Level Drill
Use the drawbar turnbuckle to tilt the drill so it is sitting
level. An adjustment may be required after a short period
of use because the paint wears off the discs and the discs
sharpen which in turn improves the penetration abilities.
Ensure that the front and rear rows are at an even depth.
Transport Position
When in the transport position the hydraulic cylinders are
fully extended.
Coulter Penetration Depth
To create the ideal seed bed the disc opener coulter
should cut approximately 20mm below the inverted
tee point. In hard and dry conditions this may not be
achievable, and better machine/sowing performance may
be achieved without using the disc openers. An indication
of this will be the machine bouncing which will result in
uneven sowing depth.
Coulters will give better penetration ability as they sharpen
with use.
