➜Lubricate all rotating parts except the seed roller.
➜ The brush, the guide plate, the spongy rubber of the transmission wheel
and the spongy rubber of the compaction wheel are consumables.
Check them regularly and replace as necessary.
➜ Make sure the seedbed is uniform.
➜ Check whether the seed roller is caked in dirt, pesticides or seed
casing residues. If it is, it should be cleaned.
➜ Prepare a seedbed by carefully hoeing and levelling.
➜ When you sow beans or grains, a bypass can occur in the seed
hopper. In this case, gently tap the hopper and fill the hopper
half full instead.
➜ When you disassemble the sower, make sure the free roller
is not caked in dirt, etc. ...
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
➜BRUSH: In its default position, the brush lightly touches the seed roller.
To increase the volume of seeds, put the brush in a high position
(loosen the wing nut and lift the brush).
If you use coated seed: The brush should touch the seeds, and exercise slight
pressure on them. It is necessary to find the right adjustment for your seeds, because
if the brush is too low, it will wear very (too) quickly. If it is too high, the seeds will
break.
➜GUIDE PLATE: The guide plate forms
a cavity between the roller, the brush
and the guide plate.
Without this space, the seeds might break.
The end of the guide plate
must be in close contact with the roller.
If the guide plate becomes misaligned,
you can realign it using the diagram opposite.
In a general way, guide plate should be removed
as soon as the brush is raised.
➜SEEDING DISTANCES: The distances between the seeding can be adjusted by
adjusting the pinions and the number of holes in the roller,
see the seed distance table.
Note: the actual planting distances may vary depending on soil quality and speed
of work. Test intervals based on the ground before you start planting.

➜ PLANTING DEPTH: Planting depth may be adjusted by lowering or raising
the shoe.
➜SOIL COVER: Adjust the angle of the filler blade for optimal soil cover.
➜HEIGHT OF THE HANDLE: The handle height can be adjusted by loosening
the screws at the base of the fork of the handle and the buttons on each
of its removable parts and by adjusting them according to your needs.
➜CLEANING: If soil sticks to the compaction wheel, the contact surface
must be cleaned before it sticks (it might deposit oil or dirt).
➜HOPPER COVER: The hopper cover is made of different molded holes
representing the holes of the different rollers offered. They will enable you to
verify that seeds and
rollers are well-chosen and suitable. Under each mold, the size of the hole.
The table below shows the sizes of the roller holes enabling you to find the
roller that you need.

Feel free to contact us for any special request of seed rollers
(for other dimensions than the one quoted in the table).
Quoted dimensions may vary, our website www.terradonis.com is updated accordingly.
SOWING SEEDS IN ROWS
➜The quantity of seed is adjusted
by the combination of 3 elements:
-Number of holes on the seed roller
-Size of the holes in the seed roller
-Number of sprocket teeth used
For the number of holes you need: refer to the table of distances below:

Caution: the planting distance depends on the combination of sprocket teeth
(11 adjustment positions) and the number of holes on the metering roll.
The drive wheel may slip depending on soil quality and placement speed.
Therefore, the number of seeds is a guideline only.
If the transmission wheel skids, planting distances will be larger, reducing the number
of seedings. So make sure that the wheel does not slip.
Seed dispersal: Seeds are dispersed in a hole according to the direction of the
motion until they are sown, and roll on the ground.
The dispersal length varies depending on the size of the hole, the soil quality,
the seed size and can vary between 3 and 10cm.

➜DOUBLE ROW SHOE:
It allows to sow two rows, distant of 45mm, by seeding unit.
It is delivered with a plastic seed divider.
To get a higher density, we recommend to use a roller
with 30 or 36 holes.
Recommended for radish, carott, small vegetable…
➜THE ROW MARKER IS MADE TO MARK THE NEXT ROW.
➜THIS OPTION ALLOWS TO INCREASE THE STANDARD HOPPER CAPACITY
FROM 1.2L TO 3L.
➜SOIL OPENERS: (exist in 60mm, 75mm and 120mm wide)
Allows sowing in bed, rather than in line.
In the case of sowing in seed nursery, it allows a better cover of soil
