2. APPLICATIONS
TUME-drills are designed to sow all kinds of seeds: peas, beams, cereals, oil plants, grass and grass
mixtures.
The feeding chambers of the drills are equipped with locking plates which make it possible to close
some of the chambers, if necessary, e.g. when you want to double the row spacing. There are
several ways to regulate the sowing depth. The seed coulters can be adjusted to cover all kinds of
soils and plants.
The drills can be equipped with different kinds of seed coulters according to the circumstances.
Wing coulters are standard equipment in the drills because they are suitable for most circumstances.
In difficult circumstances in which the coulters get easily blocked 1-disc coulters are the most
suitable alternative. In good circumstances the use of wing coulters can result in yield increases of
several percents, especially with oats and wheat. The design of the seed coulter spring loading
ensures that coulter pressure doesn’t change too much subject to uneven soil.
By using the optional grass seed box you can sow companion crop and small seed simultaneously.
The grass seed box can also be used to spread some trace nutrients. There are different devices to be
attached behind the drill for secondary tillage. Press wheels e.g. can be used to roll the field in
connection with sowing.
An optional end tow kit has been designed to facilitate the transport of the CK-4000C drill. The kit
makes it easier to transport the machine on narrow farm roads and in busy traffic.
3. TAKING THE DRILL INTO USE
a. Mounting the markers
The CK-drills can be equipped with markers.
Fig. 1. Locking of marker arm and regulating arm.
The arms are mounted to he shafts at the ends of the frame beam. A spring pint is fitted to the shaft
end. See figure. 1. The regulating arms of the markers are mounted to the holes in the arms and

locked with spring pints. See figure 1. A damper spring is mounted between the arm and the
machine end. See figure 3 (used in some models). For further information on function and
regulation of markers see item 4.
Fig. 2. Crossbar mounted to the tractor’s lower links.
Fig. 3. Damper spring mounted between the marker and the machine end.
b. Mounting to the tractor
When delivered the crossbar of the drill is mounted to the drawbar in its place. Because the
crossbar of the drill is attached with a quick coupling the simpliest way to mount it is to fasten it
first to the lower links of the tractor and then connect it to the machine. See figure 2.
The crossbar is detached from the machine by lifting it slightly in the notches, by pulling the
releasing rope and by lowering the crossbar. See figure 4. The crossbar can be used in links of
categories II and III. See fig. 2. Use only ring pins of high quality to lock the crossbar to the links.
After having fastened the crossbar to the lower links of the tractor, reverse the tractor to the front of
the drill so that the crossbar lies precisely under the drawbar. When the crossbar is lifted it is
locked to the drawbar. Figure 5.

Fig. 4. Detaching the crossbar from the drill.
Fig. 5. Mounting the crossbar to the drill.
Mount all the ropes and cables coming to the cab. The top link is fastened to the lug. The length of
the top link is adjusted by keeping the lid of the machine in a horizontal position when using the
machine.
The hose of the marker changer is connected tot eh single acting hydraulic take off of the tractor’s
hydraulic system. The control valve must then be in the ‘lowering’ position.
During transport the side limiters of the tractor’s lower links are adjusted to a fixed position in order
to prevent lateral swing. In working position the side limiters must be slack.
During the first lifts make sure that the mudguards or other parts of the tractor do not damage the
drill.
During transport the markers can be locked in vertical position, see figures 7 and 8.

