Agitator Shaft - Check the Seed Chart “Hints” (Table 3)
whether to connect or disconnect the shaft by
removeing the lynch pins (1) during seeding (Fig 6).
5
For the test, half fill the box with seed. If this is not
possible make sure the seed is evenly distributed within
the box.
6
For setting method refer to Basic Calibration Procedures
(Page 13).
Note For seeds which are not covered in the Sowing Chart
(Page 12), use the figures for a seed of comparable size
and shape.
Fig 7
7
Place the crank handle over the hexagonal drive dog on
the transfer shaft and turn clockwise until the seed flows
consistently from the seeders (Fig 7). To ensure
complete filling of the seed unit continue turning the
crank until the calibration tray is approximately half full
then empty into the seedbox. The drill is now ready for
calibration.
8
Turn the crank handle clockwise the required number of
revolutions as detailed in Table 5.
Note The Calibration is usually done for 1/80th hectare.
For very small seed rates or when using inaccurate
scales (i.e. unable to measure to the nearest gram) the
calculation based on 1/20th hectare should be used.
Scales must be accurate to 2 grams as any error
will be multiplied by either 20 or 80 giving
inaccurate calibration results.

Hand Crank Turns for Seed Rate Calibration
The tables represented below are for arable conditions (worked
ground) and are calculated to indicate an average situation. If
there is any doubt as to the accuracy of these figures for the
conditions, it is advisable to run at least 1 of the 2 checks on the
calibration figures listed. Refer Page 16 (Recalculating the
Constant) and/or Page 17, (Wheel Slip Deviations). Check and
record which tyres are fitted to your drill, to ensure use of the
correct Hand Crank Turn and Constant figures.

Weigh the seed collected during the test in kilograms.
Caution: Scales must be accurate to 1 gram, as any error will be
multiplied by either 20 or 80, giving inaccurate calibration results.
10 Calculate the seed rate by multiplying the kgs previously collected
x 80 (1/80th ha method, refer Table 6) or x 20 (1/20th ha method,
refer Table 7) depending on the requirement. If the resultant
calculation does not produce the desired seed rate use the
enclosed seed rate calculator disc to determine the correct
gearbox setting.
Refer Use of Seed Rate Calculator Page 16
Suggestion: To be on the safe side and until confidence has been
gained with the method of calibration it is advisable to conduct a
second test at the newly determined gearbox setting.
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.
For 1/80 Hectare (125m2) Calibration
Seed Rate = Actual Seed Collected (kg) x 80

For 1/20 Hectare (500m2) Calibration
Seed Rate = Actual Seed Collected (kg) x 20

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.
If there is a significant difference between the figure used for calculations in this manual, the constant
should be recalculated and hence the crank turns for those particular conditions.
Note: If a significant difference is found in the rolling circumference the H1 setting should also be
adjusted on the hectaremeter.
1
To recalculate the constant due to altered conditions or specific requirements use the formulae
detailed in Table 6 or 7 (Page 15).
2
To obtain the rolling circumference of the tyre:
Half fill the seed/fertiliser boxes or simulate this loading.
Mark the tyre of the drill at 900 to the ground and the
point of contact with a mark on the ground. Move
the drill forward 5 revolutions until the mark on
the tyre is again at 900 to the ground.
Measure the distance along the ground
and divide by 5 to give the rolling
circumference of the tyre.
Use of Seed Rate
Calculator
Determining the gear box
scale setting using the
calculator.
Usually the first calibration test yields a
different seed rate. However with the
value determined from the first test it is
possible to determine the correct gearbox
setting with the aid of the enclosed disc
calculator ( Fig 8). The disc calculator consists of
3 scales. An outer white scale (1) for all seed rates
above 30 kg/ha and an inner scale (2) for all seed rates
below 30 kg/ha. On the middle coloured scale (3) are all the gearbox
setting numbers to a maximum value of 100.
Setting Example (Desired Seed Rate 125kg/ha)
1
2
3
4
From the calibration procedure at a gearbox lever setting of “70”, a seed rate of 175 kg/ha
is obtained.
Turn the inner disc until the measured seed rate of 175kg/ha (A) is in line with the related
actual gearbox setting of “70”(B) (Fig 8).
Read off from the disc rule the necessary gearbox setting for the required seed rate of
125kg/ha (C). In this example the correct setting is “50” (D) (Fig 8).
To be on the safe side the new gearbox setting can be checked by another calibration test.

