Overview

This comprehensive technical document provides detailed parts lists, assembly components, and specifications for Vector series agricultural machinery, primarily models 460 and 620. It covers a wide range of mechanical and hydraulic components including fasteners, tine elements, coulter points, drawbar assemblies, brakes, lighting, rollers, levellers, and hydraulic systems. Multilingual descriptions (German, English, French) and precise part numbers facilitate accurate ordering and maintenance.

1. Fasteners and Locking Components

• Includes washers (standard, hardened, zinc-plated), nuts (M12 to M22, strength grades 10.0 and 10.9), lockpins, spring bushes, and specialized locking washers for secure assembly.
• Specifications detail dimensions, material treatments, and strength classes to ensure durability under operational stresses.
• Emphasis on using hardened washers and lock washers to maintain fastening integrity.

2. Tine Elements (SGF and SGH)

• Critical soil-engaging components with manufacturer-only disassembly warnings to ensure safety.
• Includes lockpins, spring bushes, bolts, nuts, and hydraulic stone protection parts integrated with cylinders and bearings.

3. Coulter Points and Shares

• Various coulter points and shares such as TopMix plates with hard metal tips, wing shares (left/right), chisel shares with reversible coatings, and guide plates for soil flow management.
• Designed for durability and effective soil penetration.

4. Drawbar and Undercarriage Components

• Drawbars with telescopic inserts, pivot joints, universal joints, and heavy-duty hitch eyes (Cat IV and V).
• Parking supports, hydraulic cylinders for drawbar operation and stone protection, and associated fasteners.
• Detailed bolt sizes, washer dimensions, and compatibility notes for various Vector models.

5. Brakes and Lighting

• Parking brakes and service brakes rated for 25 km/h and 40 km/h operation.
• Lighting assemblies including LED rear lights, reflectors, warning panels, protective covers, and cable sets with color-coded wiring for turn signals, brake lights, and fog lights.
• Emphasis on correct installation of locking pins and castellated nuts to prevent loosening.

6. Hydraulic Systems

• Extensive hydraulic components including cylinders (depth adjustment, stone protection, brakes), hoses (DN6, DN10, DN12), valves (load-holding/counterbalance), quick-release couplings, and fittings.
• Hydraulic plans for drawbar, undercarriage, folding mechanisms, and electro-hydraulic depth adjustment.
• Critical instructions to bleed hydraulic cylinders and hoses before installation to avoid air entrapment.
• Special notes on pipe shortening and ordering specific parts (e.g., cutting rings) for machines with serial numbers up to SN301 902.
• Torque specifications for valve assembly and fittings to ensure system reliability.

7. Structural Frames, Rollers, Levellers, and Levelboards

• Frames and supports for Vector 460/620 including center and side frames with hydraulic stone protection.
• Rollers (DSTS and TT types) with varying ring counts and diameters, roller frames, swivel joints, and hub limiters for articulation.
• Leveller assemblies with adjustable brackets, telescopic tubes, leveller tines, wear plates, and locking mechanisms.
• Levelboards with multiple tine configurations, support brackets, and wear parts for soil levelling and seedbed preparation.
• Mounting arms and lighting brackets designed for secure attachment and operational visibility.

8. Pneumatic Brake System Components

• Pressure vessels (10 bar, 20-30 liters), brake valves, relay valves, safety valves, and service line hose couplers.
• Membrane cylinders, brake shoes, brake drums, and associated hardware for pneumatic braking.
• Recommendations to specify hose lengths when ordering and use appropriate clamps and seals.

9. Electrical Wiring and Lighting Connections

• 7-pin flat plug connectors, pre-assembled lighting cables with color-coded wiring for various lighting functions.
• LED lighting components introduced from 2022 with rubber mounts and protective covers.
• Wiring harnesses and terminals for Vector Easy Shift and ISO-BUS systems supporting hydraulic control and monitoring.

10. Maintenance and Safety Notes

• Strong warnings against unauthorized disassembly of tine elements to prevent damage and injury.
• Use of hardened washers, lock washers, and locking pins to maintain assembly security.
• Regular inspection and replacement of wear parts such as brake shoes, wear plates, and locking pins.
• Follow manufacturer torque specifications and assembly sequences to avoid mechanical failures.
• Bleed hydraulic cylinders and hoses before installation to ensure proper function.

11. Critical Parameters and Best Practices

• Use specified fasteners with correct strength grades and plating for corrosion resistance.
• Ensure compatibility of universal joints, drawbar components, and hydraulic fittings with machine categories and serial numbers.
• Apply correct tightening torques (e.g., up to 500 Nm for certain bolts, 50-100 Nm for valve screws).
• Secure all locking devices (pins, lynch pins, castellated nuts) to prevent loosening during operation.
• Specify exact hose lengths and use protective tubes and clamps to safeguard hydraulic lines.
• Follow installation instructions tailored to machine variants and serial numbers.
