Any use beyond the one stipulated above is no longer considered as designed use. Themanufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage resulting from this; therefore theoperator himself carries the full risk.3. Under "designed use" also adhering to the manufacturer's prescribed operation maintenance andrepair conditions as well as the exclusive use of original AMAZONE spare parts is to be understood.4. The AMAZONE seed drill PNEUMATIC AD-P may only be operated, maintained and repaired bysuch persons who have been made acquainted with it and who have been advised about thedangers. Any damages or injuries resulting from arbitrary changes on the machine rule out theresponsibility of the manufacturer.5. All applicable accident preventive advice as well as any further generally accepted safety-, working-medical- and road-traffic rules should be adhered to. Furthermore any existing law regarding theprotection of crops as well as any safety advice on the machines' labels should also be adhered to.6. Please follow carefully all safety advice in this instruction book and on the machine.7. Unagreed modifications to the machine exclude a liability by the manufacturer for resultingdamages..8. Deviations of the seed rate or even total misses of individual rows cannot fully be excluded, eventhough we have produced the machine with utmost care and you have used the machine accordingto the intention of its design. Such faults can e. g. be caused by:- varying composition of the seed (e.g. distribution of grain size, dressings, bulk density,geometrical shape).- Drift alongside slopes or errors when travelling along the earlier bout.- Blockages or bridgings, e. g. by strange particles, residue of bags etc.- Undulations of the terrain.- Wear to wearing parts (e. g. metering wheels etc.)- Damage from outside influences.- Wrong pto speeds and forward speeds.- Wrong setting of the machine (incorrect mounting, incorrect determination of the gearbox setting).Therefore, check and ensure that your machine is functioning correctly before and during use.Claims regarding damage not occuring to the AMAZONE seed drill PNEUMATIC AD-P itself will berejected. Modifications made to the AMAZONE seed drill PNEUMATIC AD-P by the owner/user may resultin damage and therefore the manufacturer does not accept liability for such damage.In case of willful intent or gross negligence on the part of the owner or a responsible employee, themanufacturer is not exempt from liability. According to product liability law, this exemption also applies incases where liability is given for damage to persons or property on privately used machinery as a resultof errors at the AMAZONE seed drill PNEUMATIC AD-P. Neither is the manufacturter exempt from liabilityin the case of errors involving features that have been explicitly guaranteed not to fail if this guarantee isspefically aimed at covering the purchaser against damage not caused to the AMAZONE seed drillPNEUMATIC AD-P.4 - 4 Safety Advice4.5 General safety and accident prevention adviceBasic principle:Always check traffic and operation safety before putting the machine to operation.1. Adhere to the general rules of health- and safety precautions besides the advice in this instructionmanual.2. The fitted warning- and advising plates give important hints for sa safe operation; adhering to themprotects your own safety.3. When making use of public roads adhere to applicable traffic rules.4. Become acquainted with all installations and controlling devices as well as with their function beforebeginning with the operation. Doing this during operation would be too late.5. The clothing of the oeprator should fit well, Avoid wearing any loose clothing.6. To avoid danger of fire keep your machine clean.7. Before beginning to drive, check surrounding area (children etc.). Ensure sufficient visibility.8. Sitting or standing on the implement during operation or during transport is not permissible.9. Attach implements as advised and only to the advised devices.10. Special care should be taken when the implement is coupled to or off the tractor.11. When attaching or removing the machine bring the supporting devices into the correspondingposition (standing safety).12. Fit counter-weights always as advised to the fixing points provided for that purpose on the tractor.13. Adhere to the maximum permissible axle loads, total weights and transport measurements.14. Fit and check transport gear, traffic lights, warnings and guards. 15. The release ropes for quick coupler should hang freely and in the lowered position must not releaseby themselves.16. During driving never leave the operator's seat. 17. Mount the implement as prescribed. Moving behaviour, steerability and braking are influencedby mounted implements, trailers and ballast weights. Check sufficient steerability and braking.18. When lifting a three-point-implement the front axle load of the tractor is reduced depending on itssize. The sufficient front axle load (20 % of the tractor net weight) has to be observed.19. When driving round bends note the width of the machine and/or the changing centre of gravity ofthe implement.Safety Advice 4 - 520. Never stay or allow anyone to stay within the operating area21. Never stay within the turning- or swivelling area of the machine22. Hydraulic folding frames should only be actuated if no persons are staying in the slewing area.24. In the area of the three point linkage there is danger of injury by its squeezing and shearing places.24. Before leaving the tractor lower the machine to the ground. Actuate the parking