Planting Rate

Setting the seeding rate requires the following steps:

1. monitor setup

2. seed disk selection,

3. drive speed Range sprockets,

4. Transmission sprockets,

5. inlet shutters

6. meter pressurization,

7. checking seeding rate.

All rate adjustments are performed at the left end of the

planter. There are no adjustments at the ground drive

assembly. Changes in seed rate do not affect fertilizer

rate.

1. Rate: Monitor conﬁguration:

The seed monitor must be set up with the

• correct row count,

• correct row spacing,

• speed calibration and;

• expected population limits, in order to have accurate

rate reports and useful alarms.

See the DICKEY-john

Planter Monitor operator manual.

If you only plant with the factory conﬁguration of the

planter, you never need to update row count and

spacing. If any rows are unused, adjust the monitor

setup.

Speed calibration must be done prior to ﬁrst use, and

re-calibration is recommended periodically, particularly if

soil conditions change.

2. Rate: Disk Selection:

Select seed disks per page 5 through page 7. See

Operator manual for installation. Disks are speciﬁc to

crops. Some crops have multiple disks available, to cover

both seed varieties, and different populations within disk

rpm limits. Disks have a high and low rpm limit, which

also corresponds to a high and low ﬁeld speed limit. The

charts account for these limits.

See “Air-Pro

Meter Disk Installation” in the Operator

manual.

If any rows are unused, install special blank disks. See

“Row Unit Shut-Off” in Operator manual.