3.3. Transport in longitudinal position CK-4000 C
3.3.1. General
When the machine is transported in longitudinal position it can easily be transported on public roads
and narrow farm roads.
The machine is transported by means of a 3-point triangle which is delivered together with the
transport wheels.
IMPORTANT During transport in longitudinal position the hopper load mustn’t exceed 20 % of
the max. load.

simultaneously. When the locking opens lower the wheels and detach them from the
machine.
4. MARKERS
a. General description
CK-4000C is equipped with hydraulic middle markers which considerably facilitate the sowing.
We recommend the markers for the CK-3000B model, as well.
The machines can also be fitted with wheel track markers. The main components of the marker
equipment are a changer and markers. The changer is operated hydraulically. Normally the changer
cylinder is to be connected to the tractor’s single acting outlet. The changer is operated
semiautomatically. It is possible to connect the changer cylinder in parallel with the tractor’s own
lifting cylinder. The hydraulic changer can be operated automatically. The changer operated every
time the machine is lifted.
b. Adjusting the changer
The hydraulic hose of the changer has a flow regulating valve which is used to regulate the lifting
and lowering speed of the arm. When turning the screw clockwise the movement gets slower.
When turning anticlockwise the movement gets faster. Fig. 14 a.

Fig. 14 a. Screw
The regulating screw has a little hexagon locking screw. During regulation it must be opened with
the included Allen key. After the regulation is completed the screw is locked.
IMPORTANT Regulate the arm speed low enough in order to prevent damages. Lock the
regulating screw after the speed has been regulated.
WARNING When you use the changer allow no one to be near the marker arms.
Normally the changer lifts both markers. The markers are lowered to the ground one after the other.
By changing the pin of the changer from the normal position to the hole on the side (see fig. 13), the
changer operates as described above with the exception that it always lowers the same marker to the
ground. The pin must be put in the side hole when there is no pressure in the cylinder and when the
other marker is down. When the pin is in the side hole the marker that was on the ground during
adjustment is lowered after every lift. This is useful when working around the field.
Fig. 13. Changer pin in normal position.
EXAMPLE
You sow clockwise around the field. In this case you want the right marker seen to the driving
direction be on the ground. The changer is in normal position, see fig. 14.
-Lift and lower the markers until the right marker is on ground
-Detach the spring pin of the pin (see fig. 14)
-Move the pin to the hole (fig. 13) on the right side.
-Fasten the spring pin
The changer lifts the markers by means of bars. The markers can be locked in transport position: the
middle marker by means of a locking valve, see fig. 7, the wheel track by means of a pin.

Fig. 14. Changer pin in middle hole.
c. Adjusting the marker arms
4.3.1. Middle markers
It is very simple to adjust the length of the middle markers. The distance of the marker disc from
the middle line of the tractor should be the working width of themachine. See fig. 16.
Should the adjustment be incorrect the screws in the arm (fig. 15) are opened and then the length of
the arm can be regulated. At the same time you can adjust the working angle of the disc suitable for
the circumstances. The disc is adjusted to spread out in driving direction.
Tighten the hexagon screws (fig. 15) when the disc is properly adjusted.
Fig. 15. Regulating screws in marker arm.
4.3.2. Adjusting the wheel track markers
The adjustment of the wheel markers depends on the tractor wheel base. See fig. 17. If the drill is
used in many tractors the marker adjustment must always be adjusted to correspond to the wheel
base of each tractor. The easiest way to carry out the adjustment is to do it when the drill is
mounted to the tractor.

Fig. 16. Adjustment of middle marker arms.
Fig. 17. Adjustment of wheel track marker.
Place the drill to the middle of the tractor. The side limiters of the lower links must be in neutral
position. Drive the machine straight on approx. the length of the tractor. Measure perdendicularly
the distance between the middle of the tractor’s front wheel track and the marker disc line. Fig. 18.
This measure should be
Mounting measure = working width – tractor wheel base
If the marker is adjusted when the drill is not mounted to the tractor the best way to carry out the
measurement is to take it from middle of the drill to the marker disc. Then the right measure is
Working width - tractor wheel base
2
As for the other parts the adjustment is carried out as described in the preceding chapter.

