Small Seed Rate Adjustment

1. The seeding rate adjustment for the optional small
seeding attachment is located at the outer rear of
each seeding box. The seeding rate should be set
the same for all seeding boxes. On 40' drills there will
be two adjustments to be made to each wing.
2. The small seeding rate is set independent of the
seeding rate and drive type on the main seeding
hopper.
3. Adjustments to the small seeding attachment will be
easier if the boxes are empty of seed before
adjusting. The meters will not be able to be fully
closed if there is seed in the hopper. Do not force the
adjustment or damage may occur to the meters.
4. To set the seeding rate:
a. First determine from the seeding rate chart the
meter opening for the desired seed rate (See
Figure 4-19.)
b. Loosen the large locking nut on the right side of
the seed shaft bearing (See Figure 4-20.)
c. Turn the large seed rate adjusting nut on the left
side of the seed shaft bearing in or out to the
desired setting.
d. Retighten the locking nut against the bearing.
NOTE
Seeding rate are based on clean untreated average size
seed. Actual rates may vary, operator must verify actual
seed output. If a specific seed is not listed, use a
seeding rate for a similar sized seed, and verify output
before planting.
