Adjusting the coulter pressure

Operating condition

Coulter pressure

Heavy soils

Increase coulter pressure: +

Light soils

Reduce coulter pressure: -

When the coulter pressure control is used, the status bar shows a percentage value. If the actual value deviates from the setpoint, the coulter pressure will be highlighted in yellow.

When SmartForce is used, the Work menu shows the additional weight in kilograms.

  1. To increase the coulter pressure:

    In the Work menu, select .

  2. To reduce the coulter pressure:

    In the Work menu, select .

  3. To check the adjustment:

    Sow 30 m at working speed. Check the work pattern.

  4. If operating conditions do not enable uniform placement depth with SmartForce:

    Use coulter pressure control, Configuring coulter pressure monitoring.

  5. If the coulter pressure is not sufficient:

    Deactivate the coulter pressure limit, Configuring coulter pressure monitoring.