Fig. 18. Adjustment of wheel track marker.
5. FILLING THE HOPPER
5.1. General
Even though the TUME-drill has a very large hopper filling takes a considerable share of the total
sowing time. For this reason it is advisable to familiarize oneself with the rationalization of seed
handling in good time before the busy sowing time.
5.2. Correct filling time
We recommend that when starting to sow, the machine is transported to the field empty. The seed is
brought to the field on e.g. a trailer and the drill is filled in the field.
If the drill, however, has to be filled far from the field to be sown it must be transported with the
greatest caution. With filled hopper the max. transport speed is 15 km/h. If the ground is uneven the
speed must be even lower.
When transporting the machine with the end tow kit the hopper should be empty. If this is not
possible the hopper must not contain more than 20 % of the total load. In this case the max. driving
speed is 15 km/h.
The filling grade of the hopper can be controlled by
-looking under the lid. The machine must then be stopped.
-Keeping an eye on the area meter. Then the reading of the last filling time must be put
down and it must be known by experience how large an area can be sown with on full
hopper.
-Means of an electronic control device. The device gives alarm when there is a certain
amount of seed left in the hopper.
The electronic control device is available as optional equipment.
When one field is nearly sown it is advisable to observe, when filling the hopper, that during
transport with the end tow kit the hopper load must not exceed 20 % of max. load. Consider this
when filling the hopper for the last.

5.3. Filling capacities
Max. filling capacities
CK-3000B CK-4000C
Seed (wheat) 490 kg 670 kg
5.4. Filling from bags
Because the drill has a big hopper, the filling height, when lifting the bags from the ground, is rather
high. For this reason we recommend a working technique where the bags are placed on a trailer
platform. The lifting can then take place horizontally and the back is strained less than the lifting
from the ground.
If the drill is furnished with optional equipment including a step the filling is easier, still.
The dimensions of the sieves allow lifting of several bags simultaneously onto the sieve side by
side.
5.5. Filling from a big bag
Big bags weighing several hundreds of kilos can be lifted either by means of loaders or with hoists
designed especially for lifting of big bags. When using the hoist it must be fastened to the three-
point-linkage of the tractor. The drill is then fastened to the hoist.
When hoisting from the side the support legs of the hoist must always be used.
It is forbidden to lower big bags onto the drill.
Never go under a suspended load.
Do not overload the drill. Find out how big bags can be partly emptied. Do not damage the lid of
the machine with swinging bags.
5.6. Use of unpacked seed
When you use unpacked seed we recommend the use of a trailer the platform of which lies high
enough for tipping or the use of transport screws.
When using a trailer choose the tipping place carefully in order to prevent the trailer from falling.
6. EMPTYING THE HOPPER
6.1. General advice
When you have almost finished sowing it is no use to fill the hopper but with as much seed as
necessary. This makes it easier to empty the hopper after sowing.
6.2. Emptying the hopper
The hopper can be emptied either through the coulters or by using the calibration troughs. When
emptying the hopper through the coulters place a plastic sheet or similar under the coulters. For
emptying adjust the feeding chambers to the max. feeding capacity.
The seed hopper is emptied by lowering the lever of the bottom valves completely beyond the scale.
Fig. 23. Take the remaining seed by hand or with a brush to the feeding chambers.
Rotate the feeder some turns in order to make the seed left on the feeding rollers to flow down.
Swing the bottom valves quickly by means of the lever a couple of times in order to make the seeds
left on the valves to flow down.

If the hopper is emptied by using the calibration test troughs the procedure is principally the same
as described above. If there is much of seed left in the hopper the lever of the bottom valves must be
shut for the time the troughs are being emptied.
7. FEEDING SYSTEM
7.1. General description
The feeding system consists of feeding rollers, spring-loaded bottom valves and adjustable locking
plates. Fig. 19.
Fig. 19. Feeding system.
Feeding chambers are situated in the bottom of the hopper. Thus the sown amount stays practically
constant in spite of inclinations in lateral or driving directions.
The quantity to be sown is adjusted by moving the feeding roller laterally in relation to the feeding
chamber. The adjustment is carried out with the hand wheel situated at the left drill end.
The feeding system is manufactured of stainless materials.
The bottom valves under the feeding chambers are adjustable. The adjusting lever is situated at the
rearer end of the machine, fig. 20.
Fig. 20. Setting of feeding quantity on hand wheel.

