4. Adjustment / Operation
4.7 Work Settings
Optimum performance has been found to be
achieved when the DD Light roll rings have
worn away the painted finish leaving a smooth
shiny surface. When the DD Light rings are
new or rusty, soil may tend to pick up on the
surface and blockage may occur, this will
reduce when the rings are shiny again.
The DTX 300 should be run with the chassis
level to slightly tail low. In practice it is possible
to use the DTX 300 on ground conditions that
are unsuitable to achieve the desired effect,
and it is usually possible to operate the DD
Light roll without regular blockage under such
unsuitable conditions, assuming that the roll
assemblies are tight, the scrapers correctly
adjusted and rings smooth. As such,
especially under wet conditions, it is advisable
to check on the cultivation effect of the DTX
300.
The DTX 300 should be lifted fully clear of the
ground for all headland turns. Turning with the
tines, disc units or roller on the ground could
lead to damage of these components.
In work, the tractor lower link arms should be
run in position control with draft introduced if
required.
4.6 TurboJet
The DTX 300 can be fitted with an optional
TurboJet Oil Seed Rape applicator. The
Turbo Jet is an air seeder unit which uses two
fans to deliver seed behind the rear roll in
work.
The TurboJet can be operated from the cab
of the tractor using an advanced computer
control module, the RDS Wizard System.
