7.7 Working widths seeding tables
The PS 800 M1 can be used for working widths up to max. 12 m.
CAUTION: it must be ensured that the tractor is capable of providing enough hydraulic
power for the blower fan. Otherwise, the hoses can be displaced towards the baffle plates
and cause damage to the implement!
The spread rate depends on the speed of the meter roll and the forward speed when
operating with sensors. To determine the desired spread rate, you should perform a
calibration test before beginning work.
The seeding tables show the spread rate for the respective seed types in kilogrammes per
minute (= spread rate of the calibration test).
CAUTION: The seeding tables are based on 16 outlets with the same equipment!
If you are using e.g. only 12 outlets instead of the 16 outlets, the calibrated quantity is
reduced accordingly.
NOTE: These tables can be used as reference values, however, they cannot be used in
the same way everywhere, as many factors play a role or there may be significant
changes (e.g.: thousand grain weight, moisture in the seed, change in the flow behaviour,
and much more).
The spread rate is calculated with the following formula:
Example:
[kg/min] 1,2
600
[m] 12[km/h] 12[kg/ha] 5