7.2. Regulating the feeding quantity
The quantity to be sown is adjusted with the hand wheel at the left machine end (see.fig. 20). The
hand wheel is locked with a plastic piece which also contains the main scale 1-10. Every space
between two adjacent numbers corresponds to one complete turn of the hand wheel. The hand
wheel can be locked in 10 notches marked by numbers 0-9 and thus a total of 100 various setting is
available.
To adjust the feeding the plastic locking piece must be pressed toward the machine end in the
direction of the arrow and at the same time it must be turned 90 degrees upwards which unlocks the
hand wheel.
When rotating the hand wheel anticlockwise the feeding grows bigger. When you know the desired
quantity to be sown you get the estimate adjustment for the feeding from the sowing chart inside the
lid of the machine.
It is advisable to carry out the adjustment so that the desired adjustment is approached from the
higher settings. Should the original setting be lower than the desired on the hand wheel must be
turned anticlockwise ½-1 turns beyond the required setting. After that the wheel is turned clockwise
to the required setting. Then put the locking piece to a notch of the hand wheel and the wheel and
the locking piece get locked.
Do not forget that the setting given in the chart is an estimate and that the actual feeding quantity
varies between different seed varieties.
We recommend that you check the feeding quantity by means of a calibration test.
The normal setting of the bottom valves is notch 2. If dirt gets into the feeder the feeding rollers can
get blocked. This can effect the feeding quantity in a considerable degree. We recommend that you
clean the system every30 ha. The rollers can be cleaned by setting the feeding quantity to zero and
back to the desired value. Then you must keep the above mentioned setting instruction in mind –
turn first ½-1 turns over the desired setting and then return to the correct setting.
NOTE! Do not turn the hand wheel violently to zero. Rotate the feeding shaft simultaneously.
Instructions for the sowing chart and calibration test are given later in this booklet.
7.3. Bottom valves
Feeding accuracy depends on the distance between a bottom valve and a feeding roller. This is why
it is very important that the bottom valves are in correct position and that they will not be readjusted
after calibration test without repeating the test.
The bottom valves are spring loaded in order to avoid damage in case a harder object gets between a
bottom valve and a feeding roller.

8. EXAMPLES OF THE USE OF THE SOWNG CHART
8.1. General
Further on in the accompanying sowing chart in item 10 there are two examples of the use of the
sowing chart. Note that the seed quantity figures on the chart must be taken only as estimates. The
actual speed quantity depends on the seed qualities which vary yearly and by species considerably.
The speed quantity must be checked by means of a calibration test which is described later on.
Check the gear ratio of transmission before you start the sowing by removing the chain cover (at the
right end of the machine). Check the position of the spring cotter on the shaft (fig. 21). Never lock
the chain wheels simultaneously, because the transmission can be damaged.
-By changing the position of the spring cotter you can choose the setting for normal seeds or
the setting for small seeds.
-In setting for normal seeds the spring cotter is placed on the intermediate shaft. It locks the
22 toothed chain wheel while the 41 toothed chain wheel is rotating freely.
-In setting for small seeds the spring cotter is placed on the feeding shaft. It locks the 41
toothed chain wheel while the 22 toothed chain wheel is rotating freely.
-Check before you start sowing that the spring cotter is in its place.
8.2. Example of setting when sowing cereals
Case 1
You want to sow oats 200 kg/ha
-Check in the upper right corner of the chart in item ‘cereal’ for correct position of the
bottom valves. The correct setting is position 2.
-Choose delineator ‘oats’
-Check the gear ratio which is to be I. Start reading from the left corner of the chart from
point 200 kg/ha
-Follow the horizontal line (arrows) to the point where this line and the delineator ‘oats’
intersect
-Go vertically from the intersecting point to the lower scale where you can see that the main
scale setting is 5 (turns)
-From the scale next to te lowest (hand wheel scale) you get number 6
