Step 9 – Once the knives get tight, notice
the shank pressure gauge and its reading.
In good seeding conditions, add an
additional 200 Psi to the system. When
seeding small seeds such as canola in wet
conditions, adding the additional 200Psi is
not recommended. You would tend to over
pack. NOTE: The chain that is between the seed
and fertilizer knife is tight. You now know
that you are applying the proper amount
of pressure for the current field.
Example of

setting at
¾”.
You always want to ensure that you are
maintaining seed and fertilizer separation.
Step 11 – Pull back on your tractor lever that
your red banded hoses are connected to in
order to lift your shanks up while you are
turning around on your headland.
Seed Hawk recommends that you still
check your actual seed and fertilizer
separation in each filed. Soils vary, moisture
conditions vary, and over time your opener
bolts if not tightened on a yearly basis will
function differently from the original new
machine. Your seed
and fertilizer
separation may change.
Step 10 – When turning off your product on
head lands, use the packing switch to do
this.
Your Seed Hawk Hydraulic System is rated
to handle over 3000 Psi. All we require is a
maximum of 1500 Psi.
