4.1 Metering
4.1.1 Seeding shaft with seed metering wheels
The seed metering wheels are selected based
on the seed type. You can find the right seed
metering wheel to meter your seed in the seed-
ing tables in the Appendix.
Each seed metering wheel is made up of several
smaller units.
Example:
the coarse seed metering wheel G-G-G consists
of 3 coarse seed metering wheels G.
If it is necessary to exchange the seed metering wheels, the seeding shaft is pulled out of the metering
unit. The seed metering wheels can be individually exchanged on the seeding shaft. It is more conven-
ient to equip a second seeding shaft with the required seed metering wheels. Then only the seeding
shafts need to be exchanged.
4.1.1.1 Seeding shaft with coarse seed metering wheels G-G-G
The seeding shaft (1) with 8 coarse seed meter-
ing wheels G-G-G is used for seeds
with large grain size
with high spread rates, e.g. grasses and ce-
reals.
The coarse seed metering wheel G-G-G consists
of
3 coarse seed metering wheels G.