brake, stop theengine and remove ignition key.25. Allow nobody to stand between tractor and implement if the tractor is not secured against rollingaway by the parking brake and/or by the supplied chocks.26. Secure marker arms in transport positon.4.6 Safety advice for implements mounted to the tractor's three point linkageWhen fitting the machine to the three point linkage of the tractor bring all control levers into sucha position that unintended lifting of lowering is impossible.2. When fitting to the three-point linkage the mounting categories on the tractor and the implementmust strictly be compatible or must be made compatible.3. In the area of the three point linkage there is danger of injury by its squeezing and shearing places.4. When actuating the control levers for the three-point linkage never step between tractor andimplement5. In the transport position of the implement ensure that the tractor three-point linkage is locked againstmovement to the sides.6. For travelling on public roads with a lifted implement lock the control lever against unintendedlowering.4 - 6 Safety Advice4.7 Safety advice for the hydraulic systemThe hydraulic system is under high pressure.2. Connecting hydraulic hoses to the hydraulic rams and motors according to the advice in theinstructions.3. When fitting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulic sockets always ensure that the hydraulicsystem on the tractor as well as on the implement is without pressure.4. To avoid wrong hydraulic connection, sockets and plugs should be marked (e. g. colour coded). Thishelps to prevent contrary function (lifting instead of lowering or vice versa) and reduces the dangerof accident.5. Regularly check hydraulic hoses and pipe lines and exchange if found defective. The replacementhoses and pipe lines must meet with the implement manufacturer's technical standards.6. When searching for leaks appropriate aids should be used because of the danger of injury.7. Liquids leaking under high pressure (Diesel fuel, hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and causesevere injury.When injured see a doctor immediately Danger of infection8. Before starting to do repair work to the hydraulic system relieve it from pressure by actuating thecontrol lever accordingly, lower machine to the ground and stop tractor engine.9. The period of use of any hose circuit should not exceed six years including a possible storing periodof two years maximum. Also when stored and used properly hoses and hose circuits do age.Therefore their longevity and period of use is limited. Deviations from the above may be acceptedby the Health- and Safety Authorities depending on the experience they have had and the dangerpotential. For hoses and hose circuits made of thermoplasts other guide lines may prevent.4.8 Safety advice for the operation of seed drillsDuring the calibration test pay attention to danger of injury by rotating and oscillating machineryparts.2. Use the steps only when refilling. Staying on the steps during the field operation or during transportis prohibited.3. For road transport the marker arms and discs must be removed.4. When refilling the seed box note hints by the implement manufacturer.5. Arrest markers in transport position.6. Do not place any parts inside the seed box.7. Do not exceed the maximum permissible payload of the seed box.Safety Advice 4 - 74.9 Safety regulation for operation with pto shaftsUse only pto shafts which are designed for the implement and which are equipped with all legallyrequested guardings (CE marked).2. Guard tubes and cones of the pto shaft as well as a tractor and implement side pto guard must befitted and kept in a proper condition.3. At pto shafts always see the advised tube is overlapping in transport- and operating position.4. Fit and remove the pto shaft only when engine is stopped and ignition key is removed.5. Ascertain correct fitting and securing of the pto support.6. Prevent pto guard from spinning by fixing the provided chain to a nearby static part.7. Before switching on the pto shaft ensure that the chosen pto speed of the tractor corresponds to theallowable implement input speed.8. When using the ground-related pto take into account that the pto speed depends on the drivingspeed and that the turning direction is reversed when driving backwards.9. Before switching on the pto shaft take care that no one stays in the danger zone of the implement.10. Never switch on the tractor pto while engine is stopped.11. When operating with a switched-on pto shaft allo no one to stay near to the spinning pto- or universaljoint shaft. 12. Always stop pto when it is not needed or when the shaft is in an adverse position.13. Attention: After switching off the pto the mounted implement may continue to run by its dynamicmass. During this period never come too close to the implement. Begin to work on the implementonly after it has come to a full standstill.14. Clean and grease the universal joint shaft and the pto driven implement only after the pto shaft andengine have been stopped and ignition key removed.15. Place the uncoupled pto shaft on the retaining device provided.16. When travelling in curves mind the permissible angling and length of sliding of the pto shaft.17. After removal of pto shaft apply guard cap onto pto stub.18. Immediately repair any damages before operation to avoid consequential problems.4 - 8 Safety AdviceFig. 4.1MD 082MD 083MD 084MD 078MD 095Safety Advice 4 - 94.10 Warning pictographs and hint stickers on the machineWarning pictographs indicate dangerous points on the machine.

