Description of Machine
The Duncan EcoSeeder is a Tee-boot drill which can be operated as a trailing or a 3 point linkage machine. The seed box is mounted on a robust frame accommodating large diameter tyres for the arable situation. The depth of the ground engaging conponents on the 3 point linkage machine is controlled by adjusting turnbuckles fitted to each wheel leg. For the trailing machine, the depth is controlled by using the hydraulic rams and depth control collars on each ram. The quality European type peg roller seeder system handles all seeds from turnip and rape through to peas and maize. The seeders are driven from one of the groundwheels via a jockey wheel system and variable speed gearbox. For transport the drive is easily disconnected by raising the drill to its transport height.
Working Principle
The gearbox, pegged seed rollers and seeder flaps are set to give the desired seed rate. The coil tine and T­boot, create the seed bed. Seed flows down the flexible tubes between seeder and tee-boot units, and drops into the prepared seed bed.

SAFETY - General (Continued)
Appropriate Dress
Wear close fitting clothing and avoid rings or other forms of jewellery which could become caught in the machinery.
People with long hair must have it securely fixed and confined close to the head.
Refer to local safety standards for protective clothing and recommended safety equipment.
Adequate protection, such as a face mask, should be worn if operating this machine in dry and dusty conditions.
Transport This Machine Safely
Ensure that all linkage pins and security clips are fitted correctly. With trailing machines tow with the drawbar only, as this is the only safe towing point on the machine.
Always check that bystanders (especially children) are well clear (front and rear) before starting and moving the tractor and the machine.
Plan safe routes of travel, and be aware of power lines and other roadside hazards. Take particular care when towing implements on hillsides.
Do not ride or allow passengers on the machine.
This machine is not designed to carry passengers, and no riders are permitted.
Road transport
On public roads,
• A speed of 40km/h must not be exceeded.
• Do not operate during the hours of darkness unless standard lights are fitted and clearly visible. (This also applies when visibility is limited, e.g., in foggy conditions.)
See the guidelines in the Vehicle Dimensions and Mass Rule,
issued by the Land & Transport Safety Authority.
Avoid tip-overs
Avoid holes, ditches and obstructions which may cause the machine to tip over, especially on hillsides. Never drive near the edge of a gully or steep embankment - it might cave in. Slow down for hillsides, rough ground and sharp turns.

SAFETY - General (Continued)
Handle Agricultural Chemicals Safely
All farm chemicals should be stored, used, handled and disposed of safely and in accordance with the supplier’s/ manufacturer’s recommendations.
Read the product label before using, noting any warnings or special cautions, including any protective clothing or equipment that may be required, ie. respirator.
Do not eat or smoke while handling sprays, fertilisers, coated seeds, etc. Afterwards, always wash your hands and face before you eat, drink, smoke, or use the toilet.
Store sprays, fertilisers, coated seeds, etc. out of reach of children and pets, and away from food and animal feeds.
Any symptoms of illness during or after using chemicals should be treated according to the supplier’s/manufacturer’s
recommendations. If severe, call a physician or get the patient to hospital immediately. Keep the container and/or
label for reference.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Avoid any contact with fluids leaking under pressure, because the fluids can penetrate the skin surface.
Any fluid which penetrates the skin, will need to be removed immediately by a medical expert. Seek specialist advice on
this type of injury.
Relieve the pressure before disconnecting any hydraulic or other lines. Make all repairs and tighten all fittings before re-connection to pressurised fluid.
Keep your hands and body away from any pinholes or high pressure jets. Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard instead of using your hand directly.
Safe Work Practices
All farm machinery is potentially dangerous and should be treated with caution and respect.
Before starting the machine, ensure that all controls are placed in neutral and that bystanders are well clear. Check that the guards have been securely fitted and that any adjustments have been made correctly.
Where possible, disconnect or isolate the drive mechanism to the implement. Lower the machine onto the ground when not in use. Do not operate this equipment when severe weather conditions appear imminent.

