Section 3: Adjustments
g. Weigh seed which has been metered out.
•
If weight is in pounds, divide total weight of
seed metered out by 3 to get the number of
pounds metered by each seed cup.
•
If weight is in ounces, divide total weight of
seed metered out by 48 to get number of
pounds metered by each seed cup.
h. Next, multiply number of pounds per cup by
number of cups on your seeder to arrive at total
pounds per 1000 sq. ft. or pounds per 1/10 acre.
i. If calculations are based on 1/10 acre, multiply
total pounds by 10 to arrive at pounds per acre.
j. If this figure (total pounds per 1000 sq. ft. or acre)
is different than desired, then readjust your seed
cup adjustment lever accordingly.
3. You may want to repeat calibration procedure if
results of your calibration vary greatly from
suggested settings in the chart.
IMPORTANT: Remember, field and seed conditions
will affect seeding rates. Check amount of seed
being using by noting acres or square feet seeded,
amount of seed added to the seeder, and level of
seed in the seed box. It may be necessary to make
minor adjustments to the seeding rate if the seeder
has been accurately calibrated and is seeding more
or less seed than desired.
IMPORTANT: Do Not operate seed rate adjustment
lever at -0- setting. Seed cup damage may occur.
Do Not set door handles and seed rate adjustment
lever to the widest open position with seed in the box
unless complete clean out is desired.
