Kubota AP-PS2072 Operator's Manual

To adjust the seed rate, refer to the seed rate chart provided in the user manual. Adjust the seed metering mechanism accordingly by following the step-by-step instructions for your specific seed type and desired planting density.
First, check for blockages in the seed delivery tubes and clear them if necessary. Ensure that the seed hopper is filled adequately and the seed meter is calibrated correctly. Perform a test run to verify adjustments.
Regular maintenance includes checking and tightening all bolts and nuts, lubricating moving parts, and inspecting the seed delivery system for wear and tear. Clean the seeder after use to prevent seed and fertilizer build-up.
Clean the seeder thoroughly to remove any seeds, dirt, or residue. Store it in a dry, sheltered area to protect it from moisture and sunlight. Covering the seeder with a tarp can provide additional protection.
Stop the seeder and safely remove any seed blockage using a flexible rod or air pressure. Ensure that the seed type is compatible and not too large for the tube openings. Adjust the seed rate if necessary.
Check for proper alignment of the seeder and tractor. Ensure that the seed meter and drive system are functioning correctly. Verify that the seed tubes are not blocked and adjust the seeder height as needed.
Empty the seed hopper completely and clean out any residue. Adjust the seed meter settings to match the new seed type according to the specifications in the manual. Conduct a trial run to confirm proper seeding.
Remove all seeds from the hopper and use compressed air or a soft brush to clean the seed tubes and meter. Wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth and check for any signs of damage or wear.
Adjust the depth control settings on the seeder according to soil conditions and seed type. Conduct a test pass to check for uniformity and make incremental adjustments as needed for consistent depth placement.
Common wear parts include the seed meter, seed tubes, and drive chains. Inspect these parts regularly, especially before the planting season, and replace them if significant wear or damage is observed.
