The AMAZONE tractor mounted seed drill of the type DE SPECIAL is one machine from the AMAZONE-range of farm machinery.

The engineering technology in connection with the correct operation ensures Optimum use and longevity.

TO ensure that you will get the best possible results from your

“AMAZONE” we would ask you to read and observe these instructions carefully. You will, of course, appreciate that we will not be able to accept Claims under the guarantee if any darnage is caused due to incorrect Operation.

Please enter the serial number of your seed drill here. You will find this number in front of your seed drill at the left side of the central hopper supporting bracket. Additionally the serial number is painted to the front of the drili’s seed box.

Please always quote the serial number when ordering spares or asking technical questions: pjijixq

Your seed drill camplies only with the regulations of the agricultural health and safety authorities if in case of repair original

Spareparts of the AMAZONEN-WORKS are being used for replace- ment.

CAUTION!

Whenever the machine is moved, the agitator shaft turns even if the gearbox is set at “0”. Therefore, make sure that no Parts are left rnside the seed box before movir>g the drill. Otherwise darnage could occur to the agitator shaft.

Never put your hands inside the seed box while the machine is moving as serious injury may be caused by the rotating agitator shaft (never try to level the seed inside the seed box while the machine is in drilling Operation).

2 On receipt of the machine

When receiving the machine please check immediately whether transport darnage has occured or whether Parts are missing. Only an immediate Claim with the transporters leads to compensation. Please check also whether all Parts mentioned in the delivery note were supplied.

The coulters of the seed drill are fixed to the seed drill by the coulter bearing fixing.

The coulter bearing fixing is equipped with a highlift bracket (Fig. 6/7) made from polyamide. For transporting some coulters are raised by the highlift support (Fig. 7/1) at the de!ivery. !f you shou!d notice this on your seed drill just lift the corresponding coulters briefly and flap the highlift bracket forward as shown in Fig. 6/1 so that when letting the coulter go it will rest on the ground.

CAUTION!

When moving the seed drill in the yard the agitator shaft still turns even with the gearbox setting on “0”. For this reason never place any Parts inside the seed box, as this could darnage the agitator shaft and, of course, such Parts.

DANGER:

Never resch with your hands inside the seedbox. Danger of injury by the rotating agitator shaft!

3 Before the first Operation

3.1 Fitting of the seed drill to the rear three-point-linkage of the tractor

The seed drill D8 SPECIAL is mounted to the rear three-point-linkage of the tractor as shown in Fig. 4. For attaching the tractor’s lower links are pushed over the ends of the seed drill’s lower link rod (Fig. 5/1) and secured by Clip Pins.

The seed drill D8-20 SPECIAL is equipped with a lower link rod of the tat. 1 (Fig. 5/1).

Upon special request also a lower link rod tat. II is available.

The seed drills D8-25 SPECIAL and D8-30 SPECIAL are equipped as Standard with lower link rods of the tat. II.

In lifted Position the lower links of the tractor should have only a slight side movement to ensure that the machine always runs centrally behind the tractor and that it does not

Swing from one side to the other when turning at the headlands with the lifted machine.

The top link is connected by the dual tat. l and II (Fig. 5/2) and secured by a Clip pin.

The length of the top link is adjusted until the seed drill has a vertical Position.

Please remember that the seed drill should only be filled with seed after having been attached to the tractor and it should also only be disconnected from the tractor after it has been completely emptied as otherwise it may tip over to the rear.

Fig. 9

3.2 Choice of the wheel positioning with regard to the following bouts

The seed drills are delivered with the rim trank turned irrwar& (Fig. 8). This results in the following transport- and trackwidths:

Seed drill

Always two coulters run in the wheelmarks of the seed drill and when driving the adjacent bouts two wheclmarks are lying side by side. yT li!riiirq the wheels, so that the rim trank is turned outwar& (Frg. 9) the following merisurements result:

Transport width

2.13 m

Track width

.-~

2.00 m D8-20 SPECIAL

D8-25 SPECIAL

D8-30 SPECIAL

At this way of fitting the wheels the gap between the tyres and the chain cover box of the seed drill is considerably increased and thus no congestion of seil will occur on heavy and sticky soils.

Now only the outer coulters are running m the seed drill’s wheelmark. When driving the adjacent bouts on the field the seed drill wheels are running twice the same wheelmark.

Therefore only half the number of drill wheelmarks are seen on the field.

When turning the wheels also the wheel scrapers (Fig. lO/l) (special accessory) must be repositioned. The drstance between the scraper and the tyre must become wider from the Inside (about 1 cm) to the outside (about 2 cm).

NOTE:

For the transport on public roads where a maximum transport width of 3.0 m may nut be exceeded (please consult your local traffit authorities) the seed drill D8-30 SPECIAL may only be transported with inward cranked rims to bring the seed drill ‘.[dth within limits (please see above tables).

3.3 Markers

The AMAZONE seed drill DB SPECIAL Comes as Standard with disc-markers. During sowing on the field the markers create a mark which the tractor Operator follows with the tractor’s front wheel when sowing the adjacent heut.

For transport the markers should he lifted and as shown in Fig. 11 be secured by the securing bar (Fig. ll/l) at the points provided and also be secured by a Clip pin

(Fg 11/2).

If thc seed drill is lifted for transport it tan happen with some tractor types, that the lifted markers darnage the opened rear window of the tractor. In such cases it is possi- btr !o use the hole in the centre of the securing rod (Fig. ll/l) so that the markers are

~j!qh!ly antrled sidewavs and don’t endange the rear window of the tractor any longer.

CALJTION!

Thrs posrlion of the markers being slightly angled out sideways is only allowable on the liold. When driving on public roads, the markers must be fixed accordrng to Fig. 11.

3.3.1 Setting of the markers

For setting the markers both marker arms are folcled down. For this after removal of the

Clip ptn (Fig. 11/2) the securing bar (Fig. ll/l) is swung sideways and the marker is folded down (Fig. 12).

First set the length of the marker arms. Depending on the tractor’s track, working width and number of rows of seed drill varying marker settings result, il e. different distances

At the end of this instruction book we explain by some examples how you tan determine the drstance between the marker disc and the seed drill’s centre. The distance may now be set at the markers. For this loosen the clamping eye-bolt (Fig. 12/1) by inserting the hcindle of the calibration trank and thereafter the vertical marker arm may be slid on the horizontal marker tube.

If it should be necessary to place the mark closely to the seed drill wheel, exchange the righthand and the lefthand vertical marker arms (Fig. 13).

The position of the marker discs (Fig. 12/2) should be set simultaneously with the length adjustment. The Position of the marker disc in relation to the seed drill wheel may be changed after loosening the flat round head bolt (Fig. 12/3).

On light soils the marker discs (Fig. 12/2) should be set in such a way, that they are standing nearly parallel with the driving direction. However, on heavy soils the marker discs are positioned “on grip” so that they are standing more at an angle to work more aggressively and thus create a better visible mark.

After the setting tighten the eye bolt (Fig. 12/1) and the flat round head bolt (Fig. 12/3) firmly. Swing the changeover lever (Fig. 14/1) to the lefthand. Now the end of the steel cable (Fig. 12/4) should be fixed to one of the five holes of the lefthand securing bracket in such a way that the cable sags slightly as soon as the marker discs are touching the ground in the wheel level. Hereby the working dcpth of the markers is limited from 60 to

80 mm. If the markers are set too deeply danger prevails on rough and stony seed beds.

Dy swiveling the marker changeover lever (Fig. l4/1) to the righthand side the lefthand marker is raised and the righthand marker sinks downwards. Now the righthand end of the steel cable is fastened to the righthand marker as described above.

11

3.4 Filling of the seed box

Before filling the seed box of the seed drill, the drill should be attached to the tractor and the seed box cover (Fig. 15/1) be opened. The seed box cover (Fig. 15/1) is held automatically in the opened Position so that the seed cannot come down by wind or other influences. The seed box may now easily be filled from the rear of the machine

(Fig. 16). For closing the seed box cover by one hand the leck (Fig. 15/2) is lifted and by the other hand the cover is closed. The cover closes the seed box rain-proof.

