IMPORTANT: Fertilizer application rates can
vary from the weights in the charts. Make field
checks to assure you are applying fertilizer at
the desired rate.
Use the following instructions to check the ex-
act number of kilograms your fertilizer
attachment will actually deliver on a 70cm row
spacing.
1. Remove a hose from one of the fertilizer
hoppers and attach a container under the
opening.
2. Engage the fertilizer attachment and drive
forward for 142.9m.
3. Weigh the amount of fertilizer caught in
the container and multiply that amount by
100. The result will be the kilograms of fer-
tilizer delivered per hectare when planting
in 70cm rows.
To assure proper application check the gauge
tires and contact drive tire for proper inflation,
see Tire Inflation Chart in “Appendix” on page
53.
Refer to Figure 11
IMPORTANT: Before applying fertilizer make
sure that augers are rotating correctly and are
positioned for your desired rate setting.
