NOTE: Uneven delivery may result from attempting to use lower rates than indicated by chart.
Above chart is for planters equipped with contact drive. Check tires for correct operating pressure.
Chart calculated with a bulk density of 65 pounds per cubic foot.
NOTE: Fertilizer application rates can vary from weights calculated in above chart. Make field checks to be
sure you are applying fertilizer at desired rate.
To check exact number of pounds your fertilizer attachment will actually deliver on a 30" row spacing:
1. Remove one spout from one fertilizer hopper and attach a container under opening.
2. Engage fertilizer attachment and drive forward 174'.
3. Weigh amount of fertilizer caught in container and multiply by 100. Result is pounds of fertilizer delivered per acre
when planting in 30" rows. To convert this delivery rate for wider rows, multiply by following conversion factors:
36" multiply by 0.83
38" multiply by 0.79
