14. Turn the crank in times taken from the table
(Fig. 68).
The number of crank turns depends on the
working width of the seed rail.
The number of crank turns refers to an area
of 1/40 ha (250m
2
) or 1/10ha (1000m
2
).
Usually the crank turns for 1/40 ha are
used. At extremely small seed rates, e.g.
for rape, we recommend that you take the
crank turns for 1/10 ha.
15. Weigh the seed collected in the collecting
trays under consideration of the weight of
the bucket and multiply either by
factor ”40” (for 1/40 ha) or
factor ”10” (for 1/10 ha).
Calibrating for 1/40 ha:
Seed rate [kg/ha] = collected seed [kg/ha] x 40
Calibrating for 1/10 ha:
Seed rate [kg/ha] = collected seed [kg/ha] x 10
Example
: Calibrating for 1/40 ha collected seed
3,2 kg.
Seed rate [kg/ha] = 3,2 [kg] x 40 [1/ha] =
128 [kg/ha]