When the AD-Pis being operated in combination with an AMAZO-NE rotary cultivator (KG) or an AMAZONE rotaryharrow (KE) with shift main gearbox (Fig. 11.1/1)the blower fan (Fig. 11.2/1) can be driven with aconstant pto speed via the shift main gearbox.Necessary for this is that the shift main gearbox isequipped with an angle gearbox (Fig. 11.1/2). Theangle gearbox is plugged onto the rear pto throughdrive shaft (Fig. 11.1/3) of the gearbox and has tobe secured with a washer (Fig. 11.1/4) and a clip pin(Fig. 11.1/5). Before doing this affix the mountingplate (fig. 11.1/6) to the gearbox cover by usinglonger hex. bolts (fig. 11.1/7). The hex. nuts (Fig.11.1/8) are used as spacers.Follow the safety advice according topara. 4.9Before you connect the pto shaft (Fig. 11.2/2) to theangle gearbox (Fig. 11.1/2):Switch off the tractor pto shaft, thetractor engine and remove the ignitionkey.Before starting bring the tractor pto speed to therequired 1000 R.P.M.:The blower fan speed then is3600 R.P.M.The speed of the blower fan can be checked withthe electronic monitoring controlling and governingsystem “AMADOS”.The V-belt drive (Fig. 11.2/3) is equipped with acentrifugal force coupling.Fig. 11.1Fig. 11.213245768123231Blower fan with hydrostatic motor drive 12 - 1Contents12.0 Blower fan with hydrostatic motor drive ...................................................................12 - 212.1 Blower fan speeds..........................................................................................................12 - 212.2 Hydraulics-circuit plan of blower fan with hydrostatic drive ............................................12 - 312.2.1 Comments re. hydr. circuit plan .....................................................................................12 - 312 - 2 Blower fan with hydrostatic motor drive12.0 Blower fan withhydrostatic motor driveFor driving the blower fan by a hydrostatic motor(Fig. 12.2/1) it should be connected with the tractor’shydraulics in accordance with the hydraulic circuit(Para. 12.2).12.1 Blower fan speedThe speed of the blowers’ hydrostatic motor can bechecked by the electronic monitoring controllingand governing system “AMADOS”.The required blower fan speed you may find in Fig.12.1. It can be set at the pressure limiting valve(Fig. 12.2/2).At tractors with controllable hydraulic pump (Fig.12.2/4) the necessary oil volume should be set andthe oil stream control valve of the tractor and thepressure limiting valve (fig. 12.2/2) should be set insuch a way that the oil volume is as little as possible.Larger oil volumes then necessary are led back intothe oil tank by the pressure limiting valve and leadto unnecessary heating up of the hydraulic oil.The blower speed is changing until the hydraulic oilhas reached its operational temperature. At the firstuse the blower speed should be corrected until theoperational temperature of the hydraulic oil hasbeen reached. If the blower is used after a longerperiod of standstill, the preset blower speed willonly be reached after the hydraulic oil has reachedthe operational temperature.?952794AD-P / FRS / FPSmax. 38003,0 m 2700 34004,0 m 2700 35004,5 m 2800 36006,0 m 2800 3600Blower fan speeds(R.P.M.)Fine seeds(Rape)Legumes(Grain)t691-gb14WorkingwidthFig. 12.1Blower fan with hydrostatic motor drive 12 - 312.2 Hydraulic circuit planBlower fan withhydrostatic motor drive1 Blower hydraulic static motor Nmax. = 3800 R.P.M.2 controllable pressure limiting valve3 check-valve4 tractor-hydraulic pump(the output of the tractor hydraulic pump mustbe in minimum 400 litres/min. at 150 bar pres-sure)5 free return flow- inner tube diam.

