Soil Deflectors; Rotor Speed - Tulip Roterra-35 Betriebsanleitung

Soil deflectors

4.2
The soil deflector A (fig. 8) is adjustable both in the
horizontal and vertical direction.
- The deflector should be so fitted that it cuts into the soil up
to 5 cm as a maximum and that the space between the
deflector and the depth control roller is as small as
possible.
Throughout the operation and lifting of the machine the
soil deflectors should remain clear of the depth control
roller.
- Fit the guide plate B in such a position that an optimum soil
flow towards the roller is ensured.
Minimum distance between the lower side of the soil
deflector and the tines runs from 0,5 to 1,5 cm.
- Adjust this distance by fitting or removing washers above
the buffer.

Rotor speed

4.3
Soil condition, required crumbling and forward speed are the
decisive factors for the machine's rotor speed.
Rotor speed is determined by the change gear combination in
the gearbox (fig. 9) as well as by the PTO speed.
Through the sight glass in the gearbox cover you can check
the gear combination. The number shown at the mark which
coincides with the upper side of a gear tooth indicates the
number of teeth of the gear fitted on the intermediate shaft
(bottom gear).
Listed in the schedule below are the rotor speeds which can
be achieved with the various gear combinations.
CHANGE GEARS
ROTERRA ® -35
PTO output : 540 rpm
PTO output : 1.000 rpm
Whenever possible, use the lowest rotor speed with the
machine still doing a good job. Higher rotor speeds cause
finer crumbling but also require more power whilst also
leading to increased wear and tear of tines.
