Machine Operation

Model 3605

LEVEL PLANTER

Lateral adjustment is maintained by tire pressure. Check tires are inflated to specification.

Front and rear level adjustment is maintained by hitch clevis
position unless tractor drawbar is adjustable for height. Planter frame and row unit parallel arms must be level for proper
planter and row unit operation. Bottom of toolbar should be 51 cm to 56 cm from planting surface.

1. Lower planter to planting position and check planter is level front to rear. Go to step 2 if hitch is too high or low.

Level 51-56 cm from ground Level planter toolbars

NOTE: DO NOT install safety chain using clevis hardware. Move safety chain location if necessary.

2. Remove clevis hitch hex head cap screw and lock nut using a torque wrench. Replace if off-torque is below 102 Nm or there is corrosion or damage.

NOTE: Clevis must be free to move on hitch. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN hardware.
3. Align clevis to hitch holes at new location and install hex head cap screw and lock nut. Tighten lock nut until threads are fully engaged and hex head cap screw and lock nut are firmly against hitch bracket.

NOTE: On planters with push row units and no till coulters, uplift from down force springs or air springs in pneumatic down pressure system may cause wings to rise slightly in planting position. Problem may be compounded if static pressure is trapped in planter’s hydraulic lift system which can cause wing cylinders to extend slightly. Operating tractor’s hydraulic system in float position or moving tractor’s hydraulic lever to float position briefly to relieve pressure will help maintain proper toolbar height.

4. Field check planter.
Field and actual planting conditions dictate which transport wheel setting to use so row unit parallel arms are parallel with ground. It may be necessary to lower ground drive wheels to ensure level lateral toolbar operation if transport wheels are set in one of the two lower sets of holes. Make a field check when planter is fully loaded with seed, granular chemicals, fertilizer, etc. to be sure wings are level with center frame. If wings are not level with center frame, drive wheels and/or transport wheels can be raised or lowered in wheel arms to increase or decrease planter toolbar height. Raise hitch to ensure level operation.

NOTICE

Raise planter out of ground when making sharp turns or backing up or equipment damage may result.

There are two raised positions on planter. Transport position
is when the planter is fully raised. Raised field position is when planter wing cylinders are fully extended and center lift
cylinders are at mid-stroke. In “raised field position” row units are approximately 35.5 cm off ground. This position is used in making turns or passing over waterways during field operation.

An oil bypass solenoid is located on top side of valve blocks on rear R.H. side of center frame. This solenoid is not energized in raised field position so wing cylinders cannot bypass oil preventing planter from raising any higher.
PLANTING SPEED

Raised field position

Planters are designed to operate in a speed range of 3 to 13 km/h. Higher ground speeds generally cause more variation in seed spacing. Speeds above 9 km/h are typically not recommended. See “Rate Charts”

VACUUM SYSTEM
Kinze vacuum seed metering system includes seed meters, seed discs, and an air system consisting of a hydraulic driven vacuum fan which draws air through manifolds, hoses, and seed meters on each row unit.

WARNING

Moving fan blades can cause amputation or severe injury. Never operate vacuum fan with cover removed.

DIGITAL VACUUM READOUT
Digital vacuum readout is incorporated into Kinze Vision displays. Refer to their operation manuals for instructions.

VACUUM FAN MOTOR VALVE BLOCK ASSEMBLY
A pressure relief valve in the hydraulic circuit prevents build up of oil pressure over 35 PSI (241 kPa) in case drain line when vacuum fan motor is operating. This valve will vent oil outside valve block through a drain hole in the aluminum valve block. This can occur whenever case drain is improperly connected or pressure in motor circuit builds.
See “Hydraulic Schematic – Vacuum Fan Motor System” on page 6-52.
Valve block contains a check valve that prevents vacuum fan from operating in wrong direction if pressure is applied to return side of motor and allows fan to coast to a stop when tractor hydraulic control is returned to neutral position.
NOTE: Fan turns at a reduced speed If reverse pressure is applied.
NOTE: Analog gauges are identical EXCEPT for plug and hose barb locations in side of gauge housing. DO NOT connect vacuum or bulk fill hose to wrong gauge. Check plug and hose barb installation if readout is erratic or appears inaccurate.

ANALOG VACUUM OR PRESSURE GAUGE

The analog vacuum or pressure gauge connects directly to the vacuum and is teed into the digital sending units.
Only adjustment is to “zero” needle with no vacuum or pressure present. If there is a significant difference between gauge and a reading taken at meters, a different manifold location should be found to connect hose to gauge and digital sending unit.

ROW MARKER SPEED ADJUSTMENT

NOTICE

Excessive row marker travel speed
can damage row markers. Adjust flow controls before row markers are first used.

Marker hydraulic system includes two flow control valves. One flow control valve sets lowering speed and one sets raising speed of both markers. Flow controls determine amount of oil
flow restriction through valves, varying marker travel speed.

Loosen jam nut and turn control clockwise, or IN to slow travel speed. Turn counterclockwise, or OUT to increase travel
speed. Tighten jam nut after adjustments are complete.

NOTE: Tractors with flow control valves. Make row marker speed adjustment with tractor flow controls in maximum position. After row marker speed is set, adjust tractor flow controls to allow hydraulic control to stay in detent during
marker raise or lower cycle.

