Determination of the fan type

Working width of the machine Type of the sowing unit
 2,1 - 6 metres with double electric fan, 8 outputs
 2,1 - 7 metres with hydraulic fan, 8 outputs (optional)
 7 - 12 metres with hydraulic fan, 16 outputs (optional)

 

Dosage of seeds

The seed is dosed using the sowing shaft located directly under the hopper. Prior to filling the hopper with the seed, a proper sowing shaft must be selected (coarse, fine). The proper selection is performed according to the seed properties and according to the delivered amount. The standard equipment of the machine includes two types of rollers – for fine seed (mustard, buckwheat) and for coarse seed (cereals, grass).