The ball end of the seed level indicator (Fig. 17/1) (Option) is automatically lifted when opening the seed box cover. When filling the seed box it should be watched over that no heavy Parts are placed on the ball of the seed level indicator.

The seed box should never be emptied completely during Operation as this may result in a seed rate Variation caused by the uneven distribution of seed inside the seed box. If the pointer (Fig. 18/1) at the front wall of the seed box is coming close the “O”-mark, the seed drill should be refilled.

3.5 Setting of the seed rate

For the setting of the seed rate three different operations should be conducted for every type of seed and for the desired seed rate according to the prescriptions in the setting

Chart: a) Gearbox lever Position b) Shutter slicfe Position c) Bottom flap Position

The seed rate tables may be found at the end of this instruction manual.

3.51 Setting of the gearbox

For the setting of the gearbox (Fig. 19/1) undo the star knob (Fig. 19/3) of the gearbox isetting lever (Fig. 19/2) by turning counter-clockwise. Thereafter move the pointer end of the setting lever to the Position determined from the seed rate setting Chart. The gearbox sett~ng lever (Fig. 19/2) should always be pushed from below inio ihe desiied position. Thereafter tighten the star knob firmly by turning it clockwise.

The higher the Chosen figure on the setting scale (Fig. 19/4), the higher the seed rate.

ATTENTION! l-he figiires in the setting Chart tan only be taken as guide. Deviations from these figures may occur by the size and the shape of the corn as weil as of its bulk density and by seed dressings. Therefore in any case it is necessary to conduct the calibration test.

3.5.2 Setting of the shutter slide Position

The shutter slide (Fig. 20/1) at the metering wheel housing tan be set in three different positions. “closed”, “3/4 open” and “open”.

Tbc nccessary Position for the corresponding type of seed is mentioned in every setting

Chart

3.5.3 Setting of the bottom flaps

The control levcr (Fig. 21/1) for the setting of the bottom flaps may be found an the left- hnnd side of the machine (as seen from behind looking into the driving direction). The control lever may be fixed in eight different positions at the rest plate (Fig. 21/2).

Also for the bottom flap control lever the required Position for the relative type of seed may be found in the seed rate setting Chart.

15

Fig. 24

3.6 Calibration test

The calibration test should be dorre to ascertain whether the required seed rate is really achieved. First the three basic settings (see Para. 3.5 “Setting of the seed rate”) should be set according to the setting Chart: a) Gearbox setting lever Position b) Shutter slide Position c) Bottom flap Position

Always leave those shutter slides closed where the metering wheel housings are not equipped with a metering wheel.

The seed box should only be half-filled with seed as the calibration trank may then be turned easier as with a filled seed box.

For the calibration test the seed tube mounting rail (Fig. 22/1) must be brought to the middte or lower posiiiün. and to the right of the seed tube mounting rail must be retracted, the seed tube mounting rail be lowered and pushed into the required Position. The locking pins (Fig. 22/2) automaticaily rest In the middie poaition and the seed tube mounting rail (Fig. 22!1) is fixed.

The seed tube mounting rail (Fig. 22/1) tan be fixed in 3 positions at the side for height adjustment (Fig. 22/3):

- upper Position of the seed tube mounting rail: for sowing

- rniddle Position of the seed tube mounting rail: for calibration test

- iower position of the seed tube mounting rail: for emptying the seed box and for cali- br-airon iesi if in the middle position the calrbration tray is fiiied so much with seed that the seed would come into contact with the metering wheel housing.

The calibration trays (Fig. 23/1) should be placecl on the seed tube mounting rail (Fig.

23/2) The seed drill should be raised in the tractor’s hydraulic until the drill wheels tan be driven freely (Fig. 24).

The calibration trank (Fig. 24/1) should be inserted into the Square hole of the righthand wheel. Besides for turning the wheel for the calibration this calibration trank tan also be used for turning the spindle of the coulter pressure adjustment. For quicker access this trank is normally placed on the coulter pressure adjustment spindle at the lefthand side 01 the seed drill. For preparing the calibration test place the calibration trank (Fig.

24/1) into the righthand seed drill wheel and turn it a few times until the seed leaves all metering wheel housings equally (Fig. 24/2). Then all metering wheels have been filled with seed. Now empty the calibration trays (Fig. 23/1) into the seed box.

‘rhe seed drills D8 SPECIAL have especially short calibration trays. When filling the seed irrt0 another Container (Fig. 25) short calibration trays may be emptied easier without spilling any seed. Now the calibration test tan begin.

17

The number of wheel-turns to be performed is equivalent to an area of ‘/dg ha (250 sqm) and depends on the tyre size and width of the seed drill:

In the following table the number of wheel-turns are mentioned for the various available

:ieed drill widths:

The number of wheel-turns for all other working widths tan be calculated for the tyre size 5.00-16 as follows:

Number of wheel turns on

1/40 ha (250 sqm)

Number of wheel turns on 1 a (100 sqm)

.:

116.7 working width (m)

46.7 working width (m)

For determination of the wheel turns a mean wheel Slip of 7’/0 has been allowed.

The collected seed quantity must be weighed (Fig. 25) and the weight be muttiplied by the factor 40 (at ‘/G ha) or factor 100 (at 1 a) respectively. This calculated seed rate is equivalent to the actual seed rate in kgs/ha.

I

At

1/40 ha (250 sqm) calibrated seed rate x 40 = actual seed rate in kgs/ha

At 1 a (100 sqm) calibrated seed rate x 100 = actual seed rate in kgs/ha

I lf a higher rate is desired a hiaher figure shou!d be chosen at the scale cf the gearbox lever and vice versa. The calibration test must be repeated until the exactly desired seed rate has been achieved.

18

3.6.1 Deviations between the calibration test and the actual seed rate

When turning the wheel trank for the calibration test, a drive on the field is simulated. As the seed drill wheel turns less on a prepared seed bed than on a firm road of the same distance. for determination of the number of wheel turns it was taken that the seed drill whcel has a wheel Slip of 7Oi0 on the field. This value has been determined by long year’s experience and is found to be applicable in most of the cases.

On extremely light and loose soils, however, the wheel Slip at the seed drill wheel may also become higher. On very firm, cloddy soils the wheel Slip may become smaller than

7 “Io. iiierefore ii targcr deviations between thc calibration test and the actual seed rate

~:hrr:!!c~! bt? nchced it will he necessary to iecaicuiate the number r;l wherl turnt fnr the calrbration test.

For this one measures on the field 250 sqm. This is equivalent at a seed drill with:

2.00 m workrng width 125.0 m driving distance

2.50 m working wrdth 100.0 tn driving distance

3.00 m worklng wldth 83.3 rn driving drstance

~_

Now the number of wheel turns must be counted when driving the pre-determined distance. With this number of wheel turns the calibration test should be performed. The

AMAZONE seed drill D8 SPECIAL has considerably larger tyres than presently common on this kind of träctor mounteä seed diiiis. For this reasotn the influence of the soil condition is comparatively small, less than with drills with smaller tyres. The described deviations tan only occur in especially unfavourable situations.

The seed rate tan be influenced considerably not only by the wheel Slip but also by residue of seed dressings in front of the outlets of the metering wheel housings and on the bottom flaps. If such residue should be noticed, the calibration test must be repeated after 2-3 sown seed box fillings. Thereafter a state of equilibrity has been reached and the seed rate does not drop any further irrespective of existing dressing residue.

4 Sowing of fine seeds

For sowing fine seeds each AMAZONE D8 SPECIAL is equipped as Standard with the combined Standard and fine seed metering wheel (Elite metering wheel, Fig. 26/1). Du- ring grain sowing Standard and fine seed metering wheels are coupled and both rotate.

In Order to convert the drill to fine seed move the gearbox setting lever (Fig. 27/1) up and down a few times until the pin holes (Fig. 26/2) of the metering shaft are visible.

Push the pin of the pin hole with the supplied key (Fig. 28/1) until the normal metering wheel tan be moved freely on the metering shaft. The brass screw (Fig. 26/3) should never be removed! Also shut off those shutter siides that will not be used for sowing fine seeds.

