Note: These values are for the shaft only. Drive/Driven
value between the
Seed Rate Motor and Planter
Drive Sprocket must still be determined.
If determining shaft ratios for any shaft not listed in the table above, rotate input shaft (driver) 10 times. Count how many
times the output (driven) shaft turns. Divide number of turns of the input shaft by the number of turns of the output shaft.
input shaft revolutions
output shaft revolutions
Divide number of turns of the input shaft by the number of turns of the output shaft.
