TEXT A

GRAIN DRILLS

The grain drill is a machine designed to place the seeds in narrow rows at specific depths. The principal parts are: the frame, transport and drive wheels, a box for seed, a device to meter the seed out of the hopper, furrow openers and covering devices.

Tractor-operated grain drills are known to be divided into two types: trailing and mounted. Most of the trailing types are supported by a wheel at each end of the drill. That’s why this type is called an end-wheel drill. The wheels serve as ground traction drives to operate the moving parts of the drill. Trailing press-wheel drills are partly supported by the large press wheel at the rear and partly by the hitch bar in front. Mounted grain drills are attached to the tractor by the three-point hitch. The drill feeds and other moving parts are driven by the power take off of the tractor.

It is known that grain drills are also classified as plant drills and fertilizer drills. One should know how to select a proper drill and how to care for that drill.It is important to know how to operate the drill as proper management reduces field breakdowns.

SEED DRILL

The seed drill was invented by Jethro Tull in 1701. It allowed farmers to sow seeds in well-spaced rows. Prior to this farmers sowed seeds by hand (broadcasting). Some of the broadcast seeds had never germinated; the others had been by frost or died from lack of access to water and fertilizer.

This invention gave farmers greater control over the depth that the seed was planted and the ability to cover the seed. This greater control meant that seeds germinated consistently and in good soil. Later seed drills have become more advanced but the technology remained the same. The first drills were small enough to be drawn by a single horse, but development of larger and more efficient drills allowed farmers to seed larger areas in a single day.

Recent improvements to drills allow seed drilling without prior tilling or preparing the soil. This means that soils are protected until the seed germinates and grows enough. So, drills may be used for sowing all kinds of seeds from the size of beans to that of clover, at various seed rates and depths in rows at different distances.

WORD LIST

invent – изобретать

allow – позволять

prior to – раньше, прежде, до

broadcasting – посев вразброс

germinate – прорастать

lack – отсутствие

access – доступ

depth – глубина

seed rate – норма посева (высева)

rows – борозда, рядок, междурядье

4. The fist drills were small enough to be drawn by a horse, but then larger and more efficient drills allowed farmers to seed larger areas.

ATTACHMENTS FOR GRAIN DRILLS

When a fertilizer attachment is used, the drill is usually called a fertilizer drill, even though it is equipped with the regular grain-sowing feeds. A special fertilizer tube serves to conduct the fertilizer to the soil. Liquid fertilizer attachments are available for grain drills.

A grass-seeding attachment is necessary for almost all grain drills. It is attached either in front of or to the rear of the main seedbox. Where the soil is dry and likely to blow, press wheels are used to cover the seed and press the soil around them.

There is a special-type drill, sometimes called a grassland drill. Small grains and grass seed can be planted without first plowing, harrowing and preparing the seedbed. These three operations are performed by a drill. The seeds are sown and fertilizer is applied as a furrow is opened.