Thosc shutters should be closed which are not required for sowing of fine seeds. For re- engaging the normal metering wheels first bring the metering shaft into such a Position, that the prn holes at the fine seed metering wheels are Seen. Thereafter turn the normal seed metering wheels slightly by hand and press the locking pin back into the fine seed mettring wheel.

4.1 Rape seed

The fine seed metering wheel used in the AMAZONE-seed drills is especially suited for rape seed Due to the intensive agitating action of the agitator shaft it may be that during the sowing operation the rape seed sticks (glues) together and hence may Cause irregu- lar sowrng To avoid this we recommend to disengage the drive of the agitator shaft for rape sowing

To achieve this, remove the connecting bolt (Fig. 29/1) on the right hand side inside the seed box which links the agitator shaft with the drive shaft Sprocket.

Deviations between the calibrated and the actually sown seed rate tan occur then when residue of the dressing agent sticks to the bottom flaps and thus slows the flow of the rape seed. To take this possibility immediately into account, we recommend to proceed as follows: Before beginning with the actual calibration test, fill the calibration tray by turning the trank at a high gearbox setting (approx. “80”). This will Cause immediately the dressing agent to stick to the bottom flaps to its final amount. Now, return the contents of the calibration tray and Start with the actual calibration test. Due to the residue on the bottom flaps this test will be performed under the same conditions as during later sowing. Deviations between the calibrated and the actual sown seed rate will then no longer occur.

.To avoid weighing errors make the calibration test according to ‘/IO ha (1,000 sqm) or

‘/‘u ha (250 sqm). Please use a suitabie weighing scale (no spring scale pfease).

NOTE!

Please do not forget after sowing rape or green peas/bean seed to engage the agitator drive agarn by inserting the connecting bolt (Fig. 29/1). Otherwise Problems would occur ospecrally when sowrng seeds with beards of ears in that the seed may Cause bridging and thus a faulty seed rate results.

A special rape seed box insert (Fig. 30/1) is available for the AMAZONE seed drill

D8 SPECIAL which may then only be fitted after having stopped the agitator drive. This rape seed insert reduces the seed box volume considerably so that this expensive rape seed tan be sown out almost completely.

The rape seed box insert, of course, may also be used for other easy running seeds which are sown in small seed rates (at a stopped agitator shaft) i. e. for kale.

5 En route to the field (transport on public roads)

If public roads are used en route to the field, ensure the tractor and drill conform to the traffit regulations. In particular this means:

The maximum transport width of 3 m must not be exceeded. The wheels of the

D8 SPECIAL must be mounted with the rim cranks turned inwards (Fig. 8).

- The markers should be brought into the transporting Position according to Fig. 8.

Place the legally permissible traffit lights on the light carriers mounted on the sides of the drill (Fig. 31) in such a way that the upper mounting is used for the front facing irghis and the lower mounting for the light facing to the rear. Lift the seed drill only so high that the distance from the road to the rear reflectors (Fig. 31/1, Fig. 32/1) ooes not exceed 900 mm. Fig. 32 Shows the firmly mounted traffit lights (Order No. 30690), which mny stay on during field Operation.

_. The marker carriers (Fig. 66/1) of the hydraulic pre-emergence markers should be removed from the carrying arm by removing the pin (Fig. 6711).

-.. The following harrow with pendulum balance and Single coulter stilt harrows must be marked by two red/white striped warning plates (Fig. 33/1) on their right and left hand

Vlli”...

-. The outer harrow elements of the extra-coverage following harrow (Fig. 75/1) should be removed from the Square tube. Use the calibration trank for loosening the ring nuts on the wedgebolt.

.- The backward facing tines of the extra-coverage harrow must be equipped with the traffit security board (Fig. 34/1 = Option). On this traffit security board also two light carriers are mounted to which the rear lights (Fig. 34/2) and the lower positioned reflectors (Fig. 34/3) are fixed. Also here the distance of the reflectors from the ground must not exceed 900 mm.

- The height of the upper edge of the rear lights (Fig. 34/2) to the road must not exceed

1,550 mm. The distance must also be maintained if the seed drill is used in combination with an AMAZONE System “Liftpack” (Fig. 34).

Also please do not forget to check the lights for proper function.

If the seed drill is operated in combination with an AMAZONE power harrow, the side dam levellers (Fig. 34/4) of the power harrow must be folded into transporting Position

(please refer to the instructions of the RE-power harrow).

Furthermore note that the tractor’s allowable rear-axle load is not exceeded. If the tractor drives with an AMAZONE tilling and sowing combination consisting of an AMAZONE power harrow or rotary cultivator, packer roller and D8 SPECIAL with System “Liftpack” of a working width of 3 m the tractor rear axle receives an additional load of about

3,000 kgs.

ßy no means a drill, if it is operated in combination with a soil tilling implement, should be transported with a filled seed box since then the maximum axle load allowable for public traffit will be exceeded in nearly all cases. Additionally please mind the allowable total weight of the tractor.

Please pay attention to these hints especially on public roads. They will help to prevent accidents.

6 Setting of the seed drill on the field

On the field, remove the rear lights and lower the markers. Check whether the track marker steel cables have the correct length towards the marker arms. Swivel the marker changeover levers to that side on which it is to create its first mark at the first bout.

6.1 Central coulter pressure adjustment

The coulter pressure determines the planting depth of the seed. The accurate maintaining of the required planting depth is one of the most important pre-conditions for a higher yield. ‘The seed drills D8 SPECIAL therefore are equipped as Standard with a central coulter pressure adjustment.

6.4.1 Setfing of the individual couiter pressure

For sctting the accurate planting depth, it is necessary to drive with the seed drill a distance of 20 to 30 m on the field at that Speed at which the seed drill is to be operated later on; thereafter the planting depth should be checked. With an increasing operating speed the planting depth becomes shallower, with a slower operating Speed it becomes deepcr. If the seed has been placed too deeply, the coulter pressure should be reduced or vice versa.

By the central coulter pressure adjustment the coulter pressure of all coulters may be set stepless at once. The adjustment is done by placing the calibration trank (Fig. 35/1)

<>r:tc the spi!ld!e er! the !eft hand side of !he sec d drill. The calibration trank may be found oasily reachable for the tractor Operator on the side of the spindle on the left side part of the seed drill. One clockwise turn increases the coulter pressure.

It is recommended to increase the coulter pressure of those coulters which are running in the tractor’s wheel marks.

The coulter pressure of the individual coulters may be changed individually by hanging the spring (Fig. 36/1) into another hole of the fixing bracket (Fig. 36/2) below the coulter tubes. On very light soils a too great planting depth may be obtained only by the weight of the coulters without additional coulter pressure. In such a case it is highly recommended to equip the “K”-coulters with the Clip-on band sowing shoes or the depth limiters (see optional accessories).

Furthermore a hydraulic coulter pressure adjustment is available as Option.

7 After use care - emptying the seed box

For emptying the seed box lower the seed tube mounting rail (Fig. 37/1) and bring it into the lower resting position. For this the locking pins (Fig. 37/2) at the right and left side of the seed tubc mounting rail have to be pushed to the sides. Now place the calibration trays (Fis. 3ß/i) onto the seed tube mounting rail (Fig. 38/2).

Open up all shutter slides (Fig. 38/3) and pull the bottom flap lever (Fig. 39/1) at the left hand side of the seed drill over the notched locking plate (Fig. 39/2) all the way to the rear Now the remainder of the seed rums out of the seed box into the calibration trays.

If the calibration trays are filled, close the bottom flaps (Fig. 38/4) in the same way with the bottom flap setting lever (Fig. 39/1) again and empty the calibration trays. This procedure should he repeated until the seed box is completely emptied and cleaned.

The machtne tan be cleaned with a jet of water or compressed air. If you intend to clean the seed box with compressed air please remember that the dust from the dressing

;qrr-;i g>; r;e;v:;i)<,;;z do not inhaie ihis riusi!

Wheri the machine is put away, ieave the bottom flaps fully open. Where these are left ctosod, the danger exists that mice will try to enter the seed hopper since even when ernpty, the smelt of grain pcrsists. When the bottom flaps are closed, mice will gnaw at

Ihe bottom flaps and metering wheels. Therefore - bottom flaps open!

