07-04-362 SULKY TRAMLINE ANGLAIS 14/05/07 17:28 Page 10TRAMLINEExclusive to SULKY:the “Double Effect” depthcontrolThe largest adjustment rangeavailable on the marketWhen it comes to drilling depth, SULKY knows yourrequirements : even drilling, whether you are sowingOilseed Rape in Summer close to the surface forexample or Peas during the Autumn (depth of at least5cm).This is why we have equipped our LS drillingelements with a powerful “double acting” system.• When set to minimum pressure, there is almost totalcancellation of the weight on the drilling elements.This is essential with small seeds (Rape, Alfalfa...) andwhen using disc coulters on loose soils due their extraweight.Extending the springreleases pressure on the disc• When set to maximum pressure, on the other hand,the entire pressure range is available : up to 20kg onthe LS 2.20 coulter toolbar and up to 30kg on theLS 2.30 Unidisc toolbar.• A centralised control, through an easy to reachhandle, allows you to increase or reduce the drillingpressure as required depending on your conditions.By fitting the spring at an angle and under constantpressure, an anti-bounce effect is obtained, whichis difficult to obtain with drilling systems usinghorizontally positioned springs.Compressing the springapplies pressure to the discEmergence of Rape after sowing with anLS 2.30 drilling system with discs.10

A choice of either straight tines or “elbow”levelling tines is available.Note : The following harrows of the TRAMLINE 4.00mdrills (SX and CX) feature 4 support arms forincreased efficiency and strength over time.Depth limiter skid• Better depth control on looseor uneven ground• Precise setting, quickfitting/dismantlingConsolidation wheels: priority forsoil/seed contactCertain high value crops such as flax or vegetablesneed an emergence as even as possible in order tosucceed. This is why SULKY has developed a"consolidation wheel" kit that can be fitted tothe LS drilling systems with coulters orunidiscs. Each 40 mm wide wheel exertspressure on the row in order to achieveoptimum soil/seed contact. This pressure canbe adjusted through 12 different positionsincluding a totally raised position if workingconditions become difficult.11

It guarantees outstanding precision both withsmall seeds (e.g. Rape) and with larger seeds (e.g.Peas).For maximum reliability, the SULKY variator is driven byboth wheels on the TRAMLINE SE and SX 3.00m(standard 722 mm ø) and on TRAMLINE SX 4.00m(760mm ø, 264 mm wide). The TRAMLINE CE/CXintegrated drills have a large diameter (760 mm) sunlandwheel thus leaving no marks on the seedbed.All the TRAMLINE models benefit from a freewheeldrive which protects the variator in case of unintentionalreversing while the drill is on the ground.The variator can be equipped with the MS systemwith rate calibration assistance and on-the-move rateadjustment. (see page 15)Quick and reliablecalibration testThis is very easily and securelydone with the drill on the groundthanks to two trays both fitted withemptying hatches.From a single weighing operation, theSULKY slide-rule enables the operator toread off the correct rate setting.With this setting method, SULKY hassimplified the in-field calibration test.423The most completehopper base on themarketV shaped base, a slowlyrotating agitator, partitionspreventing seedmovement, anti-compactionbaffle and separatingbaffles :• Ensure even seed flowtowards the metering units• Reduce seed drift whenworking on slopes and hills• Reduce minimum quantity ofseed necessary for themetering units.20,05110,0040035030090250200* Optional on TRAMLINE SE12

07-04-362 SULKY TRAMLINE ANGLAIS 14/05/07 17:28 Page 13The MeteringSystemPrecise and gentlehandling of seeds from Rapeto field Beans.Under the action of a slowlyrotating agitator, the seeds are gentlyguided from the hopper to the pegwheels and from here to the drillingelements. Each peg wheel consists of a finetoothed roller for small seeds (Rape) and acoarse roller for other seeds (Cereals, Peas…).A key is supplied with the drill to easily disconnectthe two rollers in a few seconds for sowing smallseedsVersatile peg wheel meteringSulky’s system handles cereals, grass, small or bigseeds… The staggered pegs on the coarse pegwheel ensure better seed placement along the row.Equipped with several positions and adjusted by acentralised lever, the new bottom flaps withautomatic wear compensation control the quantity ofseed metered by the peg wheels throughout the drillingseason. The peg wheel metering system is perfectlyadapted to high seed rates at speeds of up to 14 km/h(no risk of clogging while drilling peas, for example).▲Each metering row consists of a peg wheelfitted on a shaft that is mounted on rollerbearings, an individual shutter, a corrosionproof metal box and an adjustable bottom flapdepending on seed size. The fine adjustmentof the bottom flaps is achieved by means of anadditional easily accessible lever.TramliningDisengaging half of the drill is straightforward to starttramlining along field borders. The standard peg wheelclutch (with visual indicator) makes it possible to stop themetering rollers (2 x 2), providing tramlines for future fertiliseror spraying applications.Half of the drill can be disengaged (on the left side).13

They are refilled effortlessly, quickly... andless often !Guaranteed strong designThe one-section hopper (no welding seams on the base)protrudes over the dual box frame of the drill. The extremestrength of the design, unique in this class of drills guarantees itsreliability and resale value.14

These boxeshave become real seeding management devices enabling the driver to control all operations for long hours at work.MEDION control boxFor automatic post-emergencetramlining by disengaging themetering rollers. The STOP buttonallows the operator to stop the passcounter if he has to lift a side markerto avoid an obstacle.The control box also provides thefollowing information: forward speed,surface sown both partial and total;if the TRAMLINE is fitted with pre-emergence discmarkers, the control box lowers them when starting atramlining pass.ULTRON MS control boxRemarkable value for money ! ,This control box offers all the functionsof the MEDION plus the following• Audible alarms (end of hopper,start of tramlining, metering rotationmalfunction)• Seed rate modulationin 10 % stages (+/-)*, to increase therate when approaching a more difficult area forexample or to drill a double density plot (to monitorfertiliser needs on cereals)• Cut the seed rate if necessary (for soil preparationwithout sowing)• Versatility between SULKY drills and fertiliserspreaders (contact your dealer for more information).• Rate calibration assistance : by automaticallypositioning the variator depending on the resultsobtained (in kg) from the calibration test.VISION SPB control boxThis latest generation control box witha "large display" offers the samefunctions as the ULTRON MS plus :• Possibility to store up to 8 different seed typesor varieties• Transmitting data of stored jobs to a PC (up to 75 differentjobs)• Ready for Precision Farming techniques (GPScompatibility for inter-field seed rate adjustment ;reading of PCMCIA cards used in conjunction withprograms such as AGRIMAP+)• Versatility between SULKY drills and DPX fertiliserspreaders in DPB mode (electronic DPA) or WPB(electronic weighing with continuous rate correction)• Compatibility with Greenstar (John Deere), Fieldstar (MF-Fendt), Agrocom (Claas), Proseries (RDS), Agrotronixsystems…If required, i.e. if the tractor available is notequipped with an MS control box,reverting to manual seed rate control isvery easily obtained by simply unclippingthe electric actuator off the variator.(A) (B) (C)Simple controlsEconomic cab mounted tramlining controls are also available:either operated electrically (A) or by cable control** (B).
