Manual Zocon Z300 Seed drill
8. USE:
Set flow: the Z300 can be used with any drills or stubbles, it is necessary to have a
slope down for the rolls and avoid reverse slope.
Start with the N°1514 + green light.
The set flow is done by the handle button N°1512 on the electronic command box in cabin.
The blower works with the N° 1513.
At the end of the field stop the sow with the button in cabin N°1514 (let the blower works).
The Z300 is an electric tool, the flow is calculated by hour. Width work multiplied by the
speed equal to an hour sowing surface. Take the hour sowing surface and multiply it to the
weight per hectare.
Take the table set.
Examples:
N°1: sowing density 0.95: green rotor.
For a 6 row drill, width work 4.80 metres, distance between spreader plates 80 cm, and a
sowing speed of 4km/hour:
4.80m x 4 km/hour =1.92 ha/hour.
Weight per hectare wanted: 10 kg
Sowing surface: 1.92 ha x 10 kg/ha = 19.2 kg per hour.
Take table set, fit 19.2 kg = number
N°2: sowing density 0.95: green rotor.
For an 8 row drill, width work 6.40 metres, distance between spreader plates 80 cm, and a
sowing speed of 5 km/hour:
6.40m x 5 km/hour = 3.20 ha/hour.
Weight per hectare wanted: 9 kg.
Sowing surface: 3.20 ha x 9 kg/ha = 28.8 kg per hour.
Take table set, fit 28.8 kg = number
N°3: sowing density 0.65: yellow /stainless rotor.
For mustard sowing on stubble, width work 5 metres, speed of 7 km/hour for a 10kg/hectare
sowing. 5m x 7000m/hour = 35000m²/hour = 3.5 ha x 10 kg = 35 kg/hour.
Take table set, fit 35kg/hour 6 issues, number
N°4: sowing density 0.95: yellow /stainless rotor.
For mustard sowing on stubble, width work 6 metres, speed of 8 km/hour for a 12kg/hectare
sowing. 6m x 8000m/hour = 48000m²/hour = 4.8 ha x 12 kg = 57.6 kg/hour.
Take table set, fit 57.6kg/hour, number
Before any sowing, calculate the flow by hour, divide it by 60 minutes and check the
flow/minute before sowing. You can do the check in fix position with the seeds spread in a
bucket.