8 Care and maintenance

The AMAZONE seed drill D8 SPECIAL is free of maintenance, however, the following

Points should be noted:

8.1 Oil level in the stepless variable metering transmission

Check the oil level on the gearbox using the sight glass. An oil Change is not required.

When it is necessary to top-up the Oil, remove the cover and refill with hydraulic fluid

WTL 16.5 cSt/50” C. The maximum fluid quantity is 1.8 litre.

8.2 Tyre air pressure

The air pressure in the tyres should be checked regularly. The seed drills D8 SPECIAL are equipped with tyres 5.00-16. The tyres 5.00-16 receive an air pressure of 1.2 bar by the factory.

8.3 Drive chain

The drive chain which drives the stepless variable oilbath transmission from the ground wheel should be re-tensioned at the chain tensioner (Fig. 41/1) after approx. the first twenty hours of Operation. For this the two nuts (Fig. 41/1) should be loosened and the shaft of the chain Sprocket (Fig. 41/2) be pressed to the rear. The next re-tensionings may then be done after every 200 hours of Operation.

8.4 Coulters

All coulter bearings are free of maintenance

29

9 Special accessories (Options)

All components listed under this heading are extras which do not form part of the standard fitment and must be ordered separately. However, they all tan be fitted retrospectively, all mounting holes and fixtures being available on the Standard production rnachine.

10 Quick coupler

As the name says, the quick coupler was designed for a quick and easy coupling of the seed drill to the tractor. This quick coupler (Fig. 42/1) tan also be used to increase the drstance between the seed drill and the tractor if necessary.

First the quick couo!er should be mounted to the tractor’s three Point linkage. If the tractor

IS eqmpped with a three pomt linkage tat. 1, this linkage should be attached to the pins

:E-i,- ,$?‘Q> infide nf thn nuick couolino frame and at tractors with tat. II with the pins

(Fig. 42/3) located outside of the quick coupier frame and they shoufd De secured by lynch Pins.

The top link is connected with the special dual connecting pin for tat. I and tat. II (Fig.

42/4) and to be secured by lynch Pins.

For coupling of the seed drill the lower link catch hooks (Fig. 42/5) have to catch the drill’s lower link pins on both sides. Thereafter push the securing plates (Fig. 42/6) over the pin ends and secure with lynch Pins.

‘The toi; \ink pin of the seed drill shou!d be conn-;.-- bracket (Fig.

42/7) at ihe quick coupling frame. The upper iink fengtn shouid be adjusted until the seed drill’s rear wall is positioned vertically.

11 Seed level indicator

The seed level indicator (Fig. 43/1) Shows the tractor driver during the Operation how much seed is left in the seed box.

Whenever the pointer (Fig. 43/1) reaches the “O”-mark the seed drill should be refilled.

Never drive until the seed box is completely empty as this may Cause deviations in the seed rates by the uneven distribution of the seed inside the seed box.

The ball of the seed level indicator (Fig. 44/1) is automatically lifted when lifting the seed box cover. When filling the seed box care should be taken that no heavy Parts are olaced on the ball of the seed level indicator.

12 Wheel scrapers

The wheel scrapers (Fig. 4571) clean the seed drill’s wheels from sticking soil. The wheel scrapers have to be fixed to the mounting bracket in such a way that the gap between the scrapers and the tyres increases from the inside (about 1 cm) to the outside (about

2 cm).

31

13 Hook markers

The AMAZONE seed drill D8 SPECIAL tan also be equipped with hook markers (Fig. 47).

The hook markers have the same function as the disc markers, however they are only suitable for light and medium heavy soils.

13.1 Setting of the hook markers

For setting of the hook markers both marker arms have to be folded down. The securing bracket (Fig. 46/1) should be swivelled outwards after removal of the Clip pin (Fig. 46/2) and the marker arm be folded downwards (Fig. 47).

First adjust the length of the marker arm. Depending on the tractor track, working width and number of rows of the seed drill, different marker arm lengths result, i. e. distances from the seed drill’s centre to the hook markers.

At the end of this instruction book we explain by some examples how you may determine the distance of the hook markers to the centre of the seed drill. The distance has now to be set at the markers. For this undo the ring holt (Fig. 47/1) by the calibration trank handle and slide the marker chisel on the marker arm.

The marking depth of the hook marker should be limited to between 60 and 80 mm. To achieve this the end of the steel cable (Fig. 47/2) should be fixed to one of the five holes of the securing rods (Fig. 46/1).

14 Automatic marker changeover

The automatic marker changeover (Fig. 48) automatically changes the seed drill’s markers at the headlands. When lifting the machine before turning on the headlands the swivelling lower link bar (Fig. 48/1) is raised. Hereby the switching mechanism is actuated. In the lifted Position of the seed drill both markers are lifted off the ground. After the lowering of the machine and before the beginning of the new bout that marker will be automatically lowered which was not in action during the previous bout.

14.1 Mechanical automatic marker changeover iiie mechan;ca! automatic marker changeover is connected with the swivelling lower link bar (Flg.48/1). When lifting the seed drill this hinged lower link bar is lifted and the switching mechanism is actuated.

14.2 Setting of the markers of the marker changeover

The seed drill should be mounted to the tracior. For example when the machine is lowcred to the ground the left trip plate (Fig. 48/2) with the left marker (Fig. 49/1) is lowered. The end of the steel cable (Fig. 49/2) should be fixed to one of the five holes of the securing bar in such a way that the rope slackens slightly as soon as the marker discs are lymg in the level of the wheels. This limits the working depth of the markers to 60 to 80 mm.

The seed drill is lifted and lowered by the tractor hydraulics. The left trip plate (Fig. 48/2) swivels inwards and the right trip plate swivels outwards. Now the right hand end of the steel cable is fixed to the track markers in the same manner as described above.

In the raised Position of the seed drill please check whether both markers are sufficiently raised. If not, the steel cables should be adjusted in the holes of the securing rods.

CAUTION!

If the marker discs operate too low the markers are susceptible of darnage.

14.3 Setting of the automatic trip for the marker changeover

In case the automatic marker changeover does not Change properly, please check the following Points:

Can the two swivelling lower link mounting arms (Fig. 50/1) move freely to the upper stop (Fig. 50/2) or is this movement limited by soil sticking in between? If this is the case, Lhe function of the marker changeover tan be regained by cleaning the lower link mountmg arms.

If the automatic marker changeover still does not change over regularly after this inspec- tion its adjustment should be checked. The nut and the leck nut on the ring bolt (Fig.

50/3) should be loosened. The upper nut should be turned upwards, the leck nut on the ring held downwards. Push the lower link rod (Fig. 50/5) by a winch or a car-jack up- ward:; against the two Stops (Fig. 50/2). Now the right hand trip plate (Fig. 50/6) is locked and the left hand trip plate (Fig. 50/7) is swivelled outwards. If now the nut on the ring bolt (Fig. 50/4) is driven downwards, the left hand trip plate (Fig. 50/9) swivels upwards until the leafspring (Fig. 50/8) tan be heard locating into a groove of the trip wheel

(Fig. 50/9). Now the changeover procedure is terminated. The upper nut should now be rotated one complete turn further downwards and the counter nut be tightened.

Now mount the seed drill to the tractor and check the function of the automatic marker changeover.

35

Fig. 52

36

14.4 Hydraulic marker changeover

The automatic marker changeover (Fig. 51/1) may also be actuated hydraulically. The hydraulic ram of the automatic marker changeover is connected with a Single acting control valve of the tractor.

For changing over the markers at the headlands, the control valve of the tractor is set to “lifting position”. Then both markers are lifted off the ground at the turning Operation.

After turning at the headlands the control valve is pushed to “lowering” so that thereafter the correct marker disc is automatically lowered. With the hydraulic automatic marker changeover it is possible to combine in automatic function the tramlining control and the hydraulic pre-emergence marker control.

