Single a potato planter for a motor tractor is a continuation of the line of planters of our production. The main difference is the enlarged hopper, the effective volume of which is 60 liters. The KS10 potato planter can be aggregated both to factory motor tractors and to motor tractors based on the conversion kit of our production.

The dosing device is based on a chain transmission that has proven itself well in our previous developments, in which potato baskets are attached to a chain. The chain has 104 links, 13 baskets with a diameter of 50 mm are installed. The distance between the baskets is 8 links.

The bunker is made of sheet steel with a thickness of 1 mm. The frame at the base of the KS10 potato planter is made of a 40x40x4 mm corner. The lanyard fastening collar to the hopper has a thickness of 5 mm, and the corresponding fastening plate has a thickness of 8 mm. The lower base of the towing device is made of a 6x40 mm steel strip. The towing unit is located at a height of 380 mm (ie rimwheels). The total height is 820 mm (on the rim) and 875 mm (on the spikes of the ground contact).

Ground-track wheels have a diameter of 318 mm, a rim thickness of 4 mm, and a width of 150 mm. The drive shaft has a diameter of 25 mm.

The opener is made of 2 mm thick sheet steel.

Disc harrows with a diameter of 275 mm, made of sheet steel with a thickness of 2 mm, are installed for hilling the planted potatoes. A pair of 202 bearings is installed.

It is possible to adjust the step of landing in a row. 200 mm and 250 mm landing steps are possible.

Principle of operation:

The rotating moment from the wheels of the potato planter is transmitted to the shaft, on which the stars are installed, with the help of which the planting step in the row is adjusted. The drive stars are connected to the star of the upper shaft by a chain transmission, there is also a chain stabilizer. A pair of stars is also installed inside the mine - upper and lower, which are connected to each other by a chain, on which cells for potatoes are installed.(//tractor-service.com)
