1. Press the button
the machine is switched on
the LED above the button lights up
The display shows the previously set sowing shaft speed (in %).
The sowing shaft motor and blower fan motor do not rotate.
6.5 Determining the sowing shaft speed for the first calibration test
Read the sowing shaft speed for the first calibration test from the sowing table (see Appendix). In the
sowing table, the desired spread rate is specified in kg/min. This value indicates the weight [kg] of the
seed that is spread per minute [min.].
Use the following formula to convert the desired spread rate [kg/ha] into spread rate [kg/min.].
spread rate [kg/ha] x tractor speed [km/h] x working width [m]
spread rate [kg/min.]
=
600
Example:
Seed:.......................................................rape
Required spread rate ................... 20.2 [kg/ha]
Tractor speed ..........................................12.0 [km/h]
Working width ............................................4.0 [m]
20.2 [kg/ha] x 12.0 [km/h] x 4.0 [m]
Spread rate [kg/min.] =
600
= 1.62 [kg/min.]
Refer to the sowing table for the sowing shaft speed for the first calibration test.
Seed:...................................................... rape
Sowing shaft with seed wheels:............... fb-f-fb-fb
Spread rate............................................. 1.617 [kg/min]
Sowing shaft speed .............................. 50 [%]
The sowing table values are guide values which may change due to
grain shape, grain size, thousand-seed weight and dressing. The
exact sowing shaft speed for the required spread rate is derived from
the values of the calibration tests.