Therefore never connect the returnflow to the control valve (Fig. 12.2/7) but to apressure-less return flow with a large plug coupling(Fig. 12.2/10) Should it become necessary to in-stall a new return flow tubing, use only tubes DN 16(e.g. diam. 20 x 2.0 mm) and short return flow ways.The hydraulic oil must be guided through an oil filter(Fig. 12.2/6) at any place of choice.Fig. 12.2528641implement sidetractor side7109312 - 4 Blower fan with hydrostatic motor driveParticles of dirt can damage the blower hydrostaticmotor (Fig. 12.2/1) and the pressure limiting valve(Fig. 12.2/2). For this reason always keep clean thecoupling parts when connecting the blower hydro-static motor to the tractor’s hydraulic to avoid thehydraulic oil becoming dirty.Should it be necessary to drive besides of theblower hydrostatic motor yet another hydrostaticmotor both motors should be switched parallel.When switching both motors in line the maximumpermissible oil pressure of 10 bar will be alwaysexceeded behind the first motor.If the blower hydrostatic motor has to be connectedto different tractors, one should make sure that thetype of oil in the hydraulic circuits is compatible.Unpermissible mixing of various hydraulic oils maylead to defects on hydraulic components.The return flow hydraulic oil must never be guidedthrough control valves as the oil pressure wouldhereby exceed the maximum pressure of 10 bar.The check valves (Fig. 12.2/3) allow the blower fanto run after as soon as the control valve (Fig.12.2/7) has been shut off.The hydraulic oil must never get too hot. Large oildelivery amounts in conjunction with small oil tankspromote the quick heating up of the hydraulic oil.The capacity of the oil tank (Fig. 12.2/8) should atleast have the double of the oil delivery amount. Ifthe oil heats up too much, the installation of an oilcooler on the tractor by a professional workshop isnecessary.Seed box filling and emptying 16 - 1Contents16.0 Seed box filling and emptying ....................................................................................16 - 216 Filling seed box ..............................................................................................................16 - 216.2 Emptying seed box ........................................................................................................16 - 316 - 2 Seed box filling and emptyingFig. 16.2Fig. 16.116.0 Seed box filling and emptyingBefore filling the seed box couple the seeddrill to the soil tillage implement.First empty the seed box before uncouplingthe seed drill.16.1 Filling seed boxThe seed box can be filled from the loading platform(Fig. 16.1) .The seed box can be rain proof covered by theswivelable cover canvass.