Maximum towing speed 40 km/hr.
For countries other than New Zealand greater speed
restrictions may apply, please refer to your local transport authority.
Ensure towing vehicle requirements are adequate
for the towed vehicle e.g. mass, brakes. Refer to recommendations published by the local Land Transport Authority or equivalent.
Braking when towing can cause the load to jackknife. Use
extra care when towing in adverse conditions such as mud, inclines and sharp bends.
Lower towing speeds are recommmended on farm roads/
tracks and where one wheel is on or over a road verge.
15
Operation
General Operation Guidelines
1 Use a sufficiently powerful tractor which is heavy enough to tow the drill safely.
2 Operate the drill at a speed of 6-12 km/hr (4-8 mph).
In stoney and uneven ground conditions a lower speed is more appropriate
3 Check that the drill is level during calibration and while seeding.
4 Check tyre pressure before seeding. Refer page 5.
5 Double check seed rates before seeding.
6 Raise the drill out of the ground when making any turns.
7 Raise the drill out of the ground before backing up.
8 Stretched sagging hoses disrupt seed flow. Slight tension may be restored by carefully shortening
the affected hose; remove from the tube at ground level and cut accordingly.
Care must be taken not to shorten too much as the tension will pull the hose from the ground tube
or damage the plastic metering funnel.
9 After prolonged storage, check to see that all drive mechanisms and hydraulic equipment are functioning
correctly. Check that the seed/fertilizer tubes are not perished or blocked.
Sowing Speed
Typical travel speeds when sowing range from 6-12 km/hr in good conditions. In stoney and uneven ground conditions a lower speed is recommended to minimise rapid part deterioration. Sowing too fast can result in:
1 Poor contour following and uneven sowing depth. 2 Impact damage to:
a Ground engaging components. b Bearings, housings & axles. c Fasteners & structural components. 3 More extreme conditions will result in greater vibration
and uneven seed flow at low seeding rates.
Sowing Depth Control
The sowing depth is dependent on:
1 The wheel height in relation to the chassis 2 Tyre pressure 3 Ground condition i.e. hard or soft
Stop collars (1) are fitted to both ram shafts. Ensure that both rams have the same size collars fitted as these control the sowing depth.

16
Level Drill
Use the drawbar turnbuckle to tilt the drill so it is sitting
level. An adjustment may be required after a short period of use because the paint wears off the discs and the discs sharpen which in turn improves the penetration abilities.
Ensure that the front and rear rows are at an even depth.
Transport Position
When in the transport position the hydraulic cylinders are
fully extended.
Coulter Penetration Depth
To create the ideal seed bed the disc opener coulter
should cut approximately 20mm below the inverted tee point. In hard and dry conditions this may not be achievable, and better machine/sowing performance may be achieved without using the disc openers. An indication of this will be the machine bouncing which will result in uneven sowing depth.
Coulters will give better penetration ability as they sharpen
with use.

Basic Calibration Procedure
Gearbox Setting Lever
To set the seed rate at the gearbox, slacken the tri knob (1) by turning counter-clockwise and push from below into the position indicated in the Sowing Chart. Retighten the star knob firmly. When one box is being calibrated, set the other one to zero to prevent loss of product. Note that the front most lever (yellow letters on black background) controls the rear box.
Important
The settings shown in the Sowing Charts (kg/ha) can only serve as reference values. Deviations may occur caused by differences in the size, shape, density of the seed/fertilizer and
by the dressing agent. Therefore prior to any sowing, always
carry out calibration trials to accurately determine the actual seed rate.
Using the stepless variable speed gearbox, the speed of the metering shaft and thus the seed rate is set steplessly. The higher the figure indicated on the scale by the setting lever the greater the seed rate.
Setting Seeder Shutter Slides
The varying flow properties of seeds require different shutter
slide positions which may be found in the Sowing Chart for the individual type of seed or fertilizer. This corresponds to one of
the three settings as shown.
Bottom Flap Settings
The various seed sizes require matching bottom flap clearances below the metering wheel. The adjusting plate allows for 10 different settings. The required position for the seed type may be found in the Sowing Chart. The control levers are located on the LH end of the seedbox, (opposite end to the gearbox).
Number “1” corresponds to the minimum (closed) position and “10” the maximum gap.

Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued)
Seed Calibration
The calibration test should be done to confirm the required seed rate and is done with the drill stationary and level.
Seed/Fertilizer Calibration Procedures
1 Remove the calibration tray from the storage brackets
on the seedbox. Place the calibration tray (1) on the support members below the seeders .
2 Position all the clear plastic seed diverters (2) to redirect
the seed into the calibration tray.
3 Make sure all the shutters are open and set to the
position indicated in the seed charts for the particular seed (Page 17).
4 Agitator Shaft - Check the Seed Chart “Hints” whether
to connect or disconnect the shaft during seeding by removing the M10 bolt (3).
5 For the test, half fill the box with seed. If this is not
possible make sure the seed is evenly distributed within the box.
6 For setting method refer to Basic Calibration Procedures
(Page 18)
.
Note For seeds which are not covered in the Sowing Chart
(Page 17), use the figures for a seed of comparable size and shape.
7 Place the crank handle (4) over the hexagonal drive
dog on the gearbox input shaft and turn anti-clockwise until the seed flows consistently from the seeders. To ensure complete filling of the seed unit continue turning the crank until an even flow of seed is coming out of the seeder units, then empty back into the seedbox. The drill is now ready for calibration.
8 Turn the crank handle anti-clockwise the required
number of revolutions as detailed on the following page.
Note The Calibration is usually done for 1/40th hectare.
For very small seed rates or when using inaccurate scales (i.e. unable to measure to the nearest gram) the calculation based on 1/10th hectare should be used.
Scales must be accurate to 2 grams as any error will
be multiplied by either 10 or 40 giving inaccurate calibration results.

Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued)
Hand Crank Turns for Seed Rate Calibration
The tables represented below are for arable conditions (worked ground) and
are calculated to indicate an average situation. If there is any doubt as to the accuracy of these figures for the conditions, it is advisable to run checks on
the calibration figures listed. Refer Page 22, (Wheel Slip Deviations).
9 Weigh the seed collected during the test in kilograms. Caution: Scales must be accurate to 2 grams, as any error will be multiplied
by either 10 or 40, giving inaccurate calibration results.
10 Calculate the seed rate by multiplying the kgs previously collected x 40 (1/40th
ha method) or x 10 (1/10th ha method) depending on the requirement. If the resultant calculation does not produce the desired seed rate use the enclosed seed rate calculator disc to determine the correct gearbox setting.
Refer Use of Seed Rate Calculator Page 21. Suggestion: To be on the safe side and until confidence has been gained
with the method of calibration it is advisable to conduct a second test at the newly determined gearbox setting.
11 Where a coated seed is used it is advisable to check the calibration after
1 hectare as dressings can tend to create a coating on the seed metering wheels thus changing the the flowing properties of the seed which in turn alters the seed rate.
For 1/40 Hectare (250m2) Calibration
Seed Rate = Actual Seed Collected (kg) x 40
For 1/10 Hectare (1000m2) Calibration
Seed Rate = Actual Seed Collected (kg) x 10

Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued)
Use of Seed Rate Calculator
Determining the gear box scale setting using the calculator.
Usually the first calibration test yields a different seed rate. However with the value determined from the first test it is possible to determine the correct gearbox setting with the aid of the enclosed disc calculator. The disc calculator consists of 3 scales. An outer white scale (1) for all seed rates above 30 kg/ha and an inner scale (2) for all seed rates below 30 kg/ha. On the middle coloured scale (3) are all the gearbox setting numbers to a maximum value of 100.
Setting Example (Desired Seed Rate 125kg/ha)
1 From the calibration procedure at a gearbox lever setting of “70”, a seed rate of 175 kg/ha
is obtained.
2 Turn the inner disc until the measured seed rate of 175kg/ha (A) is in line with the related
actual gearbox setting of “70”(B).
3 Read off from the disc rule the necessary gearbox setting for the required seed rate of
125kg/ha (C). In this example the correct setting is “50” (D).
4 To be on the safe side the new gearbox setting can be checked by another calibration test.
22
Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued)
Calibration Deviations
Deviations Between the Calibration Test and the Actual Seed Rate
The most frequent cause for changes between the calibration test and the seed rate lies in the flowing properties of seed during sowing. These changes in properties generally result from reactions of the dressing agents to temperature, humidity or abrasion. These changes will become even more obvious when the bottom flaps are incorrectly set. If the setting of these flaps leaves too large a gap an uncontrollable additional flow of seed can occur during seeding; especially when assisted by the drill bouncing, a condition not simulated while conducting the calibration tests. For this reason the basic setting of the bottom flaps should be checked at regular intervals. Residues from the seed dressing on the bottom flaps and metering wheels can also influence the flowing properties of the seed and thus the seed rate. In such cases a balance will occur only after a period of time and it is recommended to repeat the calibration test to confirm the seed rate after 2-3 seedbox fillings, nominally when the seed box is half empty. Only then will a balance occur and the seed rate will stabilise.
Wheel Slip Deviations
It is always possible with rubber tyred drills in extreme ground conditions to get wheel slip. Not normally a problem with cleated type tyres in good condition, but more so in the arable situation with the less agressive tread patterns. The result: large differences between the calibration test and the actual sowing rate, obviously less seed deposited than required. The number of crank turns indicated on page 20 is correct in most circumstances other than those mentioned above.
To check number of crank turns for calibration
Should you require to check this in a practical way proceed as follows:
For an area of 250m
2
(1/40 Hectare), the travel distance for your machine is shown below. Place the crank handle over the hexagonal drive dog on the gearbox. Move the machine forward over the measured distance, counting the number of turns of the crank handle as you go. Using this number of crank turns repeat the calibration.

