Adjusting the coulter pressure

Operating conditions

Coulter pressure

Heavy soils

Increase the coulter pressure: +

Light soils

Reduce the coulter pressure: -

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

When the 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 setting:

    Spread seed for 30 m at working speed. Check the work pattern.

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

    Use the coulter pressure control, Configuring the coulter pressure monitoring.

  5. If the coulter pressure is not sufficient:

    Deactivate the coulter pressure limitation, Configuring the coulter pressure monitoring.
