Adjusting the placement depth on the RoTeC coulter

The placement depth can be adjusted in 3 levels 2. The higher the position of the depth control disks or depth control wheels, the greater the placement depth. The adjustment of the seed placement depth must be adapted to the respective operating conditions. The optimal adjustment can only be determined in field operation. The greatest placement depth is achieved by removing the depth control disks or depth control wheels.

  1. Pull on the lever 1 for the depth control disk or depth control wheel, move it up or down and let it engage in the desired position.

or

To completely take off the depth control disk or depth control wheel:

Move the lever all the way down and push it to the rear in the slotted hole 3 until the depth control disk or depth control wheel can be removed.
  1. Set all of the depth control disks or depth control wheels to the same height or take them off completely.

  2. To check the adjustment of the placement depth on the field:

    Sow for approx. 98,43 ft (30m) at working speed and then check the work pattern, see Checking the placement depth.
  3. If the desired placement depth has not yet been reached, the coulter pressure must also be adjusted, see Manual coulter pressure adjustment or Hydraulic coulter pressure adjustment.
