Small Seeds Attachment Rate
Small seeds attachment box planting rate is controlled
by:
• Seed Rate handle setting
Small seeds rate is independent of the Range and
Transmission sprockets used for main seed box planting.
The small seeds cups also have no doors to adjust.
Before setting the rate, raise the drill and rotate the
gauge wheels. Check that seed meters, seed tubes and
drives are working properly and are free from foreign
material.
The procedure for setting the small seeds box rate is:
1. Disable main box seed meters (see page 54). Shut
off seed flow and disengage meters from drives. Do
not lock up row units.
2. Consult the charts for your crop in the Seed Rate
manual. That provides the initial Rate Handle
settings.
3. Configure Seed Rate handle on one or both sides of
the drill.
4. Calibrate the drill for your specific seed.
5. Set both rate handles identically.
Small Seeds Rate Handle
Refer to Figure 30
Position the small seeds seed cup lever handle to setting
indicated on the Rate Chart in the Seed Rate manual.
To adjust:
1. Loosen wing nut under handle .
2. Slide handle until indicator is about 10 past the
desired value, then move it back to the desired value.
3. Tighten wing nut.
Small Seeds Rate Calibration
Note: You may need to increase seed cup setting for light-
er than average seed or decrease seed cup setting
for heavier than average seed.
Note: The seed rate charts are based on cleaned, un-
treated seed of average size and test weight. For
seed not listed on the charts, compare weight and
size to those listed and use a similar setting.
