Adjustments
To get full performance from your air cart, you need an
understanding of all component operations, and many
provide adjustments for optimal field results. Some of
these have already been covered earlier in this manual. Even if your planting conditions rarely change, some of
these items need periodic adjustment due to normal
wear.
Setting Material Rates
Rate setting details are covered in the Seed Rate Manual
167-085B, which also contains seed and fertilizer rate
charts. The topic is covered only in summary form in the
present manual.
For an air drill cart with the optional Variable Rate Kit
(servo actuators at variable rate gearboxes), see the
detailed instructions in the 166-263M Installation and
Operation manual.
The ADC2350/E or ADC2350B/BE and attached drill is a
volumetric implement. For a given metering
configuration, rates will vary for materials with different
density and granularity. The rate charts provide starting
point, but calibration is essential for accurate application
(even if using both meters for the same material at the
same rate). Material rates are set independently for each
hopper and meter.
Check Drive System
Reliable material rates are only achieved if the ground
drive system is working properly. The transport tires must
be the correct size, and must be inflated to factory
specifications. Drive sprockets must be correct for the
implement.
