4.11.6 MUD SCRAPER ADJUSTMENT
Ensure that the Pneumatic packer tire had a pressure of 10 to 15lbs. There is no adjustment to
the Semi‐pneumatic since there is no air pressure. Also ensure the gap between the packer tire
and the mud scraper is between the distances labeled in FIGURE
17. Be sure to check mud scraper setting before seeding and every year to ensure proper gap
between packer tire and mud scraper.
4.11.7 CORNERING
Ideally, the most effective seeding, fertilizer banding and soil packing occurs when the
implement is pulled in a straight line. Some field conditions will not allow all of the seeding to
occur in a straight line. It is important to remember that as the packer tire is following a curved
path, it will tend to ride up on one side of the furrow. Seed and fertilizer placement, as well as,
packing performance are all compromised.
