Adjusting the placement depth on the RoTeC coulter

The placement depth can be adjusted in three stages 2. The higher the position of the depth control discs 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 optimum adjustment can only be determined during field operation. The greatest placement depth is achieved by removing the depth control discs or depth control wheels.

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

or

To completely remove the depth control disc or depth control wheel:

move the lever all the way down and push it to the rear in the elongated slot 3 until the depth control disc or depth control wheel can be removed.
  1. Set all of the depth control discs or depth control wheels at the same height or remove them completely.

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

    seed for approx. 30m at working speed and then check the work pattern, see Checking the placement depth.
  3. If the required placement depth has not yet been reached, the coulter pressure must also be adjusted, see Adjusting the coulter pressure manually or Adjusting the coulter pressure hydraulically.