Basic Calibration Procedure (continued)
Sowing of Fine Seeds
For sowing small seeds the EcoSeeder Drill is equipped as standard with a combined normal and small seed metering wheel (1). During grain sowing and other larger varieties of seed both the large and small seed metering wheels are coupled and both rotate. In order to convert the seed drill to sow fine seed insert the crank handle and rotate clockwise until the holes
(2) of the small seed wheel are visible. Using the tool supplied (3) disengage the the pin inside the hole so that the large metering wheel rotates freely on the metering shaft. When seed is to be sown again using the normal metering wheel press the pin, using the tool, from the large metering wheel side (opposite direction to before), back into the hole of the small seed wheel thus reconnecting the drive between the two.
This must be done for the whole bank of wheels.
1

2
Caution - When resetting the metering wheels on the seeder shaft
Care should be taken when tightening the grub screws on the small seed wheel. Adjust the grubscrew until the movement of the metering wheel just stops, then tighten no more than 1/8 of a turn.
Do not overtighten as this can result in breakages while
operating and may void the warranty on these units.
24
Small Seeds Calibration with Disconnected Agitator Shaft
The small seed metering wheel used in Duncan Drills is especially well suited for sowing small seeds such as rape, turnips and clover. Due to the intensive action caused by the agitator the seeds can adhere to each other, or be damaged, causing irregular
sowing/germination. Therefore it is recommended that
when sowing small seeds, especially oil seeds and thin shelled seeds, the drive to the agitator is disconnected.
To do this remove the linch pin or bolt. (1).
Deviations between the calibrated and actual seed rate can occur when residual dressing agent sticks to the bottom flaps and thus slows the flow of seed. Before beginning the actual calibration test fill the calibration trays by turning the crank handle at a high speed around the 90 setting on the gearbox scale. This will cause an immediate buildup of the dresssing agent on the flaps. Return the contents of the calibration trays to the seed box and proceed with the actual calibration. Due to the residue buildup on the flaps your calibration will now reflect accurately the required seed rate.
Note - Remember to reconnect the agitator shaft as required
for other seeds otherwise the consistency of seed rate will be affected.
Sowing Peas
Peas having the size and shape as illustrated in A (e.g. White Field Peas), can be sown in all Duncan Drills with this type of metering wheel. The flap should be set to a gap of at least “3” on the flap setting lever (Page 18). With these peas it should not be necessary to run the agitator shaft.
Peas having the size and shape as illustrated in B (e.g. Green or Garden Peas), tend to bridge inside the seedbox and do not flow freely. This multi-faceted pea requires agitation for sowing.

Maintenance & Care
General Safety and Accident Prevention Advice
1 Make sure that if the tractor remains attached to the drill
that the ignition key is removed.
2 During maintenance the drill should be supported in such
a manner that if hydraulic failure was to occur the machine would still be adequately supported.
3 Wear gloves when handling components with cutting
edges such as worn discs etc...
4 Disconnect the electrical supply from the tractor before
doing any electrical maintenance.
5 Refer to safety sections for more safety information.
General Cautionary Maintenance Advice
1 Electric Welding - With the electronic equipment in
modern tractors it is advisable to completely disconnect the implement from the tractor, or at the very least disconnect the alternator before attempting any welding.
2 Hydraulics - Ensure hydraulic couplings (male & female)
are clean before connecting. Dirty couplings will result in hydraulic oil contamination and hydraulic cylinder seal damage and bore scores. This in turn will result in oil leakage past the piston seals.
No filter is fitted to the hydraulic system. If hydraulic
fittings and oil supply are not going to be kept clean it is recommended that a filter be fitted to prevent hydraulic cylinder damage.
3 Water Blasting - Water blasting, steam cleaning or other
pressurised cleaning processes can force dirt etc. into undesirable places that may cause damage or rapid part wear to items such as bearings, seals, chains, bushes etc. Caution must be exercised.