The gearbox setting can then be increased.G46 Disc rule for seed rate calculationUsually one does not achieve the desired seed rate with the first gearbox setting. With the aid ofthe seed rate calculation disc rule (Fig. 21.12) is is possible to determine the gearbox setting figurewith the first gearbox setting figure and the calculated seed rate.G46 Gearbox gearAt unusually large seed rates and wide row spacings it may occasionally happen that with thegearbox setting number "100" the desired seed rate has not been obtained. In this case the "fastgear" has to be set. The procedure for this you may find in the detailed description under para. 21.2.? Seed rate remote controlIf the seed drill has been equipped with the hydraulic seed rate remote control, determine thegearbox setting with the pressurized hydraulic ram for the increased seed rate.After having determined the correct gearbox setting• place the calibration crank back into the retainer (Fig. 21.5 resp. Fig. 21.6) and secure by clip pin• fix calibration tray (Fig. 21.2/1) to the seed box• shut flap (Fig. 21.3/2)• Insert clip pin (Fig. 21.7/1) into the intermediate drive of the tyre packer rollerDetermining the gearbox setting for the desired seed rate 21 - 921.1 Determining the gearbox setting with the aid of the disc ruleThe desired seed rate usually is not obtained after the first setting of the gearbox. However, with the aidof the disc rule it is possible to determine the correct gearbox setting by using the gearbox setting figureof the first calibration test at the calculated seed rate.The disc rule consists of three scales: One outer white scale (Fig. 21.12/1) for all seed rates above 30 kg/ha and an inner white scale (Fig. 21.12/2) for all seed rates below 30 kg/ha. On the central, coloured scale(Fig. 21.12/3) gearbox settings from "1 to 100" are printed.Example:Wanted is a seed rate of 125 kg/ha.- At the first setting, the gearboxsetting lever is brought to the set-ting position "70". It is possible tochoose also any other gearboxsetting figure. In this case a seedrate of 175 kg/ha has been calcu-lated.- Align the seed rate 175 kg/ha (Fig.21.12/A) and the gearbox settingfigure "70" (Fig. 21.12/B) on thedisc rule.- Now read off the disc rule the ge-arbox setting figure for the desiredseed rate of 125 kg/ha (Fig.21.12/C). In our example that isthe gearbox setting figure "50"(Fig. 21.12/D).- Recheck the gearbox setting figu-re which you have determined bythe disc rule as described underpara. 21.0.Fig. 21.1221 - 10 Determining the gearbox setting for the desired seed rate34211Fig. 21.13 Fig. 21.141 1Determining the gearbox setting for the desired seed rate 21 - 1121.2 Setting the gearbox gear ratioInside the gearbox a set of exchange pinions is mounted by which two speeds can be set:Ex works the gearbox is set to the "slow speed" range. In case of unusually large seed rates and wide rowspacings it may occasionally happen that the gearbox setting "100" with the slow speed will not bring thedesired seed rate. In this case the "fast speed" should be set.G46 The "fast speed" should only be used if the desired seed rate cannot be obtained in the "slowspeed" range .Changing the gearing- Open the lid (Fig. 21.13/2) after removing the thumb nut (Fig. 21.13/3) and the two thumb nuts (Fig.21.13/4) .- Remove the pinion from the shaft and reinsert after turning:• in the "slow speed" the pinion (Fig. 21.13/1) is meshing with the second pinion• in the "fast gear" the pinion (Fig. 21.14/1) runs freely unengaged.- Put lid (Fig. 21.13/2) back in place.? After any changing of the gearbox into another speed range the desired seed rate shouldbe determined and set as described in para. 21.0.slow speed fast speed(see Fig. 21.13) (see Fig. 21.14)21 - 12 Determining the gearbox setting for the desired seed rate21.3 Seed rate deviations between the setting and sowingTo avoid deviations between the setting of the seed rate and the later sowing and to achieve a uniformdistribution of the seed to all coulters, please note the following hints:When sowing dressed seedsThe distributor head should regularily be checked and cleaned after every day of operation.When sowing moist dressed seedsThe seed should "age" at least for one week (better two weeks) after moist dressing and sowing, toavoid deviations between the calibration test and the seed rate.In case of wheel slipIn case of wheel slip the drive wheel (not at tyre packer rollers) for the metering units turns on very lightand loose soil less as at a same distance on very firm cloddy soils. In case of high wheel slippage thenumber of crank turns for determining the gearbox setting should be newly determined. For this onemeasures on the field an area of 250 m². This corresponds at a machine with2,50 m working width = 100,0 m travelled distance3,00 m working width = 83,3 m travelled distance4,00 m working width = 62,5 m travelled distance4,50 m working width = 55,5 m travelled distance6,00 m working width = 41,7 m travelled distanceThe number of crank turns is then counted when travelling the measured travelled distance. With thisnumber of crank turns then the gearbox setting should be determined according to para. 21.0.Setting the placement depth of the seed 22 - 1Contents22.0 Setting the placement depth of the seed.................................................................. 22 - 222.1 Setting the placement depth of the seedby the setting spindle .................................................................................................... 