ADJUST GROUND SPEED Liquid Fertilizer Applicator A10 / A13 / A18 / A24 Page 60
ADJUST GROUND SPEED
It will be necessary to establish a travel
speed and then set the flow to give the
desired application rate. Always run at the
established travel speed.
However, the best results are obtained when
the ground speed is 8 - 13 kph (5 - 8 mph).
Ground speed variations in the field will
automatically be compensated.
Always operate at a comfortable speed. Do
not operate so quickly that the toolbar, trailer,
or tank bounces while going through the
field.
Effective results require that liquid be applied
at a consistent depth in a consistent manner.
Machine bouncing will prevent this required
consistency.
Inspect Coulters
Figure 13: Coulter with Injector
Figure 14: Coulter with Knife
Coulters are used to cut crop residue on the
surface, penetrate the ground, and part the
soil to accept liquid from the nozzle. Coulter
depth is controlled by spacers on the lift
cylinder rams and gauge wheel positions.
Inspect coulters frequently if operating in
rocky conditions. Bent, chipped, or broken
coulters will not penetrate the soil properly.
Always remove entangled material from any
component.
