Description of Machine

The Duncan Ag Vineyard Seeder is either a single curved disc or double disc drill with dual boxes for seed and fertilizer. The drill is carried and operated from the three point linkage of the tractor. The sowing depth control is achieved from two trailing wheels with individual wheel retraction stops. The right hand depth control wheel is also the drive wheel for the seeder unit. Awide variety of seeds can be sown from the seed box, from small seeds like turnip and rape to large seeds like peas and maize. The machine has a calibration system for setting seeding rates prior to operating, which is very simple and accurate to use.

Working Principle

The gearbox, pegged seed rollers and seeder flaps are set to give the desired seed rate. The disc(s) create the seed bed. Seed flows down the flexible tubes between the seeder and the coulter casting 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.

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,

• Aspeed 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. respirtor.

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.

SAFETY - General (Continued)

Practise Safe Maintenance

Keep the machine in safe working condition. Routine maintenance and regular servicing will help reduce risks and prolong the life of the machine.

General Maintenance

Accidents occur most frequently during servicing and repair. The following general rules must be followed when maintaining or working with machinery:

• All operating and maintenance manuals must be read

before and referred to while using or servicing any piece of equipment.

• Turn off all machinery power sources and isolate the

machine before making adjustments, doing lubrication, repairs or any other maintenance on the machine.

• Ensure that the machine hydraulics are disconnected from

the power source.

• Wear gloves when handling components with cutting

edges, such as any ground cutting components.

• Beware of hazards created by springs under tension or

compression when dismantling or maintaining the machine.

• It is recommended that you clean the machine with a water

blaster or similar apparatus before commencing maintenance.

Make Sure the Machine is Well Supported

When machinery is fitted with hydraulics, do not rely on the hydraulics to support the machine. During maintenance or while making adjustments under the machine, always lock the hydraulics and support the machine securely. Place blocks or other stable supports under elevated parts before working on these.

Electrical Maintenance

Disconnect the electrical supply from the tractor before doing any electrical maintenance.

Welding

With electronic equipment in modern tractors it is advisable to disconnect the machine from the tractor, or at least disconnect the alternator and battery before attempting any welding.

Use Only Genuine Spare Parts

Unauthorised modifications or non-genuine spare parts may be hazardous and impair the safe operation and working life of the machine.

Excess lubricants must be disposed of safely so as not to become a hazard.

Transport

1 Raise the three point linkage as high as possible to

maximise ground clearance. Ensure ground clearance is sufficient. Do not transport with the wheels in contact with the ground.

2 Ensure that all linkage pins and security clips are fitted and

are secure.

3 Ensure that the jack stand has sufficient ground clearance.

Raise into the upper position if required.

4 Ensure lighting and oversize warning requirements meet

recommendations published by the local Land Transport Authority or equivalent.

Maximum towing speed 40 km/hr.

For countries other than New Zeaand 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.

Lower towing speeds are recommmended on farm roads/tracks and where one wheel is on or over a road verge.

Operation

General Operation Guidelines

1 Use a sufficiently powerful tractor which is heavy enough

to operate 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 3. 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 Ensure the jack stand is in the raised position. 9 After prolonged storage, check to see that all drive

mechanisms and hydraulic equipment are functioning correctly. Check that the seed tubes are not perished or blocked.

Page 15

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 Dragbar spring pre-compression. 3 Tyre pressure. 4 Ground condition i.e. hard, soft, how even.

The wheel height in relation to the chassis is controlled using the wheel retraction stop. To adjust the wheel height;

a Lift the drill using the three point linkage sufficiently to

unload weight on the wheel.

b Loosen the M12 nyloc nuts on the clamp plate

assembly (1).

c Remove the R clip and pin (2). d Adjust the wheel retraction stop (3). e Refit the pin, R clip and retighten the nyloc nuts.

Refer Fig 1.

A more consistant sowing depth is acheived with minimal dragbar deflection. With harder ground conditions more spring pre-compression may be required. Adjust the M10 plain nuts (1) as desired. Refer Fig 2. Note, less spring pre-compression will allow the disc to ride over rigid obstacles, eg stones.

In bumpy or undulating ground conditions the drive wheel will drop away from the wheel retraction stop to maintain seeder drive.

Avoid sowing through dips with a rigid top link. Excessive loads will be transferred through the linkage stays to the wheel which may cause componentry damage. If possible use a floating top link. When sowing over ridges the drive wheel may loose contact with the ground temporary.

Disc penetration ability will improve as discs sharpen with initial use.

