Description of Machine
The Duncan ‘Renovator AS3000/3500’ is a Coil Tine T­boot drill. The large split hopper is mounted on a robust frame accommodating large diameter tyres. Sowing depth is controlled by adjusting the hydraulic ram as required. The quality European air metering units handle all seeds from turnip and rape through to peas and maize and permits easy calibration. The seeders are driven via a jockey wheel with individually selected high or low ranges. For transport, the drive is easily disconnected by raising the drill to its transport height.
Working Principle
The air flow and metering units are set to give the desired sowing and/or fertilizer 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. Optional tine harrows and following roller enhance seed to soil contact.

Important - To avoid machine damage due to drill
lowering during transport, always close the hydraulic valve on the drawbar. Move the handle to a position at 90
0
to the hydraulic line. This applies to the drawbar and disc opener hydraulic valves where fitted.
3 Locate jack stand in transport position, if fitted.4
Ensure lighting and oversize warning requirements meet recommendations published by the local Land Transport Authority or equivalent.
5
Maximum towing speed 40 km/hr.
For countries other than New Zealand other 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.
6
Attach safety chains to tractor. Refer Fig 3.
Safety chains must be crossed over underneath the
coupling and attached to the towing vehicle. The attachment points must be as close as practical to the towing coupling and one each side.The towbar on the
towing vehicle must be rated for the towed mass. Do not
remove or replace the safety chains provided with any other than those specified in the parts manual.
Note: The safety chains are provided with sufficient
length to cater for all towing vehicles. Safety chains must be shortened by cutting off excess length so that if the coupling fails the drawbar will not hit the ground.
7 If the machine is fitted with row markers or other vertical
extensions, check clearance under power lines en route.
8 Important - For greater disc opener ground clearance,
adjust the ram or turnbuckle on the disc opener unit so they are at maximum height, and/or extend the drawbar ram or turnbuckle to level the machine chassis.

‘Renovator AS3000/3500’ Calibration
Seed Calibration
The calibration test should be done to confirm the settings of the required seed rate and is done with the drill stationary and level with the fan off. The metering units must be set prior to filling with seed.
Seed Calibration Procedures
1 Ensure that the metering unit is free from debris. Close
the trap-door.
2 Fill the appropriate bin. A minimum depth of 300mm is
required for calibration with normal seeds.
3 Release the elbows from under the metering housings
by unscrewing the wing nut and swinging the keeper out of the way. Move the elbow to one side.
4 Unhook the calibration tray from the rear of the machine,
locate it on the guides and slide the tray under the bin outlets.
5 The bins are calibrated one-at-a-time; on the drive
pedestal (outboard) end, remove the lynch pin and disconnect the unused driveshaft. Attach the end to the dummy shaft provided on the pedestal.
6 Place the crank handle over the hexagonal drive dog
turn anti-clockwise until the seed flows consistently.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 into the seedbox. The drill is now ready for calibration.
8 Refer to the table on the next page and turn the crank
handle anticlockwise the number of turns for your machine.
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. ie: In the case of a 24R 3.0m machine, turn the crank handle 122 turns.
Scales must be accurate to 2 grams as any error will
be multiplied by either 10 or 40 giving inaccurate calibration results.
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
18
Hand Crank Turns for Seed Rate Calibration
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.
The seed rate should be correct. Large differences should be checked by
recalibration. If there are still large errors, empty the seed bin, check the metering housings for wear or damage and start again from the pre-calibration setup.
11 Small errors, due to seed coatings or seed sizes may be corrected by
adjusting the metering unit as follows:-
>Check and write down the actual metering setting on the metering unit. >Write down the actual seeding rate that you calculated. >Write down the required seeding rate (the number you expected from the
calculation).
Calculate the error and correction as follows:-
12 If the actual seeding rate that you calculated is smaller than the required
seeding rate then increase the metering setting by the correction amount.
13 Conversely, reduce the metering setting by the correction amount if the
observed or actual seeding rate is more than the required seeding rate.
Care must be taken when the metering setting is significantly reduced as
the unit can be damaged. If any resistance is felt, rotate the jockey wheel when adjusting the settings down. If the toggle is set to ‘fine’ and the settings needs to be reduced very low, empty the bin and start again.
14 Recalibrate from step 6. 15 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.

‘Renovator AS3000/3500’ Calibration
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.
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.
