- Check the tires inflation. Maintain the same pressure for both (70 psi).
- Verify the presence of any strange object inside the hoppers, that can damage
the metering mechanisms.
- Lubricate all the grease fittings appropriately.
Ideal Travel Speed
The planters COP and COP SUPREMA models operate with larger efficiency in
the range of 5 to 7 Km/h.
Note: PLANTING CORN, OPERATE IN THE RANGE OF 5 TO 5,5 KM/H. IT IS NECESSARY
TO MAINTAIN THE CONSTANT SPEED DURING ALL PLANTING OPERATION.

To obtain a population of 50,000 plants per hectare, at the harvest time, with
seeds containing:
Germination Index = 95%
Physical purity = 90 and
Slippage Index = 1.03 (3%)
the following calculation should be made to know how many seeds should be
distributed in a hectare.
Seeds/ha at the planting time = 50,000
= 58,479.5 x 1.03 =
60,233.88
0.95 x 0.90
To know the amount of seeds per meter, per 10 meters, etc..., calculate how
many linear meters of rows exist in a hectare, in the desired spacing.
Example: 10,000
= 11,764.70 linear meters, like this 60,233.88 =
5,1198
0.85 m
11,764.7
Approximately 5.12 seeds per meter.
Procedure Before Planting
- Before start planting, make a general inspection in the planter, tightening all
the bolts and nuts. Also, verify the conditions of all the pins and cotter pins, to avoid
future damages. Repeat this operation after the first day of work.
Note: - IT IS RECOMMENDED TO FILL UP THE PLANTER IN THE WORKING AREA.
- DON'T TRANSIT WITH LOADING EXCESS.