Basic Calibration Procedure

Gearbox Setting Lever

To set the seed rate at the gearbox, slacken the star knob (1) by turning counter-clockwise and push from below into the position indicated in the Sowing Chart. Retighten the star knob firmly (Fig 3).

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 grain 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 (Fig 3).

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. This corresponds to one of the three settings in Fig 4.

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 (Fig 5).

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 Calibration Procedures

1 Remove the calibration tray from the storage brackets

on the seedbox. Place the calibration tray (1) adjacent to the seeder units (Fig 6).

2 Position all the clear plastic seed diverters (2) to

redirect the seed into the calibration tray (Fig 6).

3 Make sure all the shutters are open and set to the

position indicated in the seed charts for the particular seed (Table 2. Page 14.

4 Check the Sowing Chart ‘Hints’ (Page 14) to see

whether to connect or disconnect the agitator shaft by removing the lynch pins (1) during seeding (Fig 7).

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 Procedure

(Page 15)

Note For seeds which are not covered in the Sowing Chart (Page 14), use the figures for a seed of comparable

size and shape.

7 Place the crank handle over the hexagonal drive dog on

the gear box and turn clockwise until the seed flows consistently from the seeders (Fig 8). To ensure complete filling of the seed unit continue turning the crank until the calibration tray is approximately half full then empty into the seedbox. The drill is now ready for calibration.

Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued)

Seed Calibration Procedures (Continued)

8 Turn the crank handle clockwise the required number of

revolutions as detailed in Table 3.

Note The Calibration is usually done for 1/80th hectare. For very small seed rates or when using inaccurate scales (i.e. unable to measure to the nearest gram) the calculation based on 1/20th hectare should be used.

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 at least 1 of the 2 checks on the calibration figures listed. Refer Page 18 (Recalculating the Constant) and/or Page 19, (Wheel Slip Deviations). Check and record which tyres are fitted to your drill, to ensure use of the correct Hand Crank Turn and Constant figures.

9 Weigh the seed collected during the test in kilograms.

Scales must be accurate to 2 grams, as any error will be multiplied by either 20 or 80, giving inaccurate calibration results.

10 Calculate the seed rate by multiplying the kgs previously

collected x 80 (1/80th ha method, refer Table 4) or x 20 (1/20th ha method, refer Table 5) 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 18 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.

Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued)

Recalculating the Constant

It is especially important in arable situations to check the rolling circumference of the tyre when in the cultivated area to be sown, and if necessary, to recalculate the constant and hence the number of

crank turns.

If there is a significant difference between the figure used for calculations in this manual, the constant should be recalculated and hence the crank turns for those particular conditions. Note: If a significant difference is found in the rolling circumference the H1 setting should also be adjusted on the hectaremeter.

1 To recalculate the constant due to altered conditions or specific requirements use the formulae

detailed in Table 4 or 5 (Page 17).

2 To obtain the rolling circumference of the tyre:

Half fill the seed/fertiliser boxes or simulate this loading. Mark the tyre of the drill at 90

to the ground and the point of contact with a mark on the ground. Move the drill forward 5 revolutions until the mark on the tyre is again at 90

to the ground. Measure the distance along the ground and divide by 5 to give the rolling circumference of the tyre.

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 ( Fig 9). 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.

Fig 9

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) (Fig 9).

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) (Fig 9).

4 To be on the safe side the new gearbox setting can be checked by another calibration test.

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 in Table 3 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 125m

(1/80 Hectare), a travel distance of

69.4m, 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 Fine Seeds

For sowing fine seeds the Vineyard Seeder is equipped as standard with a combined normal and fine seed

“Elite” metering wheel (1). During grain sowing and other larger varieties of seed both the normal and fine 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 fine

seed wheel are visible (Fig 10). Using the tool supplied (Fig 11/1) disengage the the pin inside

the hole so that the normal metering wheel rotates freely on the metering shaft. At this time it would be advisable to close any shutter slides not required for the fine seed sowing. When seed is to be sown again using the normal metering wheel press the pin, from the normal metering wheel side (opposite direction to before), using the tool, back into the hole of the fine seed wheel thus reconnecting the drive between the two.

Fig 10

Page 23

Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued)

Sowing Small Seeds

Calibration with Disconnected Agitator Shaft

The fine seed metering wheel used in Duncan Drills is especially well suited for sowing small seeds such as rape. 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 lynch

pin (1) (Fig 12). 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. It is advisable with small seeds to use the 1/20 hectare method for your calibration, thus cutting down on weighing errors.