1. Bolted Connections
All bolted connections of the machine should be checked after the first 3 to 5 hours of operation and
retightened if necessary and thereafter at regular intervals. It is suggested that this is done every 500 hectares or annually, whichever occurs first.
2. Gearbox
The oil level in the gearbox can be seen in the oil gauge window. Changing the gearbox oil is
recommended once a year or sooner if the oil is discoloured. For draining, remove the drain plug at the bottom of the gearbox and the fill plug at the top. Replace drain plug before refilling
Castrol Oil Agri Trans Plus or equivalent* should be used. The total filling capacity is 1.25 litres.
DO NOT OVERFILL. *Oil Specification to meet the requirements of : SAE 10W-30, API GL-4, Massey Ferguson M1143,

4. Drive Chains
All drive chains (1) should be checked after every 20
hours of operation and weekly thereafter or after 75Ha of operation.
The metering wheels of the seed drill are driven via
roller chains from the drive wheel.
Cleaning of the roller chains is recommended annually
or pre-season and after long periods of operation. Remove the chain, wash in kerosene and then dip in heated grease or oil or spray with a suitable commercial roller chain lubricant.
5. Wheel Arm Pivots
Wheel arm pivots must be greased regularly (weekly
or after every 75Ha) to provide lubrication and flush out any dirt.
6. Tyre Pressure
The recommended tyre pressures may be found on page 5. Check the tyre pressure regularly to ensure correct pressure is maintained. Weekly checks are recommended.
7. Disc Openers
Front coulter bearings are sealed and do not require lubrication. Check discs for any lateral movement (wobble) on a regular basis. Replace bearings if there is any noticeable wobble.
There is one grease nipple on each disc opener frame pivot and disc assembly casting. Frame pivots should be greased monthly while disc castings should be greased daily to provide lubrication and to flush out any dirt.
8. Length of Seed/Fertiliser Tubes
These tubes can stretch over a period of time and require checking at approximately six monthly intervals. Shorten if necessary to avoid bends which
will restrict the flow of seed/fertiliser.
9. Framework
The framework structure should be inspected annually
for defects, i.e., cracks in members or welded connections. The framework should be cleaned prior to the inspection.

Maintenance & Care (Continued)
9. Bottom Flaps
The required seed rate is controlled by both the metering
wheels and the bottom flaps. The seed flows from the seed box into the metering wheel housings. Inside the metering wheel housing (1) the seed is caught between the metering wheel (2) and the bottom flap (3). The metered amount of seed is transported by the metering wheel to the edge of the bottom flap where it drops off into the seed guide tube which leads to the coulter. Varying grain sizes require the matching of the flap clearance to the different grain sizes. This matching is done by raising or lowering the bottom flaps by using the flap adjusting lever on the LH end of the seed box. If larger foreign particles, e.g. stones get between the metering wheel and the bottom flap, the bottom flap can give way downwards. A strong return spring (4) brings the bottom flap immediately back into the working position.
The metering system should be checked every 1/2 year
or before any sowing period with an empty seed box and empty metering housings.
Use the following procedure:
Put the bottom flap setting levers (6) (located on the LH
end of the seed boxes) in position “1” for the front box and position “1” for the rear box.
By turning the metering wheel shaft by hand check the
flaps are all set to a gap of 0.1 to 0.5mm.
To adjust individual flaps use the spring tensioning screw
(5) .
Note: Maintenance Schedule (page 30) Where the frequency is given in terms of use (eg. weekly)
or area covered (eg. 75 Ha) perform the maintenance task based on whichever occurs first.
Preparing the Machine for Storage.
Locate on a dry level surface. The machine should be stored wherever possible so the rams are not supporting any weight. The drive chains should be lubricated with suitable roller chain lubricant before prolonged periods of storage.
For longer term storage remove seed/fertiliser tubes from the boot assembly and allow to hang without deformation. Check tube lengths when replacing.
It is recommended that maintenance be carried out at the end of the season, giving sufficient time to obtain spare parts and/or carry out repairs if required.
