Step 3. Fit wing nut and tighten and then refit window assembly. To achieve very low rates with small seeds a reducer plate is fitted to the Pasture Planter meterbox. This reduces the meterwheels output to approximately 1/3. The following steps are for fitment of the reducer plate, removal is a reversal of this procedure.
Pasture Planter Meterbox - Adjustments Page 14 Removal of Meterwheel Cover Plate It may be necessary to remove the meterwheel cover plate from inside of the meterbox for lightweight and large seed if high rates are required. To remove the cover plate you will need to have the bin empty.
For more detail on calibration refer: Air Seeder Operator’s Manual, Ground Drive – Calibration. When calibrating, ensure that there is enough material in the Pasture Planter Bin. In most cases 1/2 a bag will be sufficient. Fig.17 Bottom door on pasture planter.
