Seed Rate Adjustment
NOTE
Wrenches for adjustment are stored on a pin at the back
of the transmission.
Seed cups discharge to the front of the machine to aid
the tractor driver in determining proper operation. In
addition, reflective amber decals are placed on the seed
shaft to indicate rotation.
WARNING
Seed rate charts are located inside the seed box cover
and in this manual. See Tables 3-1
.
It should be used as
a general guide only. Because of seed variation, a more
accurate rate can be determined by turning the 15/16”
Hex nut on the transmission and calibrating the seeder.
Seed rate for the front or meter box is set by adjusting the
micro-meter on the right side. See Figure 3-4.

To increase the rate of seeding, loosen the large
locknut on inside of the bearing and turn the seed
rate adjusting nut to the desired setting, then tighten
the large locknut.
2.

adjusting nut and set it to the new desired position;

• To prevent damage to the seed meters, do not
apply excessive force to the adjusting nuts.
Failure to do so may result in the seed being
pinched between the cut-off and washer
inside the seed cup.
• Do not close the meters more than 1/8” when
there is seed in the meters without rotating
the seed shaft. This prevents damage to the
rotating washers and retainer rings in the
seed meters.
• Do not attempt to open meters more than 1”.
(Feed rolls could become disengaged from
washer in the seed cup.)