22 - 222.2 Setting the placement depth of the seedby a hydraulic ram (option) ........................................................................................... 22 - 322.3 Setting the placement depth of the seedby adjusting the roll disc coulter depth limiters ............................................................. 22 - 522 - 2 Setting the placement depth of the seed22.1 Setting the placement depth of theseed by the adjustment spindleThe coulter pressure and thus the placement depthof the seed is increased by turning the spindle (Fig.22.1/1) clockwise, by turning it counter clockwise itis reduced.In case the machine is equipped with roll disccoulters with depth limiters (option) and if the desi-red planting depth cannot be achieved by turningthe adjustment spindle (Fig. 22.1/1) all roll disccoulter depth limiters would have to be readjustedaccording to para. 22.3.1.The fine adjustment then is again conducted by theadjustment spindle.G46 The placement depth of the seed shouldbe checked after every setting accor-ding to para. 22.0For actuating the adjustment spindle (Fig. 22.1/1)the coulter pressure adjustment crank (Fig. 22.1/2)has to be plugged onto the square end of theadjustment spindle.The coulter pressure adjustment crank (Fig. 22.2/1)is placed in a retainer on the left hand frame part.Fig. 22.212Fig. 22.1122.0 Setting the placement depth of the seedOne of the most important preconditions for high yields is maintaining the constant placement depthof the seed.The placement depth is achieved by the coulter pressure. Your seed drill is equipped as standard witha central coulter pressure adjustment which applies an even pressure to all coulters.? Check the seed placement depth always before starting the operation:Travel with the seed drill on the field approx. 30 m with the later operational speed, check theplacement depth of the seed and readjust if necessary.The central coulter pressure adjustment can either be conducted by an adjustment spindle (Fig. 22.1) orby a hydraulic ram (Fig. 22.3, option) .The seed placement adjustment by hydraulic ram (Fig. 22.3) is recommended preferedly when havingvarying types of soil within one plot. It allows to control the coulter pressure from the tractor cab duringoperation when changing from normal soil to heavier soil or vice versa.Setting the placement depth of the seed 22 - 322.2 Setting the placement depth of theseed by a hydraulic ram (option)The coulter pressure and thus the placement depthcan centrally be set by a hydraulic ram (Fig. 22.3/1). During the operation the coulter pressure can beincreased in areas with heavier soils. The hydraulicram has to be connected to a single acting controlvalve.? The hydraulic coulter pressure adjust-ment is coupled with the hydraulic seedrate remote control (if existing). If thecoulter pressure is increased automati-cally also the seed rate will be increased.When supplied the setting mechanism is mountedto the seed drill and the hydraulic ram (Fig. 22.3/1)is connected to the connecting unit II” (Fig. 22.4/1),with which your seed drill is also equipped.Connect the connecting unit II to the single actingcontrol valve on the tractor.When actuating the control valve simulta-neously the hydraulic ram of the coulterpressure adjustment and of the seed rateremote control are pressurised.Ask people to leave the area of dangerDanger of injury on moving parts1Fig. 22.31Fig. 22.422 - 4 Setting the placement depth of the seedTwo pins (Fig. 22.5/3 and Fig.22.5/4) function as limiter for thehydraulic ram (Fig. 22.5/1) in thesetting segment.

Always check the planting depth of the seed before starting the operation: Travel with the seed drill on the field a distance of approx. 30 m with the later intended forwardspeed and check the planting depth of the seed and readjust if necessary.Setting the placement depth of the seed 22 - 5Fig. 22.722.3 Setting the planting depth of theseed by resetting the depth limitersof the roll disc coultersTo ensure the seed depth placement will be main-tained throughout the field even in changing soilconditions, the roll disc coulters can be equippedwith depth limiters (Fig. 22.7/1 [option]).When having ordered the seed drill with depthlimiters they have been fitted by the factory to aplacement depth of approx. 2.5 cm for mediumheavy soils (Always check the placement depth ofthe seed before starting the operation). For slightlyincreasing the planting depth the coulter pressuremay be increased according to para. 22.1 resp.para. 22.2.? Extremely high coulter pressure may leadto pre-mature wear of the depth limiters.If the desired placement depth cannot be achievedby changing the coulter pressure or if the wear ofthe depth limiters should be avoided by too high acoulter pressure, all depth limiters (Fig. 22.7/1)should uniformly be readjusted according to para.22.3.1.22.3.1 Fitting and setting roll disc depthlimitersFirst fittingInsert depth limiter (Fig. 22.8/1) into the hole provi-ded (Fig. 22.8/2) of the roll disc coulter and at firsttighten hex. bolt (Fig. 22.8/3) loosely.Setting the depth limiterReadjust all depth limiters (Fig. 22.8/1) uniformly,e. g. all pointers (Fig. 22.8/5) should be set into thesame position.

