Dry Fertilizer Adjustments (Option)
Refer to Figure 60
Application Rate Risk:
Make field checks to assure you are applying fertilizer at the
desired rate. Fertilizer application rates can vary from the
weights in the charts.
Use the following instructions to check the exact number
of kilograms your fertilizer attachment delivers on a
70 cm or 75 cm row spacing.
1. Adjust for your fertilizer density (see Seed Rate
Manual 401-923B).
2. Consult the Fertilizer Rate charts (see Seed Rate
Manual 401-923B).
3. Install the Driving and Driven sprockets called
out in the chart.
4. Remove a hose from one of the fertilizer hoppers
and attach a container under the opening.
5. Engage the fertilizer attachment and drive forward:
14.29 m (49 feet) for 70 cm row spacing
13.33 m (43 feet 8 inches) for 75 cm row spacing.
6. Weigh the amount of fertilizer caught in the container
and multiply that amount by 100. The result is the
kilograms of fertilizer delivered per hectare.

have adjustable augers for delivering material to the
outlets. Twin-row planters do not have this feature.
