Adjusting the depth control wheels or depth control discs

The placement depth can be adjusted in four stages 2. The higher the position of the depth control discs or depth control wheels, the greater the placement depth. The greatest placement depth is achieved when the depth control discs or depth control wheels are removed, see Removing the depth control wheels or depth control discs.

NOTE
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.
  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
  2. Set all of the depth control discs or depth control wheels at the same height.

  3. To check the adjustment of the placement depth on the field,

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