6.0 TRANSPORTING THE OVERSEEDER
The user is responsible for the transport of the Overseeder behind the tractor when travelling
on public roads. Check the national traffic rules. In view of the weight of the Overseeder, a
maximum speed of 20 km/h (12.4 mph) should be observed while driving in open fields with
the machine raised. Higher speeds may endanger the driver and/or other people and even
damage the machine.
* When the machine is in the raised position, at least 20% of the weight of the
tractor should be supported by the front axle.
7.0 DRIVING SPEED
The driving speed is limited to 12 km/h (7.5 mph).
Higher speeds are not recommended in view of excessive wear and damage that may occur
to the machine due to, for example, rocks in the ground.
8.0 GENERAL REMARKS ON THE USE OF THE OVERSEEDER.
Some general remarks/tips on the use of the Overseeder.
@ A field can be tilled 2 or 3 times in different directions in order to obtain a higher
seeding density and for seeding in a diamond shape.
@ Do not make sharp turns, preferably drive in straight lines to avoid damaging the
machine and/or the ground.
@ When hitting a hard object in the soil, the cutting elements may be
burred/damaged. Try to file burrs away or replace the cutting element.
@ When the cutting elements become wet, the seed may stick and accumulate
between the cutting elements.
@ Make sure the cutting elements do not become wet or postpone the work.
@ NEVER drive backwards while the running wheel is on the ground.
9.0 OPERATING THE OVERSEEDER
Before using the Overseeder in the field, check the following:
1. Are there any loose objects in the field? Remove these first.
2. Are there any slopes? The maximum slope this machine can work on is 20
degrees.
Always work downhill.
3. Does the ground contain hard objects? If so, use the Overseeder at a low speed
and adjust the working depth.
4. Is there any danger of flying objects, such as golf balls, which may distract the
attention of the driver? If so, do NOT use the Overseeder.
5. Is there any danger of sinking or sliding away? If so, postpone the work.
6. If the soil is frozen or very wet, the work should be postponed until the conditions
are more favourable.