14.5 Setting of the marker’s automatic System

On delivery the automatic marker is adjusted for correct tripping. After the run-in period ot the new machine it may become necessary to re-adjust the automatic marker slightly it the tripping is not regular and proper. Therefore the hydraulic ram (Fig. 52/1) is put under pressure. Loosen the lack-nut (Fig. 52/2) of the yoke bolt and turn the Piston

(Fig 52!3) oi fhe hydrauiic ram üy a fork spanner ünti! the feaf spring (Fio 52/4\ rests onto the Sprocket of the automatic marker and until a play of 1-2 mm between the leafspring and the tooth is set.

Now check by trial lifting whether the automatic marker changeover is correctly set. If everything functions allright, please do not forget to tighten the counter-nut on the yoke bolt of the hydraulic ram again firmly.

15 Metering wheel tramlining control wrap spring coupling

With the aid of the tramlining unit on the seed drill it is possible to create at certain distancos so-called “tramlines” by which some rows behind the tractor’s wheel marks are not sown. ‘The spacings depend on the working width of the following operations

(tertilizer spreader, sprayer etc.). In para 16 you may find some examples.

For cteating tramlines it is possible to close down simultaneously up to three, in ex- ceptional cases up to four or five metering wheels (Fig. 54/1) in the desired switching rhythm

A namline indicator wheel (Fig, 53/2) at the switch box (Fig. 53/1) is visible from the tractor seat to show which Position of the automatic tramlining kit is actually on. As soon as the indicator number “0” tan be Seen, the drive sprockets and the metering wheels

(Fig. 54/1) come to a standstill. Due to this interrupted flow of seed a tramline is created.

When beginning the Operation, the tramline unit has to be shifted by pulling by hand the overriding lever (Fig. 53/3) until the correct number (Fig. 53/2) tan be Seen in the switch box. Further details you may see in Para. 16 explaining some examples of the creation

When beginning also note that the marker changeover has been set correctly and that the track markers are iowered on ihe coiiect side.

A divrdor wheel (Fig. 6311) inside the switch box controls the rows, in which the tramlrnes are created. For the 2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-fold switching the dividor wheel is the Same.

For convorsion of the switch box to another switching rhythm simply place the trip rollers

(Fig 63/2) as described at the end of this Para. into other holes and add, if necessary.

For all further switching rhythms corresponding dividor wheels tan be supplied. The following table indicates which dividor wheel corresponds to which seed drill bout width and to whrch tramline spacing:

15.1 Semi-automatic control

The semi-automatic metering wheel tramlining control is actuated by a rope (Fig. 55/1).

This rope tan be pulled at each turn from the tractor seat to trigger off the tramlining switching.

15.2 Fully automatic control

The fully automatic tramlining control tan be achieved if the free end of the rope (Fig.

55/2) is fixed beneath the tractor to a suitable place at a firm Point.

When the machine is now lifted by the tractor’s three Point linkage the rope is automatically tensioned so that the tramlining changeover is triggered off. The free end of the rope (Fig. 55/1) is brought to the tractor seat and tan be used for correcting whenever it is necessary to override any tramline switchings.

For automatic Operation the length of the rope should be adjusted in such a way that, whenever the machine is fully lifted, the rope is tensioned so far at the setting bracket

(Fig. 55/3) that it triggers off the switching action.

15.4 Checking the function of the metering wheel tramlining control

Actuate the tramlining control several times to check whether in Position “0” the coupling lever (Fig. 59/1) holds back the wrap spring coupling so that the drive of the tramlining metering wheels is interrupted. After switching from “0” to “1” the coupling lever of the wrap spring coupling is withdrawn so that the tramline metering wheels are driven by the drive sprockets on the counter shaft.

If your seed drill has not been used for a longer period, please check, whether the tramline metering wheels tan be moved freely on the shaft. Some residue of seed dressings may Cause a firm seating of the tramline metering wheels on the metering shaft. In such a case the tramlining unit is no longer functioning properly.

Disengageable tramline metering wheels which have, due to seed dressing residue, got

15.5 Matthing of the tramline width to another tractor track width

If the purchase of a new tractor makes it necessary to Change the tractor track width in the tramline System, proceed as follows:

._ Loosen pulling springs (Fig. 60/1) between the metering wheel housings and the swivel bearings (Fig. 60/2) and fold backwards the counter shaft (Fig. 62).

One mounting (Fig. 60/3), which secures the counter shaft from axial movement, hooks into a hole at the metering wheel housing. This fixing has to be pulled out of the mounting hole at the metering wheel housing for folding the counter shaft backwards and must be fixed in the Same way again after re-fitting in the same or in the hole of an adjacent metering wheel housing. The fixing (Fig. 61/1) is secured from axial movement on the counter shaft by set rings (Fig. 61/2).

-. Loosen the hexagon bolts (Fig. 62/2), with which the swivel bearings to the right and to the left next to the tramlining metering wheel housings are fixed.

-- Slide the swivel bearings (Fig. 62/3) and the PVC-drive Sprocket (Fig. 62/4) to the

- Loosen the fixing bolts (Fig. 62/5) of the new tramlining metering wheels until these tan be turned freely.

- Now affix the swivel bearings (Fig. 62/3) to the right and the left next to the tramlining metering wheel housings and hang in the pulling springs between the swivel bearings and the metering wheel housings.

- Let the keys of the PVC-drive Sprocket and those of the fine seed metering wheel mash and fix the drive Sprocket onto the counter shaft.

Now connect the formerly used tramlining fine seed metering wheels with the metering wheel shaft again. The threaded pin should be driven into the fine seed metering wheel until it is engaged with a little play. Never tighten the threaded pins too much as this will Cause a buckling of the metering wheels.

15.6 Sowing with the two-fold tramlining control

If started on the righthand side of the field:

‘The fitting of the PVC-drive Sprocket (Fig. 62/4) is done as described under Para. 15.5.

Now the counter shaft should be equipped with PVC-drive sprockets only on the right side of the machine. The drive sprockets are to be mounted to the counter shaft in such a way, that the distance of the tramlining metering wheels is equivalent to half a tractor’s track width when measured from the righthand outer edge of the machine. If also a pre- emergence marker is used, the left hand marker disc should be removed.

15.7 Converting of the control box to another tramline frequency

The dividor wheel (Fig. 63/1) is the same for the 2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-fold sequence. If the

Order of the sequences should be changed, only the shift rollers (Fig. 63/2) at the dividor wheel (Fig. 63/1) need to be re-positioned or added.

For the 5-, 7-, 8- and Q-fold sequence it is necessary to exchange the existing dividor wheel (Fig. 63/1) against a corresponding dividor wheel.

When changing the control box to another sequence, it is necessary to put on also the correct self-adhesive number Strip on the counter wheel (Fig. 63/3).

Ichanging from a 2-, 3, 4- or 6-fold sequence to another sequence within this group:

It IS only necessary to Change the Position of the switch rollers (Fig. 63/2) or to add them. This Change is also possible if the switch box still is mounted to the seed drill:

- Remove protective cover (Fig. 63/4) after taking off two of the screws (Fig. 63/5).

.- Remove clamp (Fig. 63/6) and pull off together with the counter wheel.

-.. Remove the securing disc (Fig. 63/7j after removing the circlip 24~1.2 (Fig. 63/8).

- Now the Position of the free accessible shifting rollers (Fig. 63/2) may be changed according to Fig. 64 after having pulled out the pins (Fig. 63/9).

The assembly of the switch-box is done in the opposite Order:

- Mount the securing disc (Fig. 63/7) and circlip (Fig. 63/8).

Apply new number tape (Fig. 65) to the counter wheel (Fig. 63/3) and mount it with the aid of the clamp (Fig. 63/6) onto the dividor wheel.

- Now shift a few times the operating lever (Fig. 63/10) at the switch box until the clamping tube (Fig. 63/11) is pulled by a switch roller (Fig. 63/2) and held in that position. The protective cover (Fig. 63/4) is held to the switch box and the number wheel

(Fig. 63/3) is turned until the number “0” Shows up in the window of the protective cover.

At the two-fold sequence again a “0” must show up due to the two consecutive following switch rollers, and the clamping tube (Fig. 63/11) must stay in the pulled Position due to the second switching roller:

- Fit the counter wheel (Fig. 63/3) with the clamp (Fig. 63/6) and the protective cover

(Fig. 63/4).

