OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Tractor Preparation Grain Drill Preparation The Landoll 5211 Grain Drill is designed to be pulled by tractor equipped with a double lip or clevis type hitch. If your tractor is not equipped as such, you need to purchase the hitch from your local tractor dealer. Before attaching the Grain Drill, prepare the tractor as follows: 1. Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and add ballast according to the tractor operator’s manual. 1.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Attaching Grain Drill To The Tractor WARNING The Grain Drill has positive and negative tongue weight. Use a locking-style hitch pin that is properly sized for the tractor drawbar and implement hitch. 1. Make sure the tractor drawbar is rated and adjusted properly for the weight of the drill hitch. 2. Measure the tractor drawbar and adjust the hitch clevis to the appropriate hitch mounting holes. 3. Carefully back the tractor into position.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE TRANSPORT LOCK STORAGE POSITION TRANSPORT LOCK INSTALLED FOR TRANSPORT 5211 transport lock locations Figure 4-2: Storage and Transport Position of Transport Locks Transport Locks 1. Transport lock pins are provided to secure the Grain Drill in raised position. Do not depend on hydraulics when working beneath raised equipment or when transporting. WARNING Install both transport locks before attempting to service, adjust, or transport raised equipment. 2.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE HITCH CLEVIS HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT 5210-hitch clevis Figure 4-3: Hitch Clevis Height Leveling the Hitch Clevis 1. The hitch clevis height should be adjusted to match the drawbar height of the tractor. This will allow the hitch to operate through its most efficient range and level throughout the field (See Figure 4-3.) 2. On a level surface, measure from the ground to the top side of the tractor drawbar. For drawbar heights 18” or lower use the lower hitch clevis holes.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SMV SIGN SPEED IDENTIFICATION SYMBOL (SIS) DECAL HITCH WELDMENT SAFETY CHAIN 5211 hitch and safety chain Figure 4-4: Hitch and Safety Chain Transporting the Grain Drill 1. Check and follow all federal, state, and local requirements before transporting the Grain Drill. 2. The Grain Drill should be transported only by a tractor required for field operation. The implement weight should not exceed more than 1.5 times the tractor weight.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 5. Slow down when driving on rough roads. Reduce speed when turning, or on curves and slopes to avoid tipping. Equipment altered other than the place of manufacture may reduce the maximum transport speed. Additional weight, added tanks, markers, harrow attachments, etc. may reduce the implements carrying capabilities. 6. A safety chain is provided with the implement to insure safe transport. DANGER Stay away from power lines when transporting, extending or folding implement.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Compressor Operation 1. The Grain Drill is equipped with a small air compressor to make minor adjustments in system air pressure (See Figure 4-5.) When making large adjustments in system pressure, use shop or alternate air source. 2. Power to the electric air compressor is supplied through the main lighting harness. Connect the seven pin connector to the tractor.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Air System Pressure 1. The air system pressure on the Grain Drill can safely operate in a range from 15 psi to 100 psi. A system pressure gauge is located at the front of the hitch and can be seen from the tractor to monitor system pressure (See Figure 4-6.) It is normal for the system air pressure to vary while working in the field. As the openers raise and lower over ground conditions, so will the system pressure vary. 2. Do not at any time operate the air system below 15 psi.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Hydraulic Lift System 1. The hydraulic lift system contains cylinders plumbed together. The Grain Drill is equipped with a hydraulic lift system to raise and lower the unit from transport to planting position. 2. Before transporting make sure both lift cylinders and hitch cylinders are fully extended for maximum transport height. WARNING Escaping hydraulic fluid can cause serious personnel injury. Relieve system pressure before repairing, adjusting, or disconnecting.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Loup II Drill Monitor Operation 1. The 5211 Grain Drill is equipped with a Loup II drill monitor. The drill monitor will monitor population from two sensors on each box, seed box levels on each seed box, as well as acres planted. 2. Population readings are 95% accurate for soybeans. When planting smaller seeds the population accuracy will be reduced. This does however give you a reliable indication that all sections are planting.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Seed Meter Gate Adjustment The seed meter has an adjustable seed gate to accommodate various seed sizes for planting. The seed gate is adjusted by the handle on the outside of each seed meter. SEED GATE ADJUSTMENT HANDLE 1. Use the upper seed gate position when planting small seeds such as alfalfa, barley, rice, or wheat (See Figure 4-8.) 