About Brush Meter Charts
The charts are for plates by cell count, and apply to any
seed compatible with the plate.
Reading a Brush Meter Chart
For brush meters, the chart has separate columns based
on the cell count of the seed plate installed. For plate
selection see “Seed Plates” in the Options section of the
Operator manual. To change plates, see “Installing
Brush Meter Plates” in the Operator manual.
Note: Actual charts begin on page 14.
Images at right are excerpts.
Seed Rate: Cell Count
1. Use the chart columns for your seed plate, based on
the cell count.
Seed Rate: Population
2. Find the desired seed population or seed spacing.
Seed Rate: Sprocket Combinations
3. Configure the Transmission sprockets.
The numbers in the Driving/Driven columns are the
number of teeth (T) stamped on the sprockets
required.
Note: Brush meter charts use a single Range sprocket
setup: (20T Driving, 30T Driven)
Seed Rate: Planting Ground Speed
4. Observe the range of recommended planting
speeds.
