• Weighing the product going into the tank will ensure
greater accuracy.
Rate Check tips:
• Initial tank level check
should be done after 
metering some product 
so a V-formation forms 
inside the tank. This will 
make for more accurate 
tank level check. 
 
• Use attached operator worksheets for keeping important
information documented ie; cal weights, seeding rates, 
gearbox settings etc. 
• For low rate products (Under 10/lb/ac) ie; Canola - Do a
Rate Check with 2 x 50lb bags seed until empty, add 
two more bags and repeat Rate Check procedure. 
Repeating the procedure increases the accuracy of the 
Rate Check.