2. The middle seed gate position is for peas, small soybeans, etc. If excess cracking occurs, move the handle to the lowest position.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Seed Rate Adjustment NOTE 1. The seeding rate is adjusted for each section with the threaded seed rate adjustment at one end of each drill section. The end seed meter next to the adjustment has an indicating scale for reference. Read the scale along the outside edge of the seed meter to determine the setting. The seeding rate should be set the same for all sections (See Do not force the seed meter shaft, damage will occur.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Meter/Seed Rate Handle Adjustment 1. If the seed meter shaft is disassembled for maintenance or repair the seed meters and adjustment handle will need to be reset or zeroed to set the meters equally across the section. 2. To reset the meters, loosely reassemble the shaft, meters, spacers, locking collars etc. but leave the locking collars loose. 3. Tighten the threaded seed shaft adjustment to hold in place. 4.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SEED RATE = (AVG SEED WEIGHT) X 65896 (NO. OF ROTATIONS) X (ROW SPACING) # SEEDS per ROW = (SEED RATE) X (SEEDS/LB) x (NO. OF ROTATIONS) x (ROW SPACING) 65896 # SEEDS per ROW = (POPULATION) X (NO.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Seed Rate Calibration 1. The seed rate charts are in pounds per acre and based on an average seed size (See Figure 4-10.) Several factors can influence seeding rates: seed varieties, seed size, seed weight, seed treatment, seed cleanliness, tire pressure, tire slippage, and tire size. 3. To check the seeding rate: a. Adjust the seeding rate handle and drive type to the desired rate from the seed chart (See Figure 4-10.) b.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Dry Fertilizer Combination Box 1. If the Grain Drill is equipped with the dry fertilizer option, it will have a combination seed/fertilizer box. The seed/fertilizer box is split for approximately 60% (2 bu/ft) seed and 40% (1.25 bu/ft) fertilizer. The box may be used for applying both seed and fertilizer, or converted to use both compartments entirely for seed. a.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 3. When using both seed and dry fertilizer, fill the seed box keeping fill shield in closed position over fertilizer box (See Figure 4-13.) 5. When both compartments are being used for seed, open seed box lids and lift and rotate the fill shield over the rear of the seed box. This allows the compartments to be filled at the same time. This also improves access for maintenance and cleaning (See Figure 4-15.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SEED BOX DOOR LATCH FERTILIZER WHEEL METER SEED METER FERTILIZER DOOR fertbox cleanout Figure 4-16: Fertilizer Box Clean Out Fertilizer Box – Clean Out 1. The fertilizer meters may be accessed for maintenance or cleaning by removing the door located at the bottom of the fertilizer meter assembly (See Figure 4-16.) 2. Remove any remaining dry fertilizer from inside the fertilizer compartment. Be prepared to catch the remaining fertilizer before opening the door.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE m174397 Figure 4-17: Fertilizer Box Chart Fertilizer – Rate Adjustment 2. The fertilizer chart is based upon average size dry fertilizer with a density of 65 lbs per cubic foot. If using a fertilizer with a different density, apply the following conversion factors, and use the closest rate for application (See Table 4-1.) 1. The dry fertilizer rate is adjusted by changing sprocket ratios for each section. See Figure 4-17 for desired settings.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Fertilizer – Rate Calibration 1. Dry fertilizer can be affected by type, density, size, humidity, and field conditions. Operator should verify actual fertilizer rate output before planting. 2. To check the fertilizer rate: a. With a desired fertilizer rate and known density apply the above conversion factor and select rate from chart. If density is not known, use desired rate based on 65 lbs/ft3 from the chart. 3.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE m174412 Figure 4-18: Small Seed Seed Rate Chart Small Seed Rate Adjustment 1. The seeding rate adjustment for the optional small seeding attachment is located at the outer rear of each seeding box. The seeding rate should be set the same for all seeding boxes. On 15' & 20' drills there will be two adjustments to be made. 2. The small seeding rate is set independent of the seeding rate and drive type on the main seeding hopper. 3.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Small Seed Meter Assembly/Adjustment 1. If the small seed meter shaft assembly is disassembled for maintenance or repair, the seed meters and seed rate adjustment will need to be reset or zeroed to set the meters equally across the seed box. 2. To reset the seed meters, remove all seed, chaff, and dirt from the seed box and seed meters. Reassemble the meters and drive shaft assembly, but leave the locking set collars, meter feed rolls and meter cut-offs loose on the shaft.