Fig 8
Basic Calibration Procedure
(Continued)
Calibration Deviations
Deviations Between the Calibration Test and the
Actual Seed Rate
The most frequent cause for changes between the calibration
test and the seed rate lies in the flowing properties of seed
during sowing. These changes in properties generally result from
reactions of the dressing agents to temperature, humidity or
abrasion. These changes will become even more obvious when
the bottom flaps are incorrectly set. If the setting of these flaps
leaves too large a gap an uncontrollable additional flow of seed
can occur during seeding; especially when assisted by the drill
bouncing, a condition not simulated while conducting the
calibration tests. For this reason the basic setting of the bottom
flaps should be checked at regular intervals.
Residues from the seed dressing on the bottom flaps and
metering wheels can also influence the flowing properties of the
seed and thus the seed rate. In such cases a balance will occur
only after a period of time and it is recommended to repeat the
calibration test to confirm the seed rate after 2-3 seedbox fillings,
nominally when the seed box is half empty.
Only then will a balance occur and the seed rate will stabilise.
Wheel Slip Deviations
It is always possible with rubber tyred drills in extreme ground
conditions to get wheel slip. Not normally a problem with cleated
type tyres in good condition, but more so in the arable situation
with the less agressive tread patterns. The result: large
differences between the calibration test and the actual sowing
rate, obviously less seed deposited than required. The number
of crank turns indicated in Table 5 is correct in most
circumstances other than those mentioned above.
To check number of crank turns for calibration
Should you require to check this in a practical way proceed as
follows:
For an area of 125m2 (1/80 Hectare), a travel distance of
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.

Hints for Sowing with Variable Speed
Gearbox
1
The gearbox allows for stepless changes in the speed of
the metering shaft and thus the seed rates. Due to the
variations in seed type and application rates there are two
speed ranges available.
By changing from High Speed to Low Speed the range of
settings and control is dramatically increased. The
machine is supplied ex factory set to the high speed
configuration. Change to the Low Speed when the gearbox
setting is down to 10 on the scale and the desired seed
rate cannot be obtained.
To change the speed setting from high to low, remove the
wing nut (1) and chain cover.(2) (Fig 9).
Release the tension on the chain (1) by forcing back the
chain tensioner (2) and hold in place with the crank
handle. Remove the chain from the 21 tooth output
sprocket to the 13 tooth sprocket, then remove the chain
from the 13 tooth gearbox sprocket to the 21 tooth. Check
the chain is correctly aligned then release the chain
tensioner. Ensure the tension roller is correctly aligned with
the chain. Replace guard and calibrate as required.

To Determine the Gearbox Setting after a
Speed Change
For determining the correct gearbox setting after the speed
change, conduct the first test at 50. With the weight of
seed collected find your correct setting with the aid of the
disc calculator, refer Page 16, Fig 8.

Sowing of Fine Seeds
For sowing fine seeds the Renovator Drill 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. In order to convert the
seed drill to sow fine seed insert the crank handle and rotate
clockwise until the holes (2) of the fine seed wheel are
visible (Fig 11)
Using the tool supplied (1) disengage the the pin inside
the hole so that the normal metering wheel rotates freely
on the metering shaft (Fig 12).
At this time it would be advisable to close
any shutter slides not required for the fine
seed sowing.
When seed is to be sown again using the
normal metering wheel press the pin, from
the normal metering wheel side (opposite
direction to before), using the tool, back into
the hole of the fine seed wheel thus
reconnecting the drive between the two.