Note: Remember to reconnect the agitator shaft as required for other seeds, otherwise the consistency of seed rate will be affected.

Fig 12

Caution: When resetting the metering wheels on the seeder shaft

Care should be taken when tightening the grub screws on the fine seed wheel

(Page 20, Fig 10/3)

. 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 render the warranty on these units void.

Hectaremeter Settings Setup

Refer to the installation and operation instructions supplied with your hectaremeter kit (1) for information on installation, calibration, operation and servicing (Fig 15).

Table 6 gives the effective working widths for the various machines depending on the machine size and the row spacing.

The calibration procedure described in the hectaremeter handbook involves accurately measuring the circumference of the tyre and entering and storing this value in the meter. The effective sowing width also needs to be entered. For measuring the tyre circumference and

obtaining the rolling circumference of the tyre

refer

Recalculating the Constant

(Page 18).

Note: If under certain operating conditions a calibration check indicates a significant difference in the rolling circumference of the tyre, the hectaremeter should be recalibrated by changing the H1 setting for the period of operation under those conditions.

Fig 15

Table 6

Basic Calibration Procedure (Continued)

Sowing Peas

Peas having the size and shape as illustrated in Fig 13 (e.g. White Field Peas), can be sown without problems with 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 15, Fig 3). With these peas it should not be necessary to run the agitator shaft.

Peas having the size and shape as illustrated in Fig 14 (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

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 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.

3 Box set lifting eye profile - these profiles are are provided

for easy removal of the dual boxes from the pedestals. Do

not use when boxes are loaded nor to lift the machine.

Maintenance & Care

Lubrication Instructions

Your new Duncan Ag Vineyard Seeder will give long and efficient service if given normal care and maintained properly

Lubrication Precautions

Keep the service area clean and dry. Only service or lubricate the machine

when it is stationary and securely supported.

Precautions with Grease

Grease nipples and the grease gun should be carefully cleaned before use to prevent dirt being forced into the bearings.

Dirty grease should be forced from the bushes and disposed of safely.

Greases should not be mixed as the structure may be weakened by the mixing of different types of thickener, which may cause softening and loss of grease from the bearings by running out.

Maintenance & Care

1 Bolted Connections

All bolted connections of the machine should be checked after the first 30 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 (1). Changing the gearbox oil is normally not necessary. For refilling the oil remove the 1/2” BSP plug on the top face of the gearbox (2), Castrol Oil Agri Trans Plus should be used. The total filling capacity is 1.25 litres (refer Fig 18).

DO NOT OVERFILL.

3 Roller Chains

Pedestal and agitator drive chains (1) Fig 19 & (2) Fig 21 should first be checked after 20 hours of operation and thereafter every 200 hours of operation as follows:Remove the chain, wash in kerosene and then dip them in heated grease or oil or spray them with a suitable commercial roller chain lubricant.

4 Drive Cassettes

Drive cassettes (2) Fig 19 are fully enclosed and therefore dirt build up around the chain is less likely . Apre-season internal inspection of the drive cassttes is recommended to ensure the chain and sprockets are in good working order. The drive cassettes pivots should be greased weekly to keep the plastic bushes and housings lubricated. Regular greasing will also flush out contaminants from the running surfaces.

5 Wheel Leg Pivots

Wheel leg pivots (2 per machine) must be greased regularly (weekly or after 75Ha) to provide lubrication and flush out any contaiminants.

6 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.

7 Type Pressure

The recommended tyre pressure is 2.4 bar (35 psi). Check the tyre pressure regularly to ensure correct pressure is maintained. Weekly checks are recommended.

8 Length of Seed/Fertiliser Tubes

These tubes can stretch over a period of time and require checking at approximately six monthly intervals (preseaon). Shorten if necessary to avoid bends which will restrict the flow of seed/fertiliser.

Fig 19

Page 31

Maintenance & Care

Maintenance Schedule (Continued)

9 Bottom Flaps (Fig 20)

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. Astrong 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 (1) (located on the LH end of the seed boxes) in position “1” for the front box and position “1” for the rear box. Refer Fig 21.

By turning the metering wheel shaft by hand check the flaps are all set to a gap of 0.1 to 0.5mm (refer Fig 20).

To adjust individual flaps use the spring tensioning screw (5) (Fig 20).

Storage

Preparing the Machine for Storage.

Locate on a dry level surface. The machine should be stored wherever possible with the rams retracted (where fitted). 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 coulters 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.
