Agricultural distributor

Abstract

Abstract Agricultural distributor, especially a seed drill and fertiliser distributor having a storage bin from which the seed or fertiliser to be delivered is delivered in adjustable amounts via metering members that can be controlled by control members, there being assigned to at least one metering member a sensor which senses the delivered number of the grains of seed or fertiliser, or the amount of the delivered seed or fertiliser, and transmits the corresponding signals to an evaluation computer from which the adjustment of the metering members is determined via the control members. In order also actually to achieve at once the desired sudden change in amount delivered in the case of a desired sudden change in desired value using an agricultural distributor according to the preamble, it is provided that given a sudden change in the prescribed desired value of the amount/number of corns to be delivered the setting of the metering members via the control members is first adjusted by the computer in accordance with the percentage change in desired value, that the values determined by the evaluation computer are likewise simultaneously varied in percentage terms in accordance with the change in desired value, and that these percentage-altered values are then used as the basis for further control. <IMAGE>