The number(Fig. 26.2/2) in the switch box indicates to thetractor operator the switching position of the switchbox. When the switch box shows "3" (see Fig. 26.1)the switch box shows after starting the operationthe figures 2, 0, 1, 2, 0 , 1 etc. When the switch boxshows the figure "0" the drill is creating a tramline.1Fig. 26.22Tramline control, hydraulically actuated (option) 26 - 3The spacing of the tramline depends on the switching by the switch box and on the working width of theseed drill.:Fig. 26.4The hydraulic ram (Fig. 26.4/1) inside the switchbox is operated by a single acting control valve inthe tractor cab. If the control valve is actuated onthe edge of the field, the switch box sprocket isshifted ahead and the next figure (Fig. 26.5/1)appears in the window.? The hydraulically actuated markers and the hydraulically actuated switch box for the tramlinecontrol are coupled to one another and connected to the connecting valve I (Fig. 26.6/1).If the control valve is actuated when turning on the headland, the markers are switched over andthe switch box switches to the next figure.When the switch box shows the number "0" the shutter slides inside the distributor head are closingthe outlets to the hoses leading to the tramlining coulters and the marker discs of the pre-emergence markers (if existing) are lowered.When actuating the control vavle, the hydraulic rams of the hydraulically actuated markers andthe hydraulically actuated switch box are applied with pressure simultaneouslyAsk people to leave the area of dangerDanger of injury on moving parts1Fig. 26.3Switching rhythmof theSwitch boxWorking width of the seed drill2,5 m 3,0 m 4,0 m 4,5 m 6,0 m Spacing of the tramlines3 9 m 12 m 18 m4 10 m 12 m 16 m 18 m 24 m5 15 m 20 m 30 m6 15 m 18 m 24 m 27 m7 21 m 28 m8 20 m 24 m 32 m9 27 m2 10 m 12 m 16 m 18 m6 plus 15 m 18 m 24 m 27 m 36 m 5 / 13 right hand18 m 5 / 13 left handFig. 26.5126 - 4 Tramline control, hydraulically actuated (option)26.1 FittingOn delivery of your seed drill the tramlining coultersare set to the wheel marks of your husbandrytractor and the switch box has been equipped withthe switching rhythm as ordered by you.The hydraulic ram inside the switch box is connec-ted to the connecting valve I (Fig. 26.6/1), whichyour seed drill is also equipped with.