Small Seeds
Calibration with Disconnected Agitator Shaft
1
Fig 13
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. Therefore it is recommended that
when sowing small seeds, especially oil seeds and thin
shelled seeds, the drive to the agitator is disconnected.
To do this remove the lynch pin (1) (Fig 13).
Deviations between the calibrated and actual seed rate can
occur when residual dressing agent sticks to the bottom flaps
and thus slows the flow of seed. Before beginning the actual
calibration test fill the calibration trays by turning the crank
handle at a high speed around the 90 setting on the gearbox
scale. This will cause an immediate buildup of the dresssing
agent on the flaps. Return the contents of the calibration trays
to the seed box and proceed with the actual calibration. Due
to the residue buildup on the flaps your calibration will now
reflect accurately the required seed rate.
It is advisable with small seeds to use the 1/20 hectare
method for your calibration, thus cutting down on weighing
errors.
Note - Remember to reconnect the agitator shaft as required
for other seeds otherwise the consistency of seed rate will be
affected.
Fig 14
Sowing Peas
Peas having the size and shape as illustrated in Fig 14 (e.g.
White Field Peas), can be sown without problems with all
Clough 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 13, Fig 4).
With these peas it should not be necessary to run the agitator
shaft.
Peas having the size and shape as illustrated in Fig 15 (e.g.
Green or Garden Peas), tend to bridge inside the seedbox
and do not flow freely.
This multi-faceted pea requires agitation for sowing.
Fig 15
Caution - When resetting the metering wheels
on the seeder shaft
Care should be taken when tightening the grub screws
on the fine seed wheel (Page 18, Fig 11, item 3). Adjust the
grubscrew until the movement of the metering wheel just
stops, then tighten no more than 1/8 of a turn.
Do not overtighten as this can result in breakages while
operating and may render the warranty on these units void.

Hectaremeter Settings Setup
Refer to the installation and operation instructions supplied with
your hectaremeter kit (1) for information on installation, calibration,
operation and servicing (Fig 16).
Table 6 gives the effective working widths for the various
machines depending on the machine size and the row spacing.
The calibration procedure described in the hectaremeter
handbook involves accurately measuring the circumference of the
tyre and entering and storing this value in the meter. The effective
sowing width also needs to be entered. For measuring the tyre
circumference and obtaining the rolling circumference of the tyre
refer Recalculating the Constant (Page 16).
Note: If under certain operating conditions a calibration check
indicates a significant difference in the rolling circumference of the
tyre, the hectaremeter should be recalibrated by changing the H1
setting for the period of operation under those conditions.

Fig 21
The required seed rate is controlled by both the metering
wheels and the bottom flaps. The seed flows from the seed
box into the metering wheel housings. Inside the metering
wheel housing (1) the seed is caught between the metering
wheel (2) and the bottom flap (3). The metered amount of
seed is transported by the metering wheel to the edge of
the bottom flap where it drops off into the seed guide tube
which leads to the coulter. Varying grain sizes require the
matching of the flap clearance to the different grain sizes.
This matching is done by raising or lowering the bottom
flaps by using the flap adjusting lever on the LH end of the
seed box. If larger foreign particles, e.g. stones get
between the metering wheel and the bottom flap, the
bottom flap can give way downwards. A strong return
spring (4) brings the bottom flap immediately back into the
working position.
The metering system should be checked every 1/2 year
or before any sowing period with an empty seed box
and empty metering housings.
1
Use the following procedure:
Put the bottom flap setting levers (1) (located on the LH
end of the seed boxes) in position “1” for the front box and
position “1” for the rear box. Refer Fig 22.
By turning the metering wheel shaft by hand check the
flaps are all set to a gap of 0.1 to 0.5mm (refer Fig 21).
To adjust individual flaps use the spring tensioning screw
(5) (Fig 21).
Fig 22
Storage
Preparing the Machine for Storage.
Locate on a dry level surface. The machine should be stored
wherever possible with the rams retracted (where fitted). The
drive chains should be lubricated with suitable roller chain
lubricant before prolonged periods of storage.
For longer term storage remove seed/fertiliser tubes from the
coulters and allow to hang without deformation. Check tube
lengths when replacing.
It is recommended that maintenance be carried out at the end
of the season, giving sufficient time to obtain spare parts
and/or carry out repairs if required.