- Switch the dividor wheel by the pulling lever (Fig. 63/10) a few times until the counter wheel (Fig. 63/3) has made three complete turns at least and check whether the switch box operates properly, i.e. whether in every “O”-Position the clamping tube

(Fig. 63/11) is being pulled properly.

17 Hydraulic remote controlled pre-emergence marker

A hydraulic pre-emergence marker (Fig. 66/1) tan be combined with the automatic tramlining System. If the drive of the metering wheels is tut off for laying out tramlines, the two large pre-emergence marking discs (Fig. 66/2) are lowered, marking the wheel marks of the tractor so that they are visible before the appearance of the crop.

Following sowing it is possible to drive along the not yet visible tramlines to pre- emergence Spray. The discs are raised when all metering wheels are in Operation, that is to say, when no tramline is created.

The marker discs tan be set to the tractor wheel base with the aid of the ring bolts

!i-lcJ. 6Oi3)

On lighter soils the marker discs tan be set by turning the disc axle (Fig. 66/4) so that the marker disc runs approx. parallel to the seed drill wheel.

On heavy soils, however, the marker discs are turned to stand on “grip” so that they work more aggressively and a clearly visible trace is left behind.

If a tramlining unit with a 2-bout ratchet is used only one marker disc has to be used.

This marker disc has to be set in such a way that a tramline is created in a to and fro bout of the field (see Para. 16).

After removing the securing pin (Fig. 67/1) the marker disc carrier (Fig. 66/1) should be arty.jrr;u IV LIIUL .,,-.., -.. . . Thereafter the marker carrier

(Fig. 66/1) and the carrier arm (Fig. 67/2) should be mounted in the hole plate with the fixing pin (Fig. 67/1) and secured by the lynch pin.

In transport Position the marker carriers (Fig. 68/1) and carrying arms (Fig. 68/2) should be mounted with the pin (Fig. 68/3) and secured.

When travelling on public roads the marker carriers (Fig. 68/1) with the marker discs should be taken off.

The pre-emergence markers are controlled by a one-way control valve (Fig. 69/1) which on the other hand is controlled by the tramlining ratchet kit. A steering disc (Fig. 69/3) on the pulling rod (Fig. 69/2) of the switch box presses in Position “0” against the control valve lever (Fig. 69/4) and the marker discs are lowered. After the further shifting of the tramlining kit into Position “l”, the steering disc (Fig. 69/3) returns and thus the pre- emergence marker discs are lifted again.

The steering disc (Fig. 69/3) is set on Position “0”.

18 Hydraulic remote controlled adjustment of seed rate

This tan become of interest when wanting to sow in soils with frequently changing soil conditions on the same field whereby one wants to set a higher seed rate on patches of heavier seil or when wanting to sow on hill tops with a minimum of top seil, etc. With the aid of the hydraulic remote controlled adjustment of seed rate (Fig. 70) it is possible to Change the seed rate within a pre-selected range from the tractor seat.

The hydraulic remote controlled adjustment of the seed rate is coupled with the coulter pressurc setting If the coulter pressure is increased, the seed rate will also be increased automatically.

After having passed the patch with heavy soil on which the higher seed rate was sown, the pressure to the hydraulic ram is taken back so that the machine returns to sowing a smaller seed rate again.

18.1 Setting of the seed rate

For settrng the normal seed rate both star knobs (Fig. 70/1 and Fig. 70/2) should be loosened and the pointer (Fig. 70/3) be moved to the desired gearbox setting. Hereafter tighten the star knob nuts again and perform a calibration test, as described in Para. 3.6.

If simultaneously with the increase of the coulter pressure also the seed rate is to be increased, the higher seed rate should be set as follows:

Pressurize the hydraulic ram (Fig. 70/4). Screw the adjuster bolt (Fig. 70/5) into the welded-on nut. This will push the gearbox setting lever down via the lever mechanism.

The adluster screw is turned until the pointer Position for the desired increased seed rate IS reached on the scale. By means of a calibration test in this Position - i.e. with pressurized hydraulic ram - a calibration test is carried out to see if the desired higher seed rate has been attained.

If on places with heavy seil, the coulter pressure is increased but no increase in the sowing quantity is desired, the adjusting screw (Fig. 70/5) must be turned fully out. Then an rncrease of the coulter pressure will not be accompanied by an increase of seed rate.

19 Following harrow

After sowing the seed is evenly covered with seil by the following harrow. On heavy soils the following harrow with pendulum compensation or a two-sectioned with pendu- lurn compensation should be used.

19.1 Single coulter stilt following harrow

The spring loaded Single coulter stilt following harrows (Fig. 71/1) are mounted to the

“K”-coulter and are secured with the washer (Fig. 71/2) and the final securing Clip

(Fig. 71/3).

19.2 Following harrow, one-section with pendulum compensation

The tollowing harrow is mounted to the seed drill with the aid of a parallelogram frame.

The bolts (Fig. 72/1) are put on the distance tube (Fig. 72/2). The cranked bar (Fig. 72/3) should be mounted on both sides with the bolt (Fig. 72/1), the spring washer (Fig. 72/4), the nut (Fig. 72/5) as weil as the bolt (Fig. 72/6), the spring washer (Fig. 72/2) and the nut (Fig. 72/8).

19.3 Following harrow, two-section with pendulum compensation

The two-section following harrow is mounted to the seed drill in the same way as the one section following harrow. The rubber buffer (Fig. 74/1) is mounted to the lower hole

(Fig. 74/2) and the connecting rod (Fig. 74/3) is fixed to the second hole (Fig. 74/4).

20 Extra coverage following harrow

20.1 Fitting and setting of the extra coverage following harrow

After sowing, the seed is evenly covered with soil by the extra coverage harrow (Fig.

75/1). Like the roll coulters, the extra coverage following harrow (Fig. 75/1) operates totally without blocking, even where there are large amounts of organic material (trash) on the field.

Fitting of the extra coverage harrow:

The reinforcement angle (Fig. 76/1) is already fixed to your seed drill.

-. Attach the upper mounting brackets (Fig. 76/2) to the seed box.

The extra coverage harrow has to be bolted with two bolts according to Fig. 7711 to tht: carrying tubes (Fig. 76/3) and to be secured by iynch-pins (Fig. 76/4j.

The Swing metal buffer has to be fitted according to Fig. 77/2.

~- Now the carrying tubes (Fig. 76/3) should be fitted with pins (Fig. 76/6) to the upper channel iron (Fig. 76/2) and secured with lynch Pins.

In the operating Position, the V-shaped ends of the harrow tine elements (Fig. 75/1) should lay approximately horizontally on the seil. They should possess some 5-8 cm freedom of movement downwards so that they tan also function where the ground level

~‘n the ficld is somewhat lower. This working Position must be set up on the field by elther lengthening or shortening the top link.

There will not be any disadvantageous consequences, if it should be necessary in this regard to tilt the drill slightly forwards or backwards. Tilting the drill forwards or backwards has no effect on the coulter pressure because on the AMAZONE-drills the coulter pressure is independent of the coulter position.

The operating intensity of the harrow tine elements or the pressure which they exert on the soil, must be set according to the soil conditions by means of the central coulter pressure adjustment (Fig. 78/1). The setting must be done in such a way that no ridges are to be found behind the harrow.

For transport on public roads it is necessaty to slacken off the outer harrow elements and to push them inwards towards the Square Profile tube so that the maximum permissible transport width is not exceeded. The trank handle tan be used for slackening the ring bolt (Fig. 78/2).

20.2 Hydraulic pressure control of the extra coverage following harrow

With very changeable soil conditions it is practical to Change - together with the coulter pressure - the pressure of the extra coverage following harrow, too (See Para. 22).

With the same hydraulic control valve simultaneously with the hydraulic coulter pressure adjustment also the following harrow tine pressure tan be adjusted. For this purpose a hydraulic ram (Fig. 79/1) is mounted to the extra coverage following harrow. Then the pressure will be increased on the harrow at the Same time as on the coulters.

For the pressure control one Single acting control valve is necessary at the tractor. By inserting two pins (Fig. 79/2) into the pre-selection hole plate a maximum and a mini- murn harrow pressure is pre-selected.

