6.12 OPENING COMPONENTS
The depth at which the opening components are buried de-
pends on:
- The planting depth of the metering unit which has
the opening component assembled.
- The opening component’s adjustment.
ADJUST THESE COMPONENTS ONLY AFTER AD-
JUSTING THE METERING UNIT’S PLANTING DEP-
TH.
IN THE CASE OF NO-TILL FARMING, THE TUR-
BO DISC OPENERS NEED TO BE ASSEMBLED ON
THE PLANTER’S FRAME AND NEED TO COIN-
CIDE WITH EACH METERING UNIT’S SOWING
ROW. THE FURROW-OPENER BLADE NEEDS TO
BE ASSEMBLED ON THE METERING UNITS (see
sections 6.12.3 ADJUSTING THE FURROW-OPE-
NER BLADE and 6.14 TURBO DISC OPENER).
6.12.1 ADJUSTING THE BLADE AND THE
CLOD REMOVER
The depth at which the blade and the clod remover are
going to be buried depends on the type of metering unit:
ATTENTION: ADJUST THE BLADE 1 OR 2 CM
BELOW PLANTING DEPTH.
