1. Preparation
Sufficient preparation is required before using the traction sugarcane planter. First, check whether all parts of the machine are intact, especially key parts such as the furrow opener, fertilizing device, sowing device, and covering device. Secondly, ensure that the machine transmission system is flexible and reliable. Finally, according to the size of the plot and soil conditions, select a tractor with appropriate horsepower (more than 120 horsepower) and supporting equipment.
2. Adjust machine parameters
Adjust the various parameters of the traction sugarcane planter according to the requirements of sugarcane planting. Including adjusting the cutting valve according to the operator's proficiency; changing the amount of fertilizer, setting the amount of fertilizer reasonably according to the soil fertility and the needs of the sugarcane variety; adjusting the sowing density, generally, the row spacing between 1.2-1.5 meters/1.3-1.6 meters, to ensure that the sugarcane plants have enough growth space.
3. Land preparation
According to the actual situation of the land, use a deep loosening machine, plow, disc harrow, or rotary tiller to thoroughly clean the cultivated land, remove the roots and stones within 50 cm of the soil depth, crush the soil, level the land, and create good conditions for the growth of sugarcane.
4. Formal operation
After loading the fertilizer and seed stems, connect the tractor to the tractor, start the tractor, and slowly drive into the operation plot. During the driving process, keep the machine moving at a constant speed (3-4 kilometers/hour), and avoid sudden acceleration or sudden braking, so as not to affect the sowing quality. At the same time, pay attention to the working status of the machine, and stop and check in time if there is any abnormality.
5. Sowing operation
When the machine reaches the working position, start sowing. During the sowing process, the operator should maintain the feeding speed of the seed stem evenly, ensure that the length of each cutting section is 30-38 cm, and there are 2-3 seed buds. If the cutting is not done or the blockage is found during the operation, the tractor driver should be notified immediately to stop the machine for inspection and troubleshooting.
6. Maintenance and care
After each operation, the traction sugarcane planter should be cleaned and maintained in time. Clear the dirt and weeds on the machine, check whether the parts are worn or loose, and replace or repair them in time if there are any abnormalities. At the same time, lubricate and maintain the machine regularly to extend its service life and keep it in good working condition.
Through the above steps, the correct use and efficient operation of the traction sugarcane planter can be ensured, providing a strong guarantee for the high and stable yield of sugarcane.