61

Fig. 80

Fig. 81

21 Loading step

For easier access to the seed box for filling this loading step (Fig. 80/1) may be attached to an existing extra coverage following harrow.

NOTE!

The loading step may only be used for the re-filling of the machine. Never allow any persons to stay on it during the sowing Operation.

22 Hydraulic central coulter pressure adjustment

The seed drill AMAZONE DE SPECIAL may be retrofitted with the hydraulic central coulter pressure adjustment. For operating it, a single acting control valve at the tractor is necessary.

Si p;a.+y.g t-&,.r: .qin.c: (Fig. Ul/!) into the ram guide brackets, a maximum and minimum coulter pressure may be pre-selected. When the hydraulic ram is not put under pressure it rests on the stop (Fig. 81/2) at the lower pin. When sowing on the field at patches with heavier soils the hydraulic ram will be put under pressure and thus the coulter pressure is increased. The stop then rests at the upper pin. After the heavy soil patch has been passed, the pressure at the hydraulic ram is reduced and it returns automatically to the lower pre-selected coulter pressure. The minimum coulter pressure is achieved by placing the lower pin into the lower most hole.

For checking the planting depth it is required to drive about 30 metres on the field at that Speed which will be used for sowing later on. Thereafter check the planting depth.

If the seed has been placed too deeply, the coulter pressure should be reduced or vice versa. Without additional coulter pressure a too deep planting depth may occur on extremely light soils already by the own weight of the coulters. In such a case, the

“K” -coulters should by all means be equipped with the band-sowing shoe in combination with the extra coverage following harrow or with the depth limiters (see Options).

With the hydraulic central coulter pressure adjustment it is also possible to operate simultaneously on the Same circuit the hydraulic remote seed rate adjustment and the hydraulic extra coverage following harrow pressure adjustment.

The result of this hydraulic control circuit is, that whenever on heavier soils the coulter pressure is increased more seed is being sown and the extra coverage following harrow covers those patches with heavier soil more evenly with soil by increased following harrow pressure.

23 Trattor wheelmark eradicators

The purpose of the AMAZONE wheelmark eradicators is less for loosening the tractor wheelmarks but mamly for covering and levelling the tractor wheelmarks.

As shown in Fig. 82 the wheelmark eradicators are to be mounted so that they work in the loose soil approx. 5 cm right and left of the tractor wheelmark. This provides for the most effective levelling of wheelmarks obtaining adequate loose soil for covering the seed and reducing the risk of darnage to the track looseners due to stones being present in the compacted wheelmark.

Never mount the wheelmark eradicators as shown in Fig. 83.

The tractor wheelmark eradicators are to be fixed to the main square tubular frame se,-tion ,ccr< nn II 1 -( +L ---l drill. Tho tractor wheelmark eradicator tines may be mout- ed all across ihe main frame member. Additionally, the swivelable mounting enables any desired Point and setting to be reached even right next to the seed drill wheels.

After setting, the prismatic clamping piece of the marker mounting should be fixed with the three hexagon bolts (Fig. 84/2). The securing bolt (Fig. 84/3) prevents the possible loss of the wheelmark eradicator tines if the fixing bolt (Fig. 84/2) becomes loose, as due to the securing bolt (Fig. 84/3) these cannot fall through the fixing bracket.

24 Band-sowing shoes for “K’‘-coulters

Band-sowing improves the individual growing area of the grain plant compared with the ordinary row sowing. Therefore, yield increases result as against row placement of grain.

Comparison tests over many years with various Chambers of Agriculture. Agricultural

Institutes and Consultancy Groups have shown that yield increases of between 4 and 8’/0 may result as against the row placement at the same coulter spacing.

Procondition for the usability of the band-sowing shoe is a seed bed with fine tilth and a clean surface. In such cases, the band-sowing shoe (Fig. 85, Fig. 86/1) tan be clipped on the “K”-coulters and fixed with the pin (Fig. 85, Fig. 86/2) and secured with lynch pins

(Fig. 85, Fig. 86/3).

If these preconditions should not be available, i.e. on heavy, sticky soils in Winter corn, the band-sowing shoes tan be quickly removed again.

For the proper covering of the band-sown seed bed, the use of the extra coverage harrow (see Para. 20) is imperative. Under all conditions the extra coverage harrow works absolutely free of plugging up and, of course, also behind the normal “K”-coulters without band-sowing shoe.

24.1 Band-sowing shoe I

The band-sowing shoe I (Fig. 85/1) is used preferably on heavy soils. The wedge clears the band lurrow of clods.

24.2 Band-sowing shoe II

The band-sowing shoe II (Fig. 86/1) works especially weil on light and medium heavy soils. The tapered skid shoe compacts the sowing surface and reduces the planting depth.

25 Deep sowing shoe for “K’‘aoulters

For sowing beans extreme sowlng depths of between 6-8 cm are necessary. The deep sowing shoe (Fig. 87/1) is clipped on to the “K”-coulter in the same manner as the band-sowing shoe (Fig. 85, Fig. 86/1) and is fixed with a pin and secured by a lynch pin.

The deep sowing shoe has been used successfully on specially hard and cloddy soils.

On moist soils with much straw and root trash it is recommended to sow only with the front row of the coulters to achieve better Penetration, i. e. for bean sowing. This way, wilh the rear row of coulters soil is being thrown onto the slits created by the front row of deep sowing shoes as a coverage. In such a case the following harrow should not be usetl

When sowing especially large beans the additional use of special metering wheels and a bean agitator shaft is recommended as these two components secure a very even and gentle sowing of the large beans.

26 Sowing depth limiter for “K’‘-coulters

On very light soils it is possible, that the “K”-coulters even without the use of any coulter pressure, will be running too deep through the seil. This tan be avoided by the use of depth limiters (Fig. 88/1).

Also with frequently changing seil conditions, the use of depth limiters in connection with the central coulter pressure adjustment is practical.

On heavy soils the necessary sowing depth tan be attained by an increased coulter pressure, whereas the coulter pressure on lighter soils will have to be reduced.

27 Hectare meter

The hectare meter (Fis. 89/4) is mounted on the inside of the right side Panel below the drill’s seed box. For its function it is important that the chain from the drill wheel to the gearbox is correctly tensioned by the tensioning plate as this chain provides for the drive to the counter.

When retrospectively fitting the hectare meter, ensure that the ground section belt (Fig.

89/2) is fitted according to the sticker (Fig. 90) which is fixed to the transparent cover

(Fig. ß9/1).

By turning the knob (Fig. 8973j at ihe ieft side of the counter (Fig. 89/4) the hectare meter is set on “0”.

28 Bean metering wheel - Bean agitator shaft

The sowing of extreme large seeds such as thick beans may Cause some trouble to the

Standard metering wheel as the studs of the metering wheel do not resch down to the bottom flap in its Position “8”. As a consequence this would result in an uneven flow of seed.

Instead of the Standard metering wheels with fine seed metering wheels then the special bean metering wheels (Fig. 91) with elastic studs are used. These elastic studs are long enough to resch down to the bottom flap Position “6” and thus guarantee an even flow of seed. As the studs are elastic it is ensured that the seed is not damaged (planting

For sowing especially large beans it recommended to use a special bean agitator shaft

(Fig. 92). This bean agitator shaft is equipped with elastic vans, so that even at the necessary intensive agitating the beans are not damaged.

For fitting the bean agitator shaft the standardly supplied agitator shaft should be detached. For this remove the hexagon bolt nut on the right hand side of the seed drill.

On the left hand side of the seed drill the expansion pin should be punched out of the agitator shaft and the complete bearing should be dismantled. The agitator shaft bearing rn Ihe seed box centre should be dismantled too, and the Standard agitator shaft tan. after removing the seed level indicator, be taken out of the right hand side of the seed u111r D seed box.

The fitting of the bean agitator is done in the vice versa Order.

28.1 Exchanging of the complete sowing shaft

For a quicker and easier exchange of the bean seed metering wheels it is recommend- able to use a second metering shaft onto which the bean metering wheels are mounted in their required spacings. The divided metering shaft enables a quick exchange:

- The counter shaft of the metering wheel tramlining kit (if existing) is folded downwards after removal of the pulling springs (Fig. 93/1).

