Using Reduced Seed Rate
The components installed reduce the population rate, for
Native Grass only, by 42%, which is an adjustment factor
of 0.58.
The Seed Rate Reduction kit does not affect the popula-
tion rates of:
• main seed box
• small seeds box
Not all Seed Rate manuals include both standard and
Reduced Rate charts.
Use your existing Seed Rate charts for native grass, and
apply the correction factor.
For Series I Native Grass Seeding
The chart rates, in pounds-per-acre, need to be adjusted
by multiplying by 0.58.
For Series II Native Grass Seeding
The chart rates, in cup-revolutions-per-acre, need to be
adjusted by multiplying by 0.58.
Maintenance
Re-check chain slack after first few hours or operation,
due to seating.
The installation of this kit requires no other changes to
the regular maintenance of the drill as specified in the
Operator’s Manual.
