5.7.4 Shank Pressure
The meter rate can be quickly adjusted while seeding by pressing the Meter
Rate key. This brings up the meter rate setting screen.
The hydraulic down pressure applied to the opener shanks is controlled by a
closed loop system that allows you to enter the desired pressure. The operator
can enter the amount of down pressure applied on the monitor. The monitor
controls a down pressure valve that maintains the pressure setting on the open-
er shanks through the control module. A pressure sensor measures the actual
hydraulic pressure and feeds it back to the control module. The control module
adjusts the down pressure valve to maintain the system setting. As the openers
move up and down with the terrain constant force is applied to all equally.
