DRL-048, DRL-072 Crop Seeder
Before beginning work:
Be sure all the seed cups completely close and open the same, so all cups are putting out the exact amount
•
of seed. If they are not in sync, one cup will put out more than others.
Ensure when completely closed, the seeding gears are not protruding from the outside the cup.
•
Adjust the clamps to ensure all cups close and open completely and uniformly.
•
NOT FLUSH—GEARS PROTRUDING
To adjust seed output:
The Seed cups on the DRL may come with either of
two different style of seed cups or a combination of
both. Typically the front Seed box section is equipped
with a "LARGE SEED CUP and the rear section typi-
cally has the LEGUME SEED BOX.
The LARGE SEED front section is usually driven with an 11-26 Gear ratio, while the back LEGUME SEED
section is being reduced to put out less with a 12-40 Gear Ratio.
