4. Assembly and function
The following chapter informs you about the assembly of the Cirrus packer coulter
sowing combination and the function of its individual components
Fig. 48
Cirrus packer coulter sowing systems allow sowing with or without prior soil cultivation
in one operational pass.
The disc cultivator (Fig. 48/1) allows mulch sowing and conventional sowing following
the plough.
The wedge ring roller (Fig. 48/2) reconsolidates the worked soil in strips.
The seed is transported in the seed hopper (Fig. 48/3) .
The metering system (Fig. 48/4), driven by the star wheel (Fig. 48/5) or an electric
motor, delivers the pre-set amount of seed into the air flow provided by the fan (Fig.
48/6).
The air flow delivers the seed to the distributor head (Fig. 48/7), that evenly distributes
the seed to all packer coulters (Fig. 48/8).
The seed is placed into the re-consolidated strip and covered with loose soil by the
extra coverage following harrow (Fig. 48/9).
The track markers (Fig. 48/10) mark the next bout in the tractor's centre.
Machines from 4 m working width can be folded in to a 3 m transport width.
