Fine adjustment of bottom flaps. Kongskilde Profiline

Adjustment of following harrow

(Optional)

The folllowing harrow is mounted by fixing the arms into the brackets fitted on each side of the seed drill.

The following harrow can be set to light or heavy harrowing, or placed in transport position. See figure

3U.

Adjustment is carried out by turning the entire harrow on the draw bars. The required position can be secured by putting pins through the draw bars and flanges in the suspension.

The pins should always be retained by the „R“ clips.

The following harrow can be equipped with pressure tension springs such that it can be forced into the ground even in wet and difficult conditions.

Attendance

Generally

During operation check continously that no sowing coulters are blocked.

In order to avoid blockage of the coulters, it is advisable to only raise and lower the seed drill when driving forwards.

Regularly check the level indicator in the hopper to ensure that there is sufficient sowing material present.

Regularly check whether the actual sowing rate corresponds to the calculated rate.

Both before and during sowing work, attention should be paid to the following.: that that the lift arms of the tractor are in position control.

the tyre pressures on the seed drill are correct.

that the seed drill ’ s lid is horizontal when the machine is lowered to its working position - if not the seed depth will vary.

that the gearbox is in a good condition - gear wheels gear bearings.

that the oil level in the gearbox is visible in the sight glass.

that that that that that that that the chain drive is correctly adjusted.

seed rollers and bottom flaps are intact.

bottom flaps are able to move freely - this can be checked using a finger or a thin shaft.

locks for seed funnels are secured properly.

coulters are intact (not worn out).

the coulter arms are able to move freely and have the correct spring tension.

the marker position is correct - check frequently.

Driving speed

During the sowing work the speed should be 5-8 km/h.

In general speed should depend on the prevailing conditions and, in particular, oscillation of the machine should be avoided.

Emptying of seed hopper

The seed hopper is emptied by opening the calibration flaps as if carrying out a test sowing. The handle for the bottom flaps should then be pulled back completely such that any excess sowing material is emptied into the tray(s).