Row marker speed control adjustment

NOTE: Hydraulics operate slowly when oil is cold. Make all adjustments with oil warm.

Output hub Stop collar

Wrap spring Input hub

Control tang
Clutch consists of a wrap spring riding on an input and output hub. Wrap spring is wrapped tightly over hubs during operation locking them together. Higher speeds create a tighter grip of spring on hubs.
Input end of spring is bent outward and is called the control tang. Control tang fits into a slot in stop collar located between input and output hubs over wrap spring. If stop collar is allowed to rotate with input hub, clutch is engaged. If stop collar is stopped from rotating, control tang connected to it is forced back and spring opens. This allows input hub to continue rotating without transmitting torque to output hub, stopping planter drive.
Stop collar is controlled by an electric solenoid and an actuator arm. When selector switch on tractor control box is OFF, solenoid coil is NOT ENERGIZED and actuator arm will not contact stop on stop collar, allowing it to rotate with hubs and drive planter.
When operational switch is in “DISENGAGE” (right or left) solenoid coil IS ENERGIZED and plunger in solenoid coil pulls actuator arm against stop on stop collar, disengaging wrap spring and stopping planter drive.

FIELD TEST
Perform a field test with any change of field and/or planting conditions, seed size or planter adjustment to ensure proper seed placement and operation of row units.
Check planter for front to rear and lateral level operation. See “Level Planter”. Check all row units to be certain they are running level. Row unit parallel arms should be approximately parallel to
the ground when planting.
Check row markers for proper operation and adjustment. See “Row Marker Adjustment” and “Row Marker Speed Adjustment”.
Check for proper application rates and placement of granular chemicals on all rows. See “Field Check Granular Chemical Application”.
Check for desired depth placement and seed population on all rows. See “Field Check Seed Population” and appropriate Rate Chart.
Check for proper application rates of fertilizer on all rows. See proper “Fertilizer Application Rate Chart”.
Reinspect machine after field testing.

3. Measure 11000 of a hectare. See chart for correct distance for row width being planted. For example, if planting 70 cm rows 11000 of a hectare would be 14.28 meters.

11000 Hectare Seed Population Count Row Width/Distance

Row Width Distance

35 cm 28.56 m

70 cm 14.28 m

NOTE: Seeds may bounce or roll when planting with closing wheels raised and planting depth set shallow affecting seed spacing accuracy. 4. Count seeds in measured distance.
5. Multiply number of seeds placed in 11000 of a hectare by 1000. This gives total population.
EXAMPLE: 70 cm row spacing 14.28 meters equals 11000 hectare.
75 seeds counted x 1000 = 75,000 seeds per hectare

Seed count can be affected by drive wheel and seed meter drive ratio, tire pressure, and/or seed meter malfunction.
1. If seed check shows average distance between seeds in centimeters is significantly different than seed rate chart indicates, first check drive ratio between drive wheel and seed meter. Check drive wheel air pressure, check for incorrect sprocket(s) in driveline and check drive and driven sprockets on transmission(s) for proper selection.
2. Check for seed meter malfunction. “Seed Meter (Vacuum)” on page 7-6.

FIELD CHECK GRANULAR CHEMICAL APPLICATION

Temperature, humidity, speed, ground conditions, flowability of different material, or meter obstructions can affect granular chemical rate of delivery.

WARNING

Agricultural chemicals can cause death or serious injury to persons, animals, and plants or seriously damage soil, equipment, or property. Read and follow all chemical and equipment manufacturers labels and instructions.

Perform a field check to determine application rates.

Calibrated vial

Granular chemical field check

Fill insecticide and/or herbicide hoppers.

Attach a calibrated vial to each granular chemical meter.

NOTE: Disengage clutch to avoid dropping seed during test.

Lower planter and drive 400 meters at planting speed.

Weigh chemical in grams caught in one vial.

Multiply that amount by factor shown to determine kilos per hectare.

Kilograms Per Hectare

Row Width Factor

70 cm

0.0357

EXAMPLE: You are planting 70 cm rows. You have planted for 400 meters at desired planting speed. You caught 337 grams of chemical in one vial. 337 grams times 0.0357 equals 12 kilograms per hectare.
NOTE: Check calibration of all rows.
METERING GATE Use metering gate setting as a starting point for distributing insecticide or herbicide. Charts are based on 8 km/h planting speed. Use a higher gate setting for speeds faster than 8 km/h and a lower setting for speeds slower than 8 km/h.

Eccentric bushing

“V” Closing wheel adjustments

“V” closing wheels should have enough down pressure to close the seed trench and ensure good soil to seed contact. Move 5-position quick adjustable down force lever on the top of closing wheel arm to the rear to increase closing wheel spring pressure. Move lever forward to decrease pressure. Adjust all row units to a similar setting. Light soil usually requires less down force at average depth (approximately 5 cm) while heavy soil requires increased down force.

Eccentric bushings in the wheel arm stop allow for lateral adjustment of the “V” closing wheel assembly. Use a ¾” wrench to loosen hardware attaching closing wheel arm to wheel arm stop. Use another ¾” wrench to turn eccentric bushings until closing wheels are aligned with seed trench. Tighten hardware.
Closing wheels can be installed “offset” (to improve residue flow) or “directly” opposite. Use forward installation holes If set “directly” opposite.