Theseed drill operates during the first run on the field with half its working width. As it is impossible to operatethe seed drill AD-P up to 4,5 m working width with their half working width, the first run in the field mayalso start with the creating of a tramline (see Fig. 26.13):- Before the beginning the first run in the field, set the switch box to figure "O".- The seed drill always operates with the full working width.- During the first run in the field, fertiliser spreaders spread to one side with boundary spread disc orborder spreading devices.- During the first run in the field, one boom section of field sprayers will be switched off.Fig. 26.13A B C D2,5 m 3,0 m 4,0 m10 m 12 m 16 m1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 4,5 m 18 m 6,0 m 24 m1 2 3 0 1 2 3 1 2 33START240 0 00000G46 Please do not forget after the first run in the field to reset the fertiliser broadcaster or the sprayerto their full working width.26 - 10 Tramline control, hydraulically actuated (option)26.5 Hints for creating tramlines with 2-fold and 6-plus switching rhythmThe tramlines (see Figure 26.14) are created during one travel in the field to and fro.The flow of seed to the coulters responsible for creating tramlinesmust only be interupted on seed drills with• 2-fold switching rhythm only on the right hand side of the drill• 6-plus switching rhythm only on the left hand side of the drillThe operation has always to start on the right hand side of the field.The operation has always to start on the right hand side of the field.The operation has always to start on the right hand side of the field.The operation has always to start on the right hand side of the field.The operation has always to start on the right hand side of the field.Fig. 26.14A B C D2,5 m 3,0 m 4,0 m 4,5 m 10 m 12 m 16 m 18 m 2 2 1 2 1 22,5 m 3,0 m 4,0 m 4,5 m 6,0 m 15 m 18 m 24 m 27 m 36 m 6 plus3 4 1 2 3 4 10000000 000STARTTramline control, hydraulically actuated (option) 26 - 11Fig. 26.2126.6 Checking the function of the switchboxIf the hydraulic ram (Fig. 26.21/1) does not switchover the switch box, the following settings shouldbe conducted:- Apply hydraulic pressure from the tractor cab tothe hydr. ram (Fig. 26.21/1) .Before actuating the control valve askpeople to leave the area of danger- Slacken counter nut (Fig. 26.21/2)- Turn hex. nut (Fig. 26.21/3) to the left hand(counter clockwise) until the switch box audiblyswitches over- Turn hex. nut (Fig. 26.21/3) two further comple-te turns and retighten counter nut- Actuate control valve and check whether thehydraulic ram in the switch box switches to thenext sequence.13226.7 Setting the tramline to the wheelmarks of the husbandry tractorTramlines are marks in the crop in which no seed issown. The spacing of the marks The spacing of the marks The spacing of the marks The spacing of the marks The spacing of the marks has to be set tocorrespond to the track width of the husbandrytractor. On supply of the seed drill the tramline kithas been set to the wheel marks of your husbandrytractor.However, should it be necessary - e. g. whenpurchasing a new husbandry tractor - to set yourtramline system onto the wheel marks of the newtractor, the seed tubes (Fig. 26.22/1) have to beinterchanged for one another on the distributorhead. Thereby it should be noted that the tramliningcoulters are being fixed to such outlets which canbe shut by the shutter slides (Fig. 26.22/2).For creating a tramline up to 3 seed outlets pertrack can be shut off in the distributor head.G46 Seed drills with 2-fold switching rhythmhave to be equipped with tramlining coul-ters only on the right hand side of the seeddrill.G46 Seed drills with 6-plus switching rhythmhave to be equipped with tramlining coul-ters only on the left hand side of the seeddrill.21Fig. 26.2226 - 12 Tramline control, hydraulically actuated (option)26.8 Setting the width of the wheel marksIf it is wanted to change the number of tramliningcoulters, fit as many shutter slides to the distributorhead as tramlining coulters are required. The shut-ter slides interupt the flow of seed to the tramliningcoulters when creating tramlines.Mounting respectively demounting shutterslides:- Relieve pressure from hydraulic system- Demount distributor outer hood (Fig. 26.23/1),O-Ring (Fig. 26.23/2),distributor inner hood (Fig. 26.23/3) andfoam material insert (Fig. 26.23/4) .It is possible to fit up to 6 shutter slides. Always twoshutter slides (Fig. 26.23/6) should be fitted on thebase plate opposing each other. For mounting resp.demounting the shutter slide the shutter slide tunnel(Fig. 26.23/7) has to be removed.

Hereby yield increases resultif compared with row sowing. Many years of comparison tests by various chambers of agriculture,institutes and advisory rings have resulted in yield increases of between 4 and 8 % compared with rowsowing.Precondition for the use of band sowing coulters is a well crumbled seed bed. In such cases band sowingshoes (Fig. 34.1/1) can be clipped simply on to the K-coulters with the aid of a pin (Fig. 34.1/2) and a clippin (Fig. 34.1/3) simply to the K-coulters. For a proper seed coverage when band sowing, the use of theextra coverage following harrow is imperatively necessary.If the preconditions are not given, e. g. on heavy, sticky soils with winter grain, the band sowing shoes canquickly be taken off without tools.12Fig. 34.1The band sowing shoe I (Fig. 34.1/1) is especiallysuited to operate on heavy soils.