- The fixing (Fig. 61/1) which secures the coulter shaft against axial movement locks in a hole of the metering housing. This fixing is pulled out of its hole when folding downwards the counter shaft and after the metering wheel shafts have been exchanged it is returned and fixed in its original Position. The fixing (Fig. 61/1) is secured against axial movement by the set rings (Fig. 61/2) on the counter shaft.

- The pressure bearing (Fig. 93/2) is removed after detensioning the pulling springs.

- Slide the connecting bushings (Fig. 94/1) after removal of the hexagon bolts on the metering shaft and withdraw the metering shaft with metering wheels to the rear and exchange (Fig. 95).

The fitting is done in the vice versa Order.

29 Hopper insert boxes

The hopper insert boxes (Fig.SG/l) are designed to save costly seed in those cases where a smaller seed rate should be brought out at larger row spacings. Hereby also the remaining amount of seed which is left over after sowing tan be reduced to a minimum.

The hopper insert boxes are always installed in front of those metering wheel housings which are used for sowing of fine seeds. As it is impossible to fit the hopper insert boxes to the two extreme outer metering wheel housings, it is recommended to connect the seed tubes of the outer coulters to the second inner metering wheel housing. This rcquires to dismantle the telescopic tubes from the mounting rail. This tan be eased when the upper bellows are heated up by either hot water or hot air (i. e. a hair-dryer).

When sowing badly flowing seed it is necessary the hopper insert boxes to fit an agita- ilii u..ii_-r - . r,::..- i^ cr:- ^L^I? ders of seed are sown out of the hopper insert boxes.

Position the hopper insert boxes (Fig. 96/1) inside the seed box. Fix the rubber covering tongue (Fig. 9614) to the cover plate (Fig. 96/5) within and the fixing plate (Fig. 96/6) outside of the hopper insert boxes by flat head Ibolts M 6 (Fig. 96/7) and wing nuts (Fig.

96/8). The fixing plate hooks under the agitator shaft.

30 Seed box dividor plate

In slopy terrain the seed tan slide to the hill-down side of the seed box, so that the seed box is not filled evenly. This tan be prevented by the insertion of seed dividor plates (Fig. 97/1).

Thus also on slopes sowing of the correct seed rate is secured on all coulters.

31 Seed dressing attachment II

The AMAZONE seed dressing unit II (Fig. 98/1) tan be used for corn dressing using non mercury and mercury containing agents. Also powder tan be applied with the dressing unit II.

The unit applies exactly the required amount at a continuous even flow into the stream of corn passrng to the metering wheels.

The agitation action of the fast running agitator shaft is intensified by additional stirrer

Clips (Fig. 100/5). Hereby the dressing agent is “rubbed on” the corn. Esch agitating Clip

(Fig. 100/5) is secured by a Split pin (Fig. 100/6).

31 .l Setting of the seed dresser aj Removal of ihe shuiter piäies

Remove the shutters (Fig. lOO/l) below the metering housings (Fig. 100/2). Shutters shoüld no! be remo ved from the metering housings which are not to be engaged. b) Filling of the seed dressing unit

Here one must take care that the rubber agitator shaft (Fig. 100/3) is left in an upright or vertical Position in the dressing hopper for filling. After filling close the seed dresser with the lid (Fig. 100/4). c) Filling of seed box until upper edge of seed dresser

Fill the seed hopper with corn approximately up to the upper edge of the dresser.

Filling to a higher level will make it harder to trank the agitator shaft and may harnper the calibration test.

For setting the dressing rate the push rod (Fig. 9911) at the trank (Fig. 99/2) should be set according to the seed dresser setting Chart into the positions “0”. “A”, “B” or

“C”. In Position “0” the seed dresser is out of Operation. Positions “A” and “B” are medium positions whereas in Position “C” the maximum possible dressing rate is applied. e) Fine adjustment of the seed dresser

The further fine adjustment is done at the Swing arm (Fig. 99/3) as follows: Adiust the seed dresser 5 markings higher than shown on the Chart.

Example: Table A3 or Table A8

Setting A8

Setting B5

This overdosing is only necessary in the beginning to achieve a faster dressing. f) Setting the shutter slides onto Position “3/4”

Bring the shutter slides (Fig. lOl/l) into Position “3/4” even if in the setting Chart the

Position “open” is stated. Through the intensive agitating action of the agitator Clips

(Fig. 100/5) some corn may get discharged over the metering wheels without being checked. g) Calibration test

Place the calibration tray below the metering wheels and turn the seed drill wheels to deliver seed. Hereby it tan be clearly noticed how the seed becomes more inten- sively dressed. After dressed seed has left all metering wheels the setting of the seed dresser should be performed as recommended in the setting Chart. Empty the calibration tray into the seed box and now the actual calibration test tan be performed as described above. h) Filling of the seed box

These setting rates refer to rates prescribed by the manufacturers

31.2 Emptying of the seed dresser

For emptying the seed dresser the rubber agitator shaft (Fig. 100/3) should be placed in a vertical position. Undo the eye-bolt and turn the unit upside down on its own bearings.

Thereby remaining dressing material will be collected in the hopper cover (Fig. 82/4) and then tan be easily taken away by removing the hopper cover.

31.3 Checking possibilities of the seed dresser

In Order to operate the seed dresser correctly the following Points should be checked: a) Checking of the bulk weight

The volume density of non-mercury dressing tan distinctly vary from the average rate shown on !he chart cf page 76. Therefore it is advisable to check the bulk weight of the material. If it is found that there is a Variation between the stated weight and the weight given on the Chart, then it will be necessary to correct the setting.

Weigh one Irtre of dressing agent. If you state for example, that the weight is 10’/0 lower than shown on the Chart (Page 76) then you must increase the amount of dress- mg agent by re-adjusting the setting by 10’/0 for example from “A2” to “A3”.

-i--^:.vrr -: GL.- -- -r-r.-i.-‘r. ri.:t: -,n .2t thu swing urm jFig, C~g/3) for one number, for example from “A2” to “A3” or from “Aa” to “B 1” results in an increase or de- crease of the dressing rate by lO’/o.

At the two examples mentioned above the dressing rate setting is increased by lO’/o. if, on the other hand, the setting at the Swing arm is set by one smaller number, the dressing rate is reduced by 10°/o. b) Calibration test of the dressing agent

The highest security for obtaining the accurate dressing rate tan only be attained by a calibration test. For this the seed box should be completely emptied. By turning the calibration trank one tan state whether the dressing agent is being discharged correctly through all metering housings. After this trial, one must close all shutter plates

(Fig. lOO/i) of the dresser’s metering housings.

The same number of trank turns must be applied as when performing the corn calibration test. The dressing material will be controlled on the closed shutter plates

(Fig. lOO/l) beneath the metering housings (Fig. 10012).

Remove carefully each shutter plate (Fig. lOO/l). Care must be taken not to Spill any of the dressing material. Collect the material on a sheet of Paper and weigh it on a letter scale.

The corn calibration test has already given us the calibrated seed rate of corn. The required amount of dressing material resulting from the calibration test at correct settrngs tan now easily be calculated:

150 g of dressing agent on 100 kgs of corn equals for example: 1.5 g dressing agent on 1 kg of corn.

If, for example, the result of the calibration test Shows 5 kgs of corn, then the calibration result of dressing should show 5 x 1.5 g = 7.5 g dressing agent.

Correction of settings tan easily be made at the setting of the push rod (Fig. 99/1) and the calibration test be repeated.

32 Individual coulter lift support

If crops with larger row spacings are to be sown, i. e. with less coulters than they exist on your seed drill, those coulters which are not needed for sowing may be lifted off the ground and held in that Position by the coulter lift support (Fig. 103). This coulter lift support (Fig. 102/2) may be found by the coulter stilt bearing (Fig. 102/1). It is made of polyamide. To raise the coulter off the ground it has to be lifted to turn the coulter support to the rear (Fig. 103) so that the coulter rests in the lifted Position on it.

In Order to bring back the coulter into working Position (Fig. 102) again lift the coulter brrefly and fold the lift support forward; thereafter the coulter may be iowerea tully io ihc gioL1nd.
