THE METERING UNIT
The metering unit accurately places seed in the ground with the minimum of damage as every moving part is rubber covered. Seeds in the hopper fall past the choke A which regulates the quantity of seed in the chamber. The seed belt B is rotated clockwise by the drive wheel C while the repeller wheel D rotates anticlockwise to remove excess seed away from the holes in the belt only allowing the required amount to drop through at the end of the spring base E . The seed drop into the bottom of the furrow is only 25mm minimising bounce or roll of the seeds.
